‘No Man’s Sky’ issues refunds to unsatisfied players

It seems the complaints from fans have gotten too much that Hello Games’ No Man’s Sky can be refunded on several gaming platforms—no matter how long you’ve been playing the game. If you bought it on Amazon, Steam, or the PlayStation Network, the providers are issuing refunds for them. It’s particularly telling for platforms like Valve where you can only refund after playing the game for under two hours or for Sony how has strict refund policies. You can contact these providers if you feel like refunding the game. But there’s no telling until when they’ll allow these refunds to happen.

Sony finally enables two-factor authentication for PSN accounts

Perhaps too little, too late but it’s still a welcome addition, nonetheless. Sony PlayStation Network users can now enable two-factor authentication for your accounts. You can get full details about how to activate the feature here. Those who opt to do so (which we highly recommend you do) will receive codes via SMS that you need to input alongside your password and username before you can sign in. While two-factor authentication might not be hack-proof, it’s still an added security that we welcome.
