@Pirat_Nation It is not just diplomacy: Japanese citizens have also launched petitions over the franchises being repurposed for political messaging.

@Pirat_Nation The target wasn't scattered retailers but one store: the Jump Characters Store, Shueisha's own official online shop. The disruption hit the publisher's direct merch operation.

@Dexerto paying real cash per kill is just paying cheaters a salary, the anti-cheat has to be flawless day one or it's cooked

[Riftex @riftexdrops]

@Dexerto YouTube's notice specifically cited a 'Body Exposure and Sexualized Behaviours' violation, and TikTok pulled the stream right after.

@Awk20000 Imagine mentioning the puppy abuse, that's shocking to say the least

@Awk20000 asmon said whoever's crossing illegally, sneako heard 'kids' because it clips better

[Riftex @riftexdrops]

EA's building an open-world hub into FC 27.

The Grounds lets you roam districts, play street kickabouts and get coached by Mbappé, Dybala and Chloe Kelly. EA's calling it one of its biggest reinventions in years. Everyone else is calling it PlayStation Home for football.
