@TheAndyCortez This is how it works. You show love and say maybe we stop the hate fighting hate and I get blocked. If someone political does one of the sides are celebrating. Yall act exactly the same and are more alike than you want to believe. Just both sides please stop with all the hate.

If youre a powerful person who uses your power and influence to spread hate and make life worse for minorities/ marginalized people, there will be cheers and happiness when you die. "All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us." ❤️

A Republican dies the left celebrates, a Democratic does the right celebrates. “The People” could still run this country and we could make real change but there is far too much hatred for that to happen.

@afdrumss @TheAndyCortez Cheering for the death of someone who helped fund and continues to champion the cause of a genocide on the Palestinian people seems like a good thing to me

@happyjonmoon @TheAndyCortez Doesn’t matter which side. I just feel like it’s weird to be happy or cheer for someone’s death. Like you could just ignore it but do go out of your way to post or make light of a death is strange.

@afdrumss @TheAndyCortez But it’s totally okay when the other side does it and makes choices that hurt and kill people? I don’t endorse violence, but if someone is an awful person and is responsible for so much suffering, and they die naturally, I will be happy they can’t hurt others anymore.

@mrpyo1 This might be a shocker but Sony nor any company hasn’t cared about consumers for a long time. Has nothing to do with physical vs digital.

Sony and Playstation doesn't care about you, they want physical discs gone. They will keep ignoring fans and not care. But there are things they will HAVE TO CARE about: I have done a lot of research and got help from a lot of people to find out all this info, so please read and try to understand all this. There is no reason to argue with each other, no rage or anything like that will actually do anything. But reading and understanding how things work might: Right now, a Dutch group is suing Sony for €400 million in the "Fair PlayStation" lawsuit on behalf of 1.7 million gamers. Their argument is that Sony controls basically all digital game sales on PlayStation and charges a 30% "Sony Tax". According to their research, digital games are around 47% more expensive than physical ones. Sony’s decision to stop physical disc production in 2028 strengthens their case, because it removes the used game market and leaves gamers with almost no real alternative to Sony’s store. Even if this Dutch case doesn’t fully win on its own, it still matters. If the court finds Sony is abusing its dominant position, it gives the EU Commission strong evidence to open their own investigation under antitrust rules. Under EU competition law, the Commission can fine Sony heavily and force remedies so for example by making them allow competing digital stores on PlayStation! So what can we actually do, since Sony clearly doesn’t care if they lose fans over this? - If you own a business that will be hurt by this (like a game shop), go to the EU Commission’s competition website and file a Form C. This is an official complaint that forces them to look into how Sony is affecting your business! - Keep buying physical copies at launch when possible. The more physical sales there are, the harder it is for Sony to claim “nobody wants discs anymore”. - Sign the “Don’t Kill the Disc” petition on Change org. Big signature numbers are used as proof of consumer harm in these cases. (links under post) - Support the Stop Killing Games movement. It’s pushing for better consumer rights around game ownership. Being angry on its own won’t do much. The goal is to create an official paper trail so EU antitrust regulators actually pay attention and take action. This is legit the only way something will change, sony is willing to lose fans over this. Since being all digital for them will be worth it long term!

@MrBeast The only reason I say $1mil is cuz a million random followers wouldn’t matter to me. They would have to be a million followers who like what I do and have followed me cuz they like me or want to support me. If it’s was just randoms or bought that wouldn’t do any good.

@KJovian I’d 100% switch to Steam if they had a machine/console that was close to what the PS6 when that time comes. If the PS6 is $1000 and a comparable Steam Machine was $1200 I’d switch. But that’s impossible I think.

@GamingCentral26 They have done the math obviously. They will save more money by stopping physical and losing the small percentage of consumers that leave. I guess the the walk back would be a game is $10 more physical than digital. Idk if that would please the physical gamers or not.

@afdrumss @juegolvr Brother it's 2026, I'm not playing any games in 1440p or less 😭😂🤣. And most games on PS5 playing at 4k won't reach 60fps. I have a PC with a 5080, I play every game in 4k 120fps minimum 🤷🏿‍♂️.

