The PlayStation division will see an increase of 25-30% over this current year’s budget for next year. They are funding roughly 35-40 games across India, China, and Japan alongside making their push into mobile for real. There is also major acquisitions incoming.

These are just a few of these type of comments from the past 24 hours. I would appreciate some thoughts. There has been significantly more hate in my comment section recently for me wearing a mask to remain at least a bit anonymous/ have some privacy. It is something I have always done, long before covid but people have been taking it very personally recently. So many automatically assume it's some political stance when it has never been that even going so far as to discredit every word in the video because of the misunderstanding. Some comments are quite disgusting. The weird part is that when I comment back and say "I just don't show my face, it's for privacy" the response is usually really nice. "Like- oh! Okay makes sense. Thanks!" Sometimes I have long time viewers comment and say it for me which is very nice and usually goes well, but it's gotten overwhelming recently. -It's an odd situation. I can't tell whether I should cave in or just ride it out. If I just keep doing it people will eventually put it together that I am doing it for anonymity (and always have) and not to make some weird political statement right? The comments do not bother me there's always been a few but after seeing so many recently it's made me question the whole thing. To be fair, this is me picking out the negative, the mass majority of my comments section is usually very constructive and positive but that also makes me automatically notice when there's a sharp uptick of negativity. I would have thought that it would be obvious that a guy alone in his house in VR wearing a mask is not for anything Covid related but people seem quite emotionally damaged by the Covid era and are repulsed by masks and people that wear them for any reason (americans mostly) Any thoughts/ recommendations? It's not a great feeling to have people love the video but turn hateful.
