@ThatAmbG @asha_shar @joshmunsee lol, then I don’t think you understand why she had to take COD out of Game Pass to begin with

@asha_shar @joshmunsee Now to make COD timed exclusive and watch how the competition will respond.

Game Pass Ultimate has become too expensive for too many players. Starting today, we’re dropping the price from $29.99 to $22.99/month. Future Call of Duty titles will no longer join Game Pass Ultimate on day one. They will join this tier the following holiday after launch (about a year later). Current Call of Duty titles will remain available to Ultimate subscribers. We’ll keep learning and evolving Game Pass to better match what matters to players. xbx.lv/4cWO9hR

@DrClownPhD Too woke

Is this a good cast for a live-action Street Fighter movie? 👀

@anishmoonka There is a lot of bs. For starters, buying Firewalk was Shu’s idea.

Sony spent up to $400 million making a single video game. It sold 25,000 copies in 14 days before Sony pulled it from sale. Cost per copy sold: about $16,000. The studio shut down two months later. The executive who warned them had already been fired for saying no. The game was Concord. The executive was Shuhei Yoshida, who ran Sony's in-house game studios for 11 years and helped ship some of the biggest PlayStation hits ever: God of War, The Last of Us, Uncharted, Ghost of Tsushima. These are games you buy once and finish. Sony made billions on that model. Spider-Man alone generated $315 million in digital sales. The Last of Us 2 pulled nearly $250 million. God of War Ragnarok sold 15 million copies, with $279 million from digital downloads alone. Then in 2019, a new CEO took over PlayStation. Jim Ryan wanted Sony's studios to stop making those kinds of games and chase a different model: live service. Live service is Fortnite's model: games designed to keep you playing and paying forever, earning money through endless small purchases instead of one-time sales. Ryan told his team to ship 12 of these by 2025. Yoshida refused. Ryan removed him from running the studios and gave him a choice: take a smaller role working with indie developers or leave the company. Yoshida took the role and stayed at Sony for another six years. At an industry event in Australia last weekend, he finally said plainly that Ryan fired him from running the studios for refusing to do the 'ridiculous things' Ryan had demanded. Of those 12 live service games, 8 were cancelled before they ever came out. Naughty Dog killed a Last of Us multiplayer game in late 2023. Bend Studio's sci-fi game died in January 2025. Twisted Metal and a London fantasy game were both scrapped in early 2024, and the London studio was closed. Insomniac's Spider-Man multiplayer was abandoned. A God of War live service game was cancelled, then the studio making it (Bluepoint) was shut down this past February. A Destiny spin-off was scrapped. Deviation Games, a studio Sony had partnered with, was shut down before shipping anything. Only one of the 12 actually worked. Helldivers 2 was a big hit. But the studio that made it, Arrowhead, isn't owned by Sony, and they've already said they won't partner with Sony on their next game. The total damage under Ryan: $3.7 billion spent buying Bungie (the studio behind Destiny), up to $400 million written off on Concord, and roughly 1,500 jobs lost across studios that got shut down. The PS5 generation is now short on the kind of games that built PlayStation in the first place. Yoshida was pushed out in 2019 for saying no to one strategy. Five years and a few billion dollars later, Sony's current CEO says the new plan is to 'fail early and fail cheaply.'

@OocTobeyM For the real OGs, he did God of War games (1 and 2 I think) too!

Disney just fired the man who designed the visual identity of the entire MCU. 16 years. $30 billion at the box office. And they replaced him with freelancers. I’m going to put all of Andy Park’s contributions in the comments so you realize who this man actually is.

@GigglingGanon Cops should write a book about how to escalate a situation, they really good at it.

Police in Columbus Ohio mess up bad when they arrested a real ATF agent. This one of those videos that really make local PD look bad. The first officer arrived on the scene and immediately drew his firearm and started demanding the ATF officer to get on the ground. Never gave him a chance to show his credentials, treated him like a criminal with zero chance to prove his innocence. clearly in the video it is seen he had his hands up with his paperwork in his hand. There was no need to demand on the ground and not give him a chance to identify himself. They arrested him, put him in the back of a squad car and continued to mock him until they made contact with his supervisor. This ended in a huge lawsuit that cost the tax payers of Columbus 1.6 million dollars over two incompetent cops that believe or not as of 2025 are still on the force doing God knows what other damage.