This is an important email I sent today to all employees at XBOX: Team, We are beginning the most significant restructure in XBOX history. After careful consideration, I've made the difficult decision to reduce our team by approximately 3,200 throughout FY27. This will include approximately 1,600 role eliminations today, and in addition, four studios will leave XBOX to new management. I recognize that a year-long restructuring creates additional challenges. Unfortunately, it is not possible to make all the necessary changes in a single day, and I wanted to be direct about the scale. I know this is painful. These changes will directly affect people who have poured their creativity into building XBOX. Many joined us through acquisitions, while others were recruited here, or sought us out because they loved this industry and loved XBOX. Today's decisions do not reflect their talent or dedication. Our business today is not healthy. We are operating at margins that are 3–10x lower than comparable platform and publishing businesses. We entered Gen 9 with a smaller install base and a higher cost structure. To grow, we bet on Game Pass, multi-platform, and a broader portfolio of content. While those businesses have created meaningful value, they did not grow at the pace we expected. As that happened, our core business weakened, and we added more teams, more investment, and more time, hoping for a better outcome. And now the industry is facing the most severe hardware crisis in its history. We must reset XBOX. First, we will reset our content portfolio. Since 2018, we have aggressively expanded our studio portfolio while the number of games created each month across the industry now outpaces the last ten years combined. We now find ourselves competing not only with the largest publishers, but also with smaller independent studios. It is neither possible nor desirable to own every great independent studio. We have also learned that we are not the best home for every type of studio; in a typical year, we lost 64 cents for every dollar we invested. As we reset XBOX, we will help independent creators succeed by providing open development tools and audiences to realize their vision. Compulsion Games and Double Fine Productions will return to management and transition to independent studios with their IP, catalog, and runway for their next games. Ninja Theory and Undead Labs have entered terms to join new ownership with funding to complete and grow Senua and State of Decay 3. In France, Arkane’s management is beginning required consultation with its Works Council to review potential strategic options. We are also making reductions across other units, and in some cases, shifting investment to focus on higher priority projects. These changes vary in size across Activision, Bethesda/ZeniMax, Blizzard, King, Mojang, and XBOX Game Studios. None of our first party publicly announced games or projects are being cancelled as part of these reductions. In addition, Mojang and King will now report directly to me. These two studios have increasingly become platforms and are our largest by monthly active players. They bring critical geographic, demographic, and differentiation to XBOX. Second, we will reset our platform. We know that great technology gets better when it gets simpler, not bigger. Today, in some parts of the company, work passes through as many as 14 layers of management. Our platform teams are 40% larger than they were at the start of this generation, even as our player base and playtime have declined. That complexity has slowed decisions, blurred accountability, and made it harder to deliver for players. As we reset XBOX, we will simplify. We will reduce management layers to no more than 5, and where possible, 3. We will deliver success through a flatter organization that is built around makers (individual contributors focused on building), player-coaches (leaders who remain deeply involved in the work while developing their teams), and directly responsible individuals (DRIs) who own key decisions and outcomes. And we will streamline how we work across our tools, with a cleaner code base, shared services, and 50% reduced vendor spend. Third, we are resetting how we operate. As XBOX grew our headcount, we became more fragmented. Teams, studios, and functions often operate independently, and it became harder to work towards a shared goal, make the right tradeoffs, and get things done. For the first time, we are establishing a Chief Operating Officer with end-to-end P&L responsibility across content, hardware, platform, and services. Helen Chiang has been promoted to this role and will report directly to me. Over nearly two decades at XBOX, Helen has helped build some of our most important businesses, from XBOX Live to leading Mojang and the Minecraft franchise. She will bring our businesses together under one operating model, making sure we make clear investment decisions, learn from our successes and failures, and hold ourselves accountable for results. Thank you, Dave McCarthy, who is retiring after 17 years with XBOX. Dave has played a defining role in building the platform that millions of players rely on every day and has been a trusted partner through many of the biggest moments in XBOX's history. We wish him all the best. These changes are about a bigger future for XBOX, not a smaller one. The next decade of gaming will be larger, more global, and more creative than anything we've seen before. This year, we'll invest as much in XBOX as we ever have, but we'll invest with greater focus, greater discipline, and greater clarity, all in service of making XBOX where the world plays and creates. I want XBOX to be one of the few companies that entertains more than a billion people each day and gives everyone the opportunity to create and connect. I know we can achieve this goal. XBOX has many of the most beloved franchises in entertainment history, talented studios around the world, and we will return to growth in 2027. History is full of companies that mistake longevity for inevitability. We will not be one of them. Asha

@AndrewKSchlecht So bad penalties come starting your 3rd consecutive year in the second apron. If that’s true it would make sense to get out of it this year, then years 27-29 be in the second apron. Before that 3rd year the NBAPA could possibly make changes to that rule in the 29’ offseason.
