Didn’t understand why the hate ran so deep for Jon Watts until I watched Brand New Day. Don’t ever let that man near a Spider-Man movie set ever again I’m so serious
Replaceable batteries are not a fantasy, companies just needed a legal shove. EU rules are already pushing Nintendo and Amazon toward more repairable devices, from Switch hardware with replaceable batteries to signs of Kindle battery replacement kits and guides.
That does not mean the fight is over. Parts pairing, regional lockouts, and loopholes are still very real. But every replaceable battery is one more crack in the throwaway tech model. Learn more at the link below.

Reposting this touching tribute on this year’s anniversary of Mr. Iwata’s passing. He is missed by his family, his friends, and by the industry he helped to shape and grow. RIP Dec. 6, 1959 - July 11, 2015.
Just to show you how scummy Sony is being with this news.
They anticipated their numbers would drop through people protesting/boycotting by canceling Ps Plus and pre-orders but they won't have to show their numbers to investors until the end of September.
Their next earnings call is July 31st however it only covers up to June 30th. They planned this out perfectly to drop it on July 1st for this very reason. The numbers dip early July, they have over 2 months to watch them HOPEFULLY recover as the deperate gamers crawl back and the investors see that Sony moving away from physical games didn't hurt anything.
Keep this is mind as we move forward. Sony is betting on you caving and crawling back to them in the coming weeks. Oh and so are the investors.
We dropped a nuclear bomb on Japan, twice, and 80 years later they light up their cities in our colors as a show of how much they love us.
Meanwhile, we bailed half of Europe out, twice, and their governments take every last opportunity to signal how much they despise us.
On the one hand, I get it. Couldn’t have been fun to watch. On the other hand, after hearing non-stop gushing about the Mecca of Hockey during every Montreal playoff game, seeing the place turn into a morgue followed by a ghost town tonight was kinda fun
