So the psn was down last night apparently and hilariously enough you apparently can't use the ps5Pro's disc drive peripheral if the psn is down for whatever reason so in hilarious fashion people who had physical copies of their games were locked out of their collection.


I always knew going for a console without a disc drive was a bad idea but this takes the cake.

PlayStation Network is still down and Sony doesn’t have an answer yet

PlayStation owners are frustrated, but Sony is silent

I blame the Sony PSN server down on the political party I hate the most in order to further my own sociopolitical agendas.

Either that, or it was a Russian/Chinese spy.

They never seem to care about sharing details on these things. I wouldn’t be surprised if some hacker(s) is fed up with the latest Bloodborne thing.

Wendigo Blue is out on Early Access now!

So everyone with a ps+ subscription is getting an extra 5 days to compensate for the outage. Better than nothing I guess.

Valve Seemingly Bans All Steam Games That Require Watching Advertisements To Play

Valve has introduced new rules that ban games that require players to watch advertisements in order to play.

I gotta ask; How many games on Steam actually does this? Last game I remember doing this was UFC 4 by EA in 2020, and they had to remove the in-game ad after the backlash

Now if only they can do something about all the AI/asset flip shovel ware that's plaguing the entire Steam Catalogue, we might get somewhere.

An anecdote I got to hear today from a person employed by Arbetsförmedlingen (The Swedish Public Employment Service). She handles people seeking employment and from what she told a lot of people previously working in the games industry are now seeking work (she said something about how it was projected to be a safer line of work) and a lot have gone into AI.

Just thought I'd share.