@GameOverThirty He ran Bethesda better than Microsoft did 🤷🏻‍♂️

I'll be honest, I'm not sure Pete Hines was all that great, or terrible, for Bethesda. He did what he did and then exited after the acquisition. Hell, before the acquisitions, Sony kept buying up Bethesda exclusivity. Hines was part of all that. But, I can tell you what I wouldn't do. I wouldn't criticize my former employer, in public, for **operational** disagreements. Sort of surprising as well, considering he's been in the industry for significant period of time. Burning bridges. The standard procedure in the 2020s.

@mooreslawisdead @MeyerRants @Crazed_Lfc @xMBGx PS3 started at $599, sounds like it was half the price at the end of its life.

I feel the need to remind people of the state of the PS3 in 2012, 1 year before the PS4 launched: -500GB model was STILL $300 -USB & SD Ports REMOVED -Backwards Compatibility REMOVED -Disc Drive was Cheap and manual to open -The CPU had 2, and the GPU 3, major die shrinks The PS3 by PS4 was a husk of its former self, and that's why it was cheaper...and yet the PS4 was only $100 more a year later. Meanwhile the PS5 is basically the same device with no features removed since 2020, and it's only had a single die shrink.

Hardware leaker MLID doubles down on the PS6 being cheaper than the PS5 Pro. He says from the ground up the PS6 & Handheld were designed to be cheap to produce. Cheaper than the PS5 & PS5 Pro. With much cheaper cooling & power supplies. If Sony were to release a home console SKU with the Handheld, it would be cheaper than the base PS5.

@shelbysaidthat @GPAIndiana That says more about you than anything

@GPAIndiana Great show. But all the women characters were annoying to me

“Landman” She’s the gift that no one would want to receive 😂

@xMBGx People forget PC and Switch 2 exists or something? Sure Xbox was the most direct competitor but if PS6 is too expensive it falls into PC territory and then if it’s too cheap it’ll fall into Switch 2 territory. Not to mention Steam machine will be in there somewhere

Hardware leaker KeplerL2 reveals the current cost to manufacture a PS6 is $760. He says Sony could aim for a $700 price point if they are willing to subsidize it, but is unsure if they will due to Xbox not being a direct competitor anymore.

@PlayStation That’s a big price increase, wtf!? PS5 Pro $900? Are you guys trying to save the Xbox?

Important price update for PS5 and PlayStation Portal: play.st/47LYrP9

@NextGenPlayer Marathon is a marathon, Destiny 2 has such a tough launch ATVI killed their deal together.

Marathon reportedly sells 1.2M units Platform split: ⚫️ Steam - 800k (70%) 🔵 PS5 - 217K (19%) 🟢 Xbox - 133K (11%) That’s a gross revenue of $55 million ▶️ alineaanalytics.substack.com/p/marathon-has…

@allenanalysis Illuminati is real, they just go by a different name: Israel

Gavin Newsom just clarified: “I’m a proud Zionist. I revere Israel.” He also says he regrets calling Israel an “apartheid state” — claiming he meant Netanyahu’s leadership, not the country itself. From “apartheid state” to “revere Israel” That’s a major reversal.

@alifarhat79 I'm laughing but also find myself feeling guilty when innocent people are suffering and dying out there

Lmaoooooo I’m crying

@FearedBuck Can’t believe they both would put the kid in danger. The lady for all the chair throwing but also the guy for walking such that the kid would be in between them, it’s almost like he was using the kid as a shield.

ABC has canceled The Bachelorette after their lead was seen in a leaked footage physically attacking her ex-boyfriend and throwing metal chairs at him while her child was present and reportedly the child was struck during the altercation.

I'm a vibe coder, scare me with one word.

@vivoplt AI, answer is always AI

Interviewer: Your API works perfectly with 1K users. It falls apart at 100K. You can't change the infrastructure. What would you use to fix it?

@FinFreedom414 Option B gives you a purpose in life and something to live for. Option A will get boring real quick. Option B is the only option.

Imagine you had to choose your life at age 40: Option A: Single. No kids. $10M net worth. Travel anywhere. Total freedom. Quiet house. Quiet holidays. Option B: Married. 3 kids. $1M net worth. Drive a Toyota. Chaos every morning. Loud house. Full dinner table. Be honest, which life are you choosing?
