Indeed, it was PlayStation Home. If you ask me about it, it was a very interesting concept, but the excess of microtransactions is what probably made it shut down.

Given the time period, I want to say it's something to do with 3D graphics, but I honestly haven't got a clue so...was it the earliest game to use polygonal 3D?
