Australia is planning some of the world's toughest AI regulations

• Water usage will be limited

• AI data centers will be required to become net producers of energy

• AI companies can't train on Australian creators' work without their permission

• Proposals expected to be introduced as legislation in 2027

“Australian writers, musicians, artists and journalists must retain ownership and control of their work. Our laws will spell that out, plain as day ... anything less is theft"

They’ve been hiding minority crimes & blaming them on white people for decades.

Imagine what the real numbers are.

Sony killed physical games because ownership gets in the way of control. A disc is yours and they don’t like that. They didn’t sell us the future of gaming. They sold us permission to play. If buying a game doesn’t mean owning it, then “buy” has lost its meaning.

Internet down? Fuck you
Server issues? Fuck you
Finished a game and want to sell or trade it in? Fuck you
You will own nothing
We will keep raising game prices
We will raise PS Plus prices

PlayStation - Play Has Limits, and fuck you.

It’s now clear that, after announcing the end of physical game discs in 2028, Sony wants a fully digital future where you don’t own what you buy, you just simply rent a license which can be removed when they want

A few days ago, Sony removed hundreds of movies from people’s accounts even though they had paid for them. This is what will happen one day to your games, they will remove whatever they want.

Of course, I don’t expect games to become cheaper. Even though they will save money by no longer producing discs, cases, printed materials, or shipping physical copies, they will charge the same or more.

This is the future they’re want, one where you own nothing and be happy. Physical games will be soon become a thing of the past.

Keep all your physical games, don’t sell them, they might become real treasures one day.

> raise console prices
> get rid of physical media

-> you are here <-

> raise game prices to $100 and beyond
> completely remove the ability to share any digital games
> buying new games will become an expensive hobby, but don't worry they'll definitely make a subscription tier for new games that come out
> hardware will become pricier, the cheapest way to play is using cloud gaming services
> offer a subscription that is reasonable at first
> gradually raise subscription prices

You will own nothing and be happy

If we don't act about Sony's outrageous decision to stop physical media in 2028, gaming might be doomed

NUCLEAR POWER.

IT DOESN'T CARE IF THE SUN'S SHINING OR THE WIND'S BLOWING.

IT DOESN'T NEED BATTERIES FULL OF COBALT OR LITHIUM DUG UP BY CONGOLESE CHILD SLAVES IN CHINESE-OWNED MINES.

AND IT HAS LOWER LIFETIME GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS THAN SOLAR, AND ABOUT THE SAME AS WIND.

IT'S NOT EVIL DEVIL MAGIC. IT'S METAL THAT GETS HOT AND BOILS WATER TO MAKE STEAM THAT TURNS TURBINES.

THERE'S NO SMOKE. THE SHIT THAT COMES OUT OF THE COOLING TOWER IS JUST STEAM.

NUCLEAR PRODUCES AT LEAST A HUNDRED TIMES LESS RADIOACTIVE POLLUTION THAN COAL WHICH CONTAINS TRACE RADIOACTIVE ELEMENTS WHICH GO INTO THE AIR WHEN BURNED.

NUCLEAR POWER DOESN'T HAVE THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE ALL NUCLEAR WASTE IS CONTAINED, AND NO NUCLEAR WASTE CASKET HAS EVER LEAKED IN THE HISTORY OF AMERICAN NUCLEAR POWER.

NUCLEAR POWER IS SAFE.

IT'S EFFECTIVE.

IT DOES LESS DAMAGE TO THE ENVIRONMENT THAN COAL, OR EVEN WIND AND SOLAR WHICH REQUIRE A FUCK TON OF LAND AND TOXIC METALS FOR WHICH WE HAVE NO PLAN TO DEAL WITH.

NUCLEAR POWER IS THE CLOSEST THING TO A PERFECT ENERGY SOURCE THE HUMAN SPECIES HAS EVER DISCOVERED.

WE'VE HAD THE TECHNOLOGY SINCE THE 1950S. IF WE EMBRACED IT FROM THE START, WE WOULDN'T HAVE CLIMATE CHANGE TODAY. WE COULD HAVE HAD ALL OF THE AIR CONDITIONING WE EVER WANTED, ALONG WITH EVERY OTHER MODERN CONVENIENCE WE'RE CONSTANTLY SHAMED FOR TODAY.

BUT WE SAID NO.

WHAT THE FUCK ARE WE DOING AS A SPECIES?

ARE WE FUCKING RETARDED?

The joke being people who experience sexual assault as kids are more likely to engage with CP when they're older.
