Brazil has proposed a bill with new protections for gamers 🇧🇷
• After support ends, publishers would need to either enable offline play, provide the community with tools to keep the game running, or offer proportional refunds
• Publishers would have to disclose online-server requirements and guarantee at least 2 years of support after launch in Brazil
• Players would need to be notified at least 180 days before a game's online services are shut down
• Lawmakers have also requested an investigation into Sony’s plan to end physical PlayStation disc production in 2028

@PlayStation It would be so cool to print these and frame them. So i have them PHYSICALLY and can hold them in my hands and decide where i want to put them
@PlayStation You ended the idea of console wars by waging war on a huge population of people who enjoy games and the freedom to go back and play later on physical.
Congrats, you united all the console and PC players to call you all losers

Happy Canada Day @Sony@PlayStation
Rather than our employees and their families enjoying a relaxing and fun Canada Day, they are expressing concerns by messaging VGP management and ownership regarding how your decision to cease physical game production in 2028 will impact the company, their employment, and their lives.
Bravo 👏
Manager: We need to terminate Simon immediately.
HR Manager: Wow, that’s serious. What happened?
Manager: I discovered he is using a mouse mover.
HR Manager: A mouse mover?
Manager: Yes, it keeps his status “available” when he’s not at his computer working.
HR Manager: Okay. Is his work getting done?
Manager: Oh yeah, but that’s not the point.
HR Manager: Is he meeting deadlines?
Manager: Yes.
HR Manager: Any performance concerns?
Manager: No.
HR Manager: So what exactly is the issue?
Manager: His status is available when he’s not actively at his desk working.
HR Manager: How do you know he’s not working when his status is available?
Manager: I messaged him one day last week when he was active, and it took him 35 minutes to reply.
HR Manager: Okay, that doesn’t necessarily mean he’s using a mouse mover. He could have been working on something else and not seen the message.
Manager: Well, after that incident, I asked IT to look into it, and they confirmed he’s using one. Now I track his status throughout the day, and he’s always available.
HR Manager: You track his status all day?
Manager: Yes, I check it every 10 to 15 minutes.
HR Manager: But his work is getting done?
Manager: Yes, but the mouse mover is dishonest.
HR Manager: And monitoring an employee’s status all day is what exactly?
Manager: Good management.
HR Manager: Let me get this straight. He completes his work, he meets deadlines, and your problem is that he’s using a mouse mover?
Manager: Yes.
HR Manager: I don’t think the issue here is the mouse mover. I think the issue here is the mouse watcher.
(The manager walks out of the HR office disappointed.)
When the DOJ (under President Nixon) sued him in 1973, saying he violated the Fair Housing Act by refusing to lease to black tenants— you said “he’s not racist”…
When he had his black employees removed from his casino floors while he was present in the 80s— you said “he’s not racist”…
When he took out a full page ad in the NYT/NYDN/NYP/NYND newspapers in 1989, to call for the death penalty against the 4 black & 1 latino kids known as the ‘Central Park Five’ (who were exonerated)— you said “he’s not racist”…
When he was quoted in John O’Donnell’s 1991 book saying “Black guys counting my money! I hate it… I think that the [black] guy is lazy. And it’s probably not his fault, because laziness is a trait in blacks. It really is, I believe that. It’s not anything they can control”— you said “he’s not racist”…
When he had to pay a $200K fine in 1992 for kicking black dealers off tables at the Trump Plaza & Hotel Casino to accommodate high rollers— you said “he’s not racist”…
When he confirmed, in 1997, “the stuff O’Donnell wrote about me is probably true”— you said “he’s not racist”…
When he publicly pitched (2005) that his show ‘The Apprentice’ should do a season of blacks vs whites— you said “he’s not racist”…
When he started to slander and libel President Obama’s U.S. citizenship status in 2011, repeatedly, because his middle name is “Hussein”— you said “he’s not racist”…
When David Duke (infamous leader of the KKK) endorsed him for President in 2015, and he failed to decry the infamously vile white supremacist’s support— you said “he’s not racist”…
When he has repeatedly harassed, disparaged, and publicly admonished the likes of the Obama’s & their children, Kamala Harris, the late John Lewis, and many other black political leaders— you said “he’s not racist”…
————
He has 5+ decades of being racist PUBLICLY and you still refuse to acknowledge that Donald Trump is and always has been a racist.
Him posting an Ai generated video depicting Michelle & Barack Obama as apes (a repugnant racial trope, that is as old as this country itself, used to disparage black Americans) on HIS SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNT, is yet another example of why he is the embodiment of “when someone shows you who they are, believe them”
This isn’t debatable. He is despicable. He has zero class as a human being. And you’re just as disgusting as him if you try to gaslight us into believing his abhorrent post was anything other than what he meant it to be: a racist depiction of a former POTUS/First Lady.
