Everybody should run to see Wildwood in theaters. It is an incredible film and highly impressive in technical achievement on top of that. Honestly I don't think I've ever seen a movie do practical effects work at this level and it may never happen again.

I agree with ALL of this

Ah man this looked good too. Really sucks that it won't be happening now.

Currently premiering my newly remade movie edit of Assassin's Creed 3 youtu.be/nxA4FDX-y1Y?...

Wait, why are they doing a Lego PlayStation? It seems to be a physical object. That doesn't align with their current approach. Should be digital legos only.

Another! Digital Foundry's John Linneman heard from many devs and "publisher people" directly that they are upset with Sony: "The industry side of things is not positive right now about what's happening [...] a lot of resentment for what Sony has done [...]."

This is shocking. She was everywhere when I was a kid. She was amazing in Kingdom Hearts, Heroes, Scream. Fuck. She was so young.

What is the difference between "download" and "install"? Our latest video shows how physical games work when released properly: youtu.be/61m1e4Jjick Thankfully, the vast majority of all gaming companies knows how to release games in this state. To all the others, do better!

When you don't skew the numbers with revenue instead of copies sold, or include digital only games, DLC, mtx, etc, people generally prefer physical when given a choice. This is going to hurt Sony a lot more than they think. Some exec is focusing on revenue with no nuance on what the numbers mean.

I'm going to be going live with Black Flag Resynced here: youtube.com/live/Dw7f6Wa...

The PnP Games petition to show Sony our disgust for them killing ownership has now blasted past 200.000 signatures. Can't remember whether the Stop Destroying Video Games ECI at its peak even grew at that rate. KEEP IT UP!

You can't make this shit up.

Everybody talks about the digital-physical split and how Sony "justifies" the death of physical media on PlayStation. So we wrote a piece about how astroturfing through statistics works in this industry:

Many of you see piracy as the only way for game preservation. But the ESA already labels legal solutions envisioned by SKG as illegal. They will triple down and the battle for preservation might descend into all out eternal war between corpos and players. We need that legal base!

This is a grim moment for the gaming community. Sony PlayStation announced today that it will cease all physical games production in 2028. This will essentially erase legal game preservation and ownership on their platform. The ESA lied to lawmakers to bring down the POG Act ...

PlayStation in 2026

Imagine the sales pitch Sony PlayStation 6 Digital only, $1000, no more backwards compatibility with your old discs, ultra lengthy cross-gen period, slow first-party release cadence...what a steal! Is this some sort of challenge? Anger your fanbase as much as possible and see what you can sell?

Sony ends physical production in 2028. The bomb we hoped they were smart enough to never trigger. Discoverability, dead. Ownership, dead. Legal preservation, dead. Micro publishers, dead. A billion $ market, and they just throw it away.

My Red Dead Redemption 1 movie edit will be premiering this Sunday at 11AM eastern time. Join me for the live premiere :) youtu.be/M-PVA2uBu10

The wait is over! Our video content production has finally resumed with a new format: HOW PHYSICAL MEDIA WORKS Since many people still believe everything needs to be downloaded, we kick things off with a demo for offline firmware updates via disc: youtu.be/bBVhsLglz9s

This week someone targeted my family for harm with a false report. We’re physically OK, but that doesn’t mean we weren’t harmed. I am beyond furious. Whatever your politics, this is awful, wrong, and can never become normal.

As storage and RAM prices skyrocket and make powerful PCs and consoles feel increasingly out of reach, there's only one real option: Everyone go back to 2D

What's happening now is a perfect lecture in media literacy. More and more social posts from different outlets appear talking about a rumored physical release for GTA in December. What looks like confirmation through many sources is just many outlets citing the same rumor.

“You can’t afford things anymore because of AI” in effect once again. Microsoft is even one of the companies to blame - and it’s hurting their own product.

Disturbing GTA VI news just dropped. Rockstar seemingly confirmed that the potentially biggest entertainment release of the year will be treated as a throwaway consumable. Rockstar Newswire mentions a download code in the box. NO PHYSICAL RELEASE!

That...is crazy. I understand needing two accounts, as most games do that these days, but requiring two active PS Plus accounts is something I don't think any other game has ever done when it comes to local multiplayer. That's really bad.

is there a forced gay agenda in your entertainment media or is it just that the gay kids you bullied in school for being gay and artsy inevitably ended up working in the arts with a bunch of other queer people, women, and progressives while you got a job as a deep sea fisherman, terry?

The whiplash this past week regarding everything Xbox is among the most extreme I can recall seeing in the games industry. Going from a hopeful, exciting showcase to the worst possible news. The absurdity of all this is staggering. :(

I'm currently working on a movie edit of the first #RedDeadRedemption game, and it's going to be coming out on July 5th on my youtube channel www.youtube.com/AndyGilleand

There's a kind of whiplash of watching and enjoying something like SGF only to wake up the next day and see people complaining about any and everything as usual. The discourse around games is really sad to see at this point. So many people seem unable to just...enjoy anything. Feels bad.

Hey #AssassinsCreed fans, they just posted a very interesting comment on a Facebook post 👀

@criticker.com when I filter my ratings by filmmaker in database view, it shows everything they've been in as director, actor, or writer. Is there a way to filter that down further by role? I mean I know if I go to their full page it breaks it down but I like to screenshot database view to post.

ICE knows it's acting illegally and without authority to arrest in thousands of cases. The court records demonstrate this. It must stop. Now.

The election of Donald Trump is going to go down as one of the most disastrous, calamitous own goals by a nation in the history of humanity. We’re really speedrunning through the consequences at this point.

The First Amendment is clear: The federal government can't punish media organizations just because it doesn't like what they have to say. By fighting back, ABC is sending an important message: Our rights are worth fighting for.
