I have been TELLING you this is coming. Please start paying attention holy shit.
You realize the next step is this will be linked with your Microsoft account or windows hello both of which will require biometrics/ID verification right.
If you care about privacy you to consider either sacrificing your devices potential future security due to vulns by not updating it, and removing copilot/rekall/etc and disabling all your telemetry you can.
Or you need to shift to using a Linux OS that has already stated they do not plan to comply with such legislation.
In either case you need to start preparing for where this is headed now. Because once this all becomes universal globably it will be highly regulated and difficult to get around the longer time goes on.
Hideki Kamiya says game preservation is more important to him than whether games are physical or digital.
“Whether that’s physically or digitally is less important to me, just so long as these games will be available to people in the future.”
Kamiya says he now buys games 100% digitally, but his main concern is making sure older games don’t disappear when hardware and digital stores are shut down.
He pointed to Arcade Archives as a good example of classic games being kept available on modern platforms.
I would love to watch a documentary about the downfall of colour grading in recent films. Like is it a lost skill? Do film makers believe the gray/dull/dark colouring is better? I genuinely want to know the purpose of removing any warmth from movies nowadays.
Sony argues that “reasonable consumers” already understand they don’t truly own their digital games. Fine—change the confirmation button from “Purchase” to “Rent” & see how sales are affected. Consumers will immediately hesitate, exposing how misleading the current terminology is
Ya lo dije en otro post, pero tanta gente sorprendiendose de que GTA VI haya llegado al techo gráfico de PS5 pero es que Death Stranding 2 también llegó a ese techo gráfico hace tiempo.
Esto demuestra que bastantes fanáticos de la saga GTA no saben de la existencia de muchos otros juegos.
Y también aprovecho para recordar que Death Stranding 2 vinó en formato físico, algo que GTA VI se ha negado a sacar.
We were robbed at Gamescom.
On Wednesday, we arrived at our booth in the Indie Area to find our cabinet forced open. Two laptops and a Steam Deck were gone.
The devices contained not only our Gamescom demo, but also personal, company, and critical information.
Here’s our story
Absolute fucking dogshit genAI filter that removes the art direction and tanks your hardware while also being one of the direct reasons your PC parts are 5x more expensive. Great job Nvidia
REPORT: Sony’s plan to end physical game media has reportedly generated enough tension, according to @NWeedle after his Gamescom experience🚀
✅Backlash had impact on their marketing strategies and forcing them to change how they communicate
✅3rd-party developers are preferring not to be associated with Sony at the moment
This is quite likely due to every PlayStation marketing material is being full of comment calling for “NO DISC 💿 NO BUY”
Keep up the pressure and don’t give up. Speak out against ending physical media, vote with your voices and wallets and join the PlayStation Blackout
We don’t hate gaming, we love gaming very much that we refuse to let corporate greed to further ruin it for us.
A digital-only future is NOT evolution, it’s going backwards because it means:
❌No ownership
❌No competition/options for prices
❌No 2nd hand marketing and trading
❌Always being tied to an account
❌Losing games if an account is lost
❌Region-locking
❌64% of the world who have no dedicated PlayStation Store will lose access to games
NO DISC 💿 NO BUY
"tHe DeVs ArE dEvAsTaTeD"
Lol fuuuuuuck off. As a gamer I'm devastated. Devastated that we consumers are forced into an all digital future. Devastated that there is IN GAME CONTENT paywalled behind a $100 deluxe edition. Devastated that these devs are so incompetent that games like this suffer multiple delays. But mostly? I'm devastated that gamers are such fucking pussies, cowards, and corporate bootlickers they eat this shit up, cry over companies that don't give a fuck about them, just see them as piggy banks and dollar signs, and that they've all been gas lit into thinking this is the direction the hobby should be going.
Fuck you Rockstar, and fuck you gamers for allowing it to get this far.
A domain that looks like https://t.co/ItCL8t345u but isn't https://t.co/ItCL8t345u where the actual characters are different.
Internationalized domain names (IDN) let browsers render non-Latin scripts, Cyrillic, Greek, Cyrillic lookalikes for Latin letters. а Cyrillic "а" (U+0430) looks pixel-identical to a Latin "a" in most fonts. so does Cyrillic "е," "о," "р," "с," "у," "х."
register "аррӏе.com" using Cyrillic characters, and browsers that support IDN will render it as https://t.co/ItCL8t345u in the address bar. underneath, the actual domain is https://t.co/NZco4fd9Qd punycode, the ASCII-safe encoding browsers convert IDNs into. you never see the punycode. you see https://t.co/ItCL8t345u. so does your email client. so does the padlock.
a researcher demonstrated this against Chrome and Firefox in 2017 using exactly that https://t.co/ItCL8t345u spoof, and both browsers rendered it clean.
the fix isn't "look closely." you can't. it's browsers flagging mixed-script domains, and you checking the punycode directly when something feels off.
NEW: GTA 6 leaker CyberLeek has issued a final statement, warning the entire gaming industry and demanding a public statement and apology from Rockstar Games
