Patrick Stewart's self-eulogy is perfect. #patrickstewart

In an era where no one was sure whether Star Trek HAD a future, your warmth and your sturdiness gave us hope. For seven years, you were the Captain of the Enterprise, and you held yourself with that dignity in all walks of life. A knight in the truest sense of the word, and a man who will never be forgotten. Rest in Peace, Sir Patrick Strewart.

« Spot on! Konami’s success proves that gamers want quality single-player experiences and true ownership, not endless live services. Delivering complete physical games on disc like Silent Hill 2 and Silent Hill f pays off! 💿✊ #SavePhysicalMedia #NoDiscNoBuy »

Konami witnessed a 75% increase in profits, due to their strong games line-up and growth of their franchises🚀
See that EA? Sony? Others? Who would’ve thought Konami would recover like they? And how? Not by more live service, not by predatory practices, but by reviving beloved IPs and creating good games.

What a heartbreaking week it has been. Sir Patrick Stewart was a friend, a colleague, and a magnificent actor. From the stage to the bridge of the Enterprise, he brought intelligence, grace, and a deep sense of humanity to everything he did. Captain Picard stood for the best of us, and so did the man who played him. I was filled with affection and admiration for him and his work.
My heart goes out to Sunny and his family. He will be deeply missed.

Fact check, Sony themselves, the actual owners of playstation, are on the public financial record stating, the ps5 sales are down y2y, this year 44% down compared to the ps4 at the same stage, rather take those real facts than some made up shill nonsense 👍

Sony wants to adopt “Intelligent Pricing”, which means using AI to raise/determine prices🚀
✅Sony is hiring a Senior Director for Digital Games Monetization on the PlayStation Store to maximize publisher content performance.
✅Driving the adoption and evolution of Intelligent Pricing and expanding the Targeted Offers program.
✅Championing innovative pricing, promotions, and commercial optimization across the Store and direct-to-consumer channels.
✅Leveraging data, automation, and AI to improve publisher outcomes and strengthen PlayStation’s commercial edge.
✅The job listing does not specify exact implementation details or how Intelligent Pricing will function.

And this is exactly why we need physical media to continue to be produced for all games.
This is the type of corrupt and greedy company that Sony is, and they neither deserve our money nor our trust, and their plan to end physical media is FALSELY based on a fake narrative to cover up for the fact that they just want to extort more money from players
✅Eliminate options and second hand
✅Create a monopoly
✅Raise prices on a whim
✅Keep your tied to their morally bankrupt ecosystem
NO DISC 💿 NO BUY

SONY IS NOW HIRING A SENIOR DIRECTOR OF DIGITAL GAMES MONETIZATION.
And they're talking about "Intelligent Pricing" using DATA, AUTOMATION AND AI.
WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?! 🤡
We've already seen PlayStation experimenting with different prices and discounts for different customers.
And now they want to expand it even further?
Imagine a future where an algorithm determines how much YOU should pay for a game based on your spending habits.
Not because the game costs more to produce. Not because you're getting additional content.
But because the system thinks it can squeeze a few more dollars out of you.
And here's the BEST PART. 😒
YOU DON'T EVEN OWN THE DIGITAL GAMES YOU'RE PAYING FOR.
You're purchasing LICENCES tied to corporate terms, accounts, and restrictions.
No reselling. No lending your digital collection to a friend. No guarantee of permanent access.
And now we're potentially heading toward a future where TWO CUSTOMERS can pay DIFFERENT PRICES for the EXACT SAME DIGITAL PRODUCT.
At what point did gaming stop being about entertaining customers and start being about extracting every possible penny from them?
THE FUTURE OF GAMING, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.
PAY MORE. OWN LESS. HAVE LESS CONTROL. 🤣
SAVE PHYSICAL MEDIA. 💿🔥

They want to use data and AI to “improve” game prices and offers.
You know what this means, they will use AI to charge more to some people and push dynamic prices even more

It's honestly incredible how much has happened in the PS5 jailbreak scene in just a few weeks:
September 29: The Relapse jailbreak was publicly released for PS5 firmware versions 7.00–13.60.
October 1: PS5 14.10 firmware was released with further security hardening.
October 8–9: WebKit and Y2JB autoloaders made Relapse easier to launch.
October 12–13: The Byepervisor-Reborn hypervisor exploit was released publicly.
October 13: The Playden launcher was released, and the 13.60 kernel dump was published.
October 15: Ubuntu booted to the desktop on PS5 13.60.
October 19–20: A private 14.00/14.10 kernel exploit was demonstrated.
And now:
13.60 and below have a rapidly growing homebrew, emulator, and Linux ecosystem.
14.00/14.10 have private research, but no public full jailbreak chain yet.
The PS5 scene is moving incredibly fast.
Where do you think the PS5 scene goes next?

Nie mogę się doczekać likwidacji pudełek. W końcu zrozumiałem zwolenników pełnego przejścia na cyfrę, oni po prostu lubią jak gra znika że sklepu i nie można jej kupić.
Nasz czytelnik, Artur, doniósł nam, że nie może kupić w sklepie #PlayStation Store gry Shadow of The Colossus. Okazało się, że gra została ZDELISTOWANA I ZDJĘTA z cyfrowego sklepu około 21 października. Obecnie można kupić ją... tylko w pudełku. O CO BIEGA? @PlayStationPL

More CDs and Vinyls but no physical game discs.
The Grand Theft Auto VI: Original Score by Justice will be available in physical form, on Vinyl (Crystal Clear and Black) and double-CD. It contains 30 new songs and is now available to preorder at Rough Trade (via @TexFunz2)

Kocham to jak gry cyfrowe od tak nagle mogą stać się niedostępne do zakupu z byle powodu a nawet i bez niego...
Dzień w którym nadejdzie koniec fizyków będzie katastrofą dla przyszłych pokoleń graczy, którzy nie będą mogli w ogóle zagrać w dużą część gier wyścigowych i sportowych, a nawet i najzwyklejszych gier pozbawionych ograniczeń licencyjnych jak muzyka czy marki.
