Sony is facing a $7.9 billion lawsuit that could impact over 9 million players. They’ve been accused of deleting purchased movies, TV shows, and games—items customers thought they owned forever.

This lawsuit, filed by consumer advocate Alex Neill, challenges Sony’s alleged abuse of its dominant position, charging high prices and restricting competition on the PlayStation Store.

The vanilla Skyrim is good not great, but solid. It’s the mods that make this game truly exceptional. With mods, you can shape Skyrim into whatever you want, and that’s why, I think, so many people love it.

True, but Bethesda not only embraced modders with open arms—they encouraged them! You can’t say the same for most other game devs; the majority either ignore modders like they're pests or, worse, are outright hostile towards them.

Well that's bound to happen with or without his comment.

I'll be not surprised. It's Sony we are talking about.

They also Doubled game price on Uk store just days after the remaster trailer. Previously it was  £15.99 and now it's £34.99. So they are definitely milking for cash.

It reminds me of Mike Tyson's quote,

Social media made y'all way too comfortable with disrespecting people and not getting punched in the face for it.

I think what's happening is that many people live in a bubble, believing it's okay to say anything because they have "freedom of speech."

But in reality, they don’t have the guts to insult someone to their face, let alone threaten them with assassination.

I guess they just don’t want users anymore.

Actually, they do; it's just that Google has become a bit short-sighted. They've started prioritizing short-term revenue over long-term growth and user experience.

They seem to have forgotten that focusing on the long term and prioritizing user experience were the key factors that made them an internet giant in the first place.

In any case, Google is a sinking ship. I'll give them a max of seven years before they become the next Yahoo if they keep making incompetent decisions like this.

Sooner or later it is supposed to happen, but I don't think we are quite there....Yet.

Not to mention it'll push more people towards using Adblockers. And since chrome is cracking down on Adblockers as well, people start using another browser altogether. It seems like Google is self-sabotaging with these kind of decisions.

Yes at this point why would any person would care what Google thinks? Google can go fuck themselves.

And it's most likely people are acting on their own accord because they hate him too much.
