Bad news if you're a regular Ustream user on PlayStation 4 as Sony's ditching the steaming platform from the 1st August. This means that you won't be able to stream gameplay to Ustream via the share button, and you'll no longer be able to watch Ustream, er, streams via the Live from PlayStation app. The latter applies to the Vita version of the app, too.
However, as Sony notes, you'll still be able to make use of YouTube, Twitch, and dailymotion to get your streaming fix, so it's not like you're suddenly out of options. That said, those who prefer Ustream and have perhaps built up a viewership through the service will no doubt be disappointed.
Does the removal of Ustream support have an impact on you? Please don't broadcast any questionable content in the comments section below.

well to be fair most of the people streaming trough the PS4 use Twitch and Youtube, so i doubt many will miss it
Lol not sure if the streaming typo is intentional because the service is a steaming pile...
Doesn't affect me at all I have NO desire to watch other people play games when I could be playing myself and NO desire to stream my gameplay either. I am not surprised by this decision as I would think that anyone wishing to watch or stream would use Twitch or Youtube...
Goodbye!
Er, I mean, big shame for Ustreamers.
I didn't even know this existed.
I found it fun to see once in a while, but no I won't miss it
@BAMozzy I like watching people play games that I'm on the fence about. That way I see unfiltered, actual, real time gameplay rather than having to rely on review videos and trailers.
But yeah, I'm not the type to grab a snack and watch someone else play video games, occasionally yelling something, distorting the mic. Here's every livestream ever:
"I'm taking lessons though so--HBBBB THE MMMDBB! OH MY GOOODDD! HBBB THE MMDBBD FFFFB! NOOOOAAAWWW! ...Hey MerKing, welcome to my stream. 'What... level... are... you.' I'm on the fourth level, the water one. 'No... what... level... you... player'. Oh, I'm level twenty--OOOH NOOOO!! BBBFLSL!! HABAZZNAAAOOO!!"
I did not know if that was a typo or the author thought it was a pile of **** not clear from the article. Anyway Ustream meant that I never would interact with the streamer there are better platforms to stream with Twitch being the number one that I use.
Love watching streams spend a few hours a night on Twitch
nooooooooooo "sad puppy eyes" (8*)_(8*)
why ?
I really love the streams, don't watch them for long but always flick through to see what people are playing. But I like watching mates play games too from the same room.
Waste of dayta for me. Good bye Ustream
What in the world is UStream?
Who now?
