When TripleTags closed up shop for good last week I felt bad about the great art those guys had put together for my “now playing” card, but I’d fallen out of habit updating my Trophy card there. Plus I’d signed up on GamerDNA.com’s site after hearing they were getting Trophy data from SCEA daily. And it worked, sort of, at least until this past week. It turns out that neither they nor Raptr can get Trophy data any longer, confirming my early suspicions that these sites weren’t authorized to get that data in the first place.
This makes me want TripleTags back so I can have a really great-looking Trophy card again instead of the sad-looking one available on the PSN. So why did it go under? Site owner Joshua “SectionZ” Hernandez (a guest of the Aeropodcast) posted on Facebook that he didn’t have time to maintain it any longer now that his new game software company Metamoorephosis is off to a great start with purcussONE and bitFLIP.
Will GamerDNA and Raptr get Trophy data back? I imagine they could continue to try and scrape it off of the site. I suspect this is what PlayFire is doing with the EU arm of Sony. But without an official connection it’ll be a losing battle.
