Video Game Preservation Museum

@Dariusaurus @CityPolice @SEGA 2019.

A separate application has been filed against @CityPolice regarding the unlawful seizure and retention of my consoles. Still think this is going away eh @SEGA

@GrapheneOS @willbeonekenobi @WatarmelonTrade @Apple @AppleSupport @Authy @eBay_UK This is on a Pixel7 too, which is the odd thing.

@GrapheneOS @willbeonekenobi @WatarmelonTrade @Apple @AppleSupport @Authy @eBay_UK I get this direct from the PlayStore.

Good news everyone! If you updated to iOS 26.4 and decide to downgrade, to 26.3.1 because it won't accept your ID, you're stuffed.. unless you have an older backup from earlier! Thank you so much @Apple @AppleSupport for wrecking my phone with your stupid obeying of draconian and invasive UK laws, and costing us 200+GB of data. I've personally used Apple products since 2011, and today is my last day. Good news is @GrapheneOS is ready to go.

@GrapheneOS @willbeonekenobi @WatarmelonTrade @Apple @AppleSupport @Authy @eBay_UK Honestly why I hate "cloud" forced junk personally. If it's not local, on my device it's trash and will be compromised sooner or latter.

@VGPMuseum @willbeonekenobi @WatarmelonTrade @Apple @AppleSupport @Authy @eBay_UK Authy had a major compromise of their services and subsequently banned using anything other than iOS or Google Mobile Services Android as performative security. Authy banning GrapheneOS means they're disallowing using far more secure devices and there's no legitimate reason.

@GrapheneOS @willbeonekenobi @WatarmelonTrade @Apple @AppleSupport We installed GrapheneOS on a Pixel7 other night, aside from @Authy @eBay_UK not working, we've had zero complaints about the move. Aside from the fact @Apple sucks🤣

@willbeonekenobi @WatarmelonTrade @VGPMuseum @Apple @AppleSupport It's not the case that the results of audits are published as a matter of course as claimed above. They're almost entirely kept private. The exception are products trying to market themselves by presenting a shallow audit of the code as meaning it doesn't have vulnerabilities.

@Dariusaurus @SEGA Poor Sega 😭

Major update on the @SEGA lawsuit. As nobody acknowledged service of a sealed Human Rights Lawsuit with High Court, application has been made for default judgement against Sega for liability in the violation of my Art 8, Art 5 Art1P1 Human rights. Unbelievable mess they are in.

@StopForumSpam @PascalAmpertail @Apple @AppleSupport If I had the option I'd pack up and flee. In other news: x.com/VGPMuseum/stat… incase helpful for others.

@VGPMuseum @PascalAmpertail @Apple @AppleSupport This is why I closed my business and left the UK, authoritarian shit like this

Update, downgrading to iOS26.3.1 and back to 26.4 and restoring data seems to fix the missing ID option bug. Apparently I'm 18+ phew! only found out 18 years late! Now I just have to wait for Apple to get hacked and my personal information leaked. thanks @Keir_Starmer !

@Apple thanks for lying about "iOS 26.4" not having Age Verification and it was a "mistake". Apparently you forgot to add the ID option too, as it goes straight to credit card with no option for ID. Our two iPhone's will be headed to @Cex tomorrow. We're going to @GrapheneOS.

@StopForumSpam @PascalAmpertail @Apple @AppleSupport @dshensmith what do you think? While iOS does say "ID" as an option, it simply gives no option and demands a credit card.

@VGPMuseum @PascalAmpertail @Apple @AppleSupport Apple have semi bricked your phone, you should be starting a class action

@StopForumSpam @PascalAmpertail @Apple @AppleSupport I'm sure it'll be mandatory phone seizure upon arrival this stage. Or some built in gps check, pretty sure the jailbreaking community's going to grow as a result.

@VGPMuseum @PascalAmpertail @Apple @AppleSupport It will be interesting to see what happens if an American, for example, roams to the UK

@StopForumSpam @PascalAmpertail @Apple @AppleSupport Brutal and damn honest 🤣

@VGPMuseum @PascalAmpertail @Apple @AppleSupport Vote red, get fucked Vote blue, get fucked Its almost as if voting doesn’t change anything

@mdf200 @theSNP @ChrisLawSNP @Apple @UKLabour And it's bugged, you can't even use ID, or I couldn't on ours. And downgrading isn't possible without older backups/losing data.

What the actual fuck is this?!?!? These laws were never meant to block people from accessing the internet, and if you have a credit card in Apple Pay, you’ve already done this. @thesnp @ChrisLawSNP @Apple @UKLabour

@PascalAmpertail @Apple @AppleSupport It's beyond screwed. The UK needs to get a grip and fix what matters and not ruin everything.

@VGPMuseum @Apple @AppleSupport Ohboy anti rollback my favourite

I have an update on the lawsuit. No competent adults appear to be working at either Sega, Fusion85 or the Police. Next weeks filings will land like a ton of bricks as the reality of their terrible decisions over the last 14 days become apparent. I’m playing chess. They appear to be playing noughts and crosses.

They need to just own up to their failures. This all balls down to negligence, overreach and arrogance. Had they pulled their heads out their rear ends they could have just spoken and resolved it for all parties. You don’t get anywhere being stubborn or acting dumb. This whole situation has put me off sega games personally. But I still want to see sega do right and put things right.

How about this @SEGA You have one opportunity of a lifetime to turn this shit show you created in to a massive marketing PR win. You can either remain belligerent and slowly your entire global target market will turn against you. Or you do the right thing, tell your consumers you aren’t an evil corporation, mistakes were made, lessons were learned, show your core demographic that you do infact care about game preservation. This doesn’t need to be a war, but i’m happy either way.

HAHAHAHA. @SEGA Have you tried not being a totally evil corporation run by incompetent bullies that treat their own staff like garbage and frames everyone else for their mistakes? Wait till the human rights lawsuit becomes common knowledge.

@Lewis_D_White Sad to hear this, we had a ps3 test kit from videogamer used for press builds.

VideoGamer has been de-indexed by Google. A legacy UK games media site killed by ClickOut. I worked for VG pre-acquisition - we brought back original interviews, rose the domain back up. It was acquired, filled with gambling ads, ravaged by AI, and then killed.

@Dariusaurus @SEGA Having seen what this is about. It's confirmed so much.

I know now exactly why @SEGA has remained silent for the last 8 months. I was right about everything. Someone may be looking at prison time for what they have done to me. Remember. The truth ALWAYS comes out.
