‼️ BREAKING: Journalists hid an Airtag in a rare book shipment and confirmed Amazon to be one of the buyers behind the bulk orders destroying rare-books to feed their AI.

They tracked it to Amazon's LAS8 warehouse in Las Vegas, home to VGT3 (see logo below), a scanning operation feeding Amazon's AI training data, where workers say they cut the bindings off books to scan them faster.

Amazon won't say why the books are destroyed.

Considering my ps4 will be afflicted by this decision and them removing items bought, I dont think I will ever buy another Sony console again.

Sony has removed nearly 1,000 games by publisher Afil Games from the PlayStation Store.

In a statement, Afil Games said that PlayStation’s new publishing rules are “incompatible with our business model” and that “it is no longer possible to continue publishing on the platform under the current conditions.”

The publisher thanked PlayStation players for their support and confirmed that it will continue releasing games on Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and PC.

The LGBTQ+ community is trying to cancel the upcoming medieval RPG Knight's Path (@Knights_Path).

After the developers introduced a heterosexual female romance option, a user asked about LGBTQ+ representation and received the reply: "We care about fun, not modern agendas."

Since then, critics have been spreading manipulated images from Steam claiming the game was made with AI, among other things.

Nintendo stock in Japan is sliding:
All-time high of 14,795 yen in August 2025, and closed at 9,950 yen today.

So -33% in 5 months:
Investors are spooked by possible price hikes, lack of 1st-party hits and US/EU hardware discounts during the holidays.

Ex-Twitch staff say the 1000 gifted subs feature was made to "squeeze every penny they can get"

Former member of their product team 'dev1yer' said that the option exists only because "internal staff are scrambling to hit End of Year revenue targets to keep leadership happy"
