PlayStation Home went into open beta late 2008, and closed early 2015. It was a strange, yet interesting service Sony offered. Many gamers easily dismiss it as a total failure, but in actuality it had a fascinating history. Filled with loyal users, successful developers, and toxicity. This is the story of PlayStation Home; dismissed but not forgotten.
