Harsh reminder:

Shuhei Yoshida, the previous Head of Playstation, cared a lot about the customer. He was the one who made sure the PS4 had physical shareable discs that you could lend to friends or buy/sell used.

Then one day, the then President and CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment Jim Ryan kicked Shuhei Yoshida out of the position of Head of PlayStation in 2019 because Yoshida disagreed with his direction for the company.

In hindsight, Jim Ryan’s “direction” became Playstation’s obsession with live service. Yoshida presumably told Ryan that it was a bad idea, and turns out, it was.

With Shuhei Yoshida gone, Hermen Hulst took his place.

After that, Playstation changed - the gutting of Sony Japan Studios in 2021, censorship of Japanese games ramped up, the live service, and the increase in consumer-hostile decisions such as PSN+ price hikes, removing games and movies from your library…

And now the decision to abandon physical discs by 2028.

When you look back at what made Playstation start to rot, it always started when Sony Interactive Entertainment moved its operations to California…and having leadership who want to do everything in their power to get rid of what made Playstation special.

You will never get another Shadow of the Colossus, another Bloodborne or a Gravity Rush - and you have people like Jim Ryan and Hermen Hulst to thank for it.

@RevanHit Same happened to me at the top of the water slide in wonkee.

The second Venezuela stops trending, it is like the earthquake never happened for most people. But on the ground it is still hell.

It is the same cycle every time. Earthquake hits . Buildings collapse. Hundreds dead quickly.

At first the videos are everywhere. Rubble, screams, bodies pulled out. Everyone suddenly cares and shares.

Then it slows. The dramatic clips stop. The attention moves on and it becomes old news.

On the ground nothing has changed. People are still trapped, still sleeping outside in the ruins, still out there with bare hands moving concrete looking for loved ones. Families digging and digging even when they probably know what they will find.

@AlexTran677026 I love this film, my children love it too. The comedy transcends.

[kester crook @silvercylon]

@the_culturist_ I saw this in real life and I was utterly transfixed. It halts you in your tracks.

👁️A social media ban = digital ID checks for all

Children have been let down for years by tech companies, by previous governments, and now by this Labour Government.

They’re using that failure as an excuse to rush in mass surveillance | #No2DigitalID

@horrormuseum @BenStiller I can’t split this with Liar Liar as my favourite modern day comedy.

[kester crook @silvercylon]

@StuartHumphryes A totally engaging image, that stare. Thank you.

[Big Brother Watch @BigBrotherWatch]

🆔A social media ban means that all of us face digital ID checks to get online

It will "force the public to trust their IDs to companies with serious track records of leaks and hacks" - @JCoulson1013
