Each avatar was given a personal apartment that users could decorate with free, bought, or won items. Home allowed users to create a custom avatar, which could be groomed realistically. Home remained as a perpetual beta until its closure on 31 March 2015. Development of the service began in early 2005 and it launched as an open beta on 11 December 2008. Upon installation, users could choose how much hard disk space they wished to reserve for Home. Membership was free but required a PSN account. It was accessible from the PS3's XrossMediaBar (XMB). PlayStation Home was a virtual 3D social gaming platform developed by Sony Computer Entertainment's London Studio for the PlayStation 3 (PS3) on the PlayStation Network (PSN).
Now, having a combination of stats used to strengthen abilities is a whole different ball game, and I don't know why they haven't done that already.Social gaming platform developed by London Studio
It was pretty cool of them to do that, most companies just let things go on broken, and the game limps along for years until it finally dies. They went back to the model of each faction having unique traits and abilities, where balance could be found somewhere in-between by the players. So CD Projekt Red committed to the core players, and completely remade the game, announcing the launch would be in 6 months, rather than the next few weeks. The vocal players would join for a short time, spend some cash, complain about the game, it would change, but they would still leave.
In the end CD Projekt Red apologized for listening to the portion of the player base that was willing to spend more money on loot boxes, but weren't as committed to the game as, what they called, core players. Prior to that, each faction had it's own way of utilizing different aspects of the rules of the game to gain an advantage that was unique to them this is how it should be, it leaves room for variety. Eventually there wasn't a point in playing a specific faction, because even though each faction looked different aesthetically, the only strategy to win was by outing the most power on the table. The devs simplified things, and those people asked for more of the same, and the devs listened. The developers of the card game, gwent, 'streamlined' the stats of each faction's cards in a similar way, to make things more straightforward for a vocal portion of the population that they thought the game's rules were overly complicated. TL DR These kinds of changes to games tends to lead to other changes with the same effect, eventually everything looks and feels the same, and the game loses it's personality, and eventually it's playerbase.
