@patrician_tv So why is it that every time a country tries a version of communism/socialism we naturally come in and destroy them? Must not work at all if we have to use armed forces, color revolution them and sanction them and using our currency against them. Give the cia its credit

“Industry trying to survive”

Nobody forced Sony to burn $400 M+ on Concord. No gamer is demanding that you dump a country’s GDPs into games.

If the industry *needs* to spit on customers and take away consumer rights in order to survive? Then it deserves to crash, and it should.

“The industry is trying to survive when games cost $300M”

IT WAS THE INDUSTRY THAT CHOSE TO SPEND THAT MUCH ON GAMES

We are on the precipice of handing our country to Israel.

I hate to be hyperbolic, but at this point, I think the only solution is revolution.

As a growing number of cities reject Flock, some are turning to Axon for surveillance technology.

The problem is that residents have primarily rejected Flock because they value their privacy — but Axon isn't any better.

The company says its Axon Vision technology can currently "recognize observable activity such as physical altercations, unauthorized access, medical emergencies, or hazardous conditions" in real time, and it already has millions of CCTV cameras with this capacity.

Like Flock, Axon uses AI to bolster its surveillance technology. And Axon also has multiple federal government contracts for tasers, body cameras, and cloud software.

Notably, Axon has contracts to provide cameras and data storage to DHS, provide weapons and training for ICE, and more.

Axon also made headlines earlier this year when it appeared that Trump bought Axon stock right before ICE sought another $220 million Taser deal which is all but certain to go to the company.

How many times does Ryan Grim @ryangrim have to get caught fucking over activists before ppl see him for what he is?

He’s a liberal gatekeeping sheep herder for the DNC. His status and wealth depend on it.

He opposes actual working class challenges to power, his power, white…

If you needed more proof that this IS NOT GOING AWAY, here you go.

Sony tried to pay off media outlets to make it look like the outrage was dying down.

It didn’t work.

They have to answer to investors on September 30th.

Hopefully the CEO and execs get axed.

Keep fighting!

They have Billionaire Donors, expensive PR firms, and federal grants.

We have you.

We'll take those odds.

"You know PlayStation isn't going to reverse their policy, right?"

Wow, good point. I'll just throw my beliefs aside and only buy digital PS games I don't own, then.

That's what you want me to say, right?

[Kshama Sawant @cmkshama]

I'm fighting for an end to the genocide in Gaza, an end to all military aid to Israel, and a permanent arms embargo on Israel.

Israel is an apartheid state carrying out genocide and ethnic cleansing.

No aspect of this genocidal project can be considered "defensive."

Iron Dome, Arrow, David's Sling — all funded by bipartisan support from the Democratic and Republican parties — are part of the genocidal hardware of the Israeli state. They have allowed Israel to carry out slaughter of the Palestinian people with impunity. They have also enabled Israel to brutally and relentlessly attack Lebanon, Iran, Syria, and Yemen. There is nothing defensive, or defensible, about any of this.

Help us defeat genocidal Democratic Congressmember Adam Smith. The primary election is on August 4th.

New @discotekmedia Deep Dives!

Lots of discs this time w/ all of Symphogear, lots of Lupin, & a wide selection of hard to find Blu-rays!

Spend your money on discs, we don't sell access to the store. Maybe get some sushi after if you want to spend more.

🚨 There is a HIDDEN CLAUSE in the 2027 NDAA that calls for unprecedented merging of US and Israeli militaries. This is TREASON!!

The Senate is likely to vote on it this week. Call and tell them to vote NO!!

Sony and Playstation doesn't care about you, they want physical discs gone. They will keep ignoring fans and not care. But there are things they will HAVE TO CARE about:

I have done a lot of research and got help from a lot of people to find out all this info, so please read and try to understand all this. There is no reason to argue with each other, no rage or anything like that will actually do anything. But reading and understanding how things work might:

Right now, a Dutch group is suing Sony for €400 million in the "Fair PlayStation" lawsuit on behalf of 1.7 million gamers.
Their argument is that Sony controls basically all digital game sales on PlayStation and charges a 30% "Sony Tax". According to their research, digital games are around 47% more expensive than physical ones.
Sony’s decision to stop physical disc production in 2028 strengthens their case, because it removes the used game market and leaves gamers with almost no real alternative to Sony’s store.

Even if this Dutch case doesn’t fully win on its own, it still matters. If the court finds Sony is abusing its dominant position, it gives the EU Commission strong evidence to open their own investigation under antitrust rules.

Under EU competition law, the Commission can fine Sony heavily and force remedies so for example by making them allow competing digital stores on PlayStation!

So what can we actually do, since Sony clearly doesn’t care if they lose fans over this?

- If you own a business that will be hurt by this (like a game shop), go to the EU Commission’s competition website and file a Form C. This is an official complaint that forces them to look into how Sony is affecting your business!
- Keep buying physical copies at launch when possible. The more physical sales there are, the harder it is for Sony to claim “nobody wants discs anymore”.
- Sign the “Don’t Kill the Disc” petition on Change org. Big signature numbers are used as proof of consumer harm in these cases. (links under post)
- Support the Stop Killing Games movement. It’s pushing for better consumer rights around game ownership.

Being angry on its own won’t do much. The goal is to create an official paper trail so EU antitrust regulators actually pay attention and take action. This is legit the only way something will change, sony is willing to lose fans over this. Since being all digital for them will be worth it long term!
