About the recent acquisition talks of Paramount Global

Status Post #11018: I rather want Skydance to acquire them instead of Sony because number one, if Sony buys Paramount, then chunks of the company could potentially be sold off like Nickelodeon, MTV, Paramount+, CBS etc, number two, I still don't think they were the right company to buy Crunchyroll from Warner Bros. Discovery, given that it led to the Funimation streaming service to shut down and number three, they just need to give up hope on their Spider-Man shared universe and give the rights back to Marvel. Heck, I would've wanted Legendary Entertainment to buy Warner Media than merging with Discovery that caused this mess under David Zaslav.

Buying Digital Media a Scam? It is for PlayStation Users.

Have you ever heard the phrase “caveat emptor?”  It’s Latin for “let the buyer beware.”  It’s the buyer’s responsibility alone to check the quality and sustainability of the item they have purchased. (Oxford Languages Dictionary, n.d.)  This has burned many a person in the digital age we live in. And Sony and PlayStation have now used that very concept to swindle millions of people who purchased…

Crunchyroll’s awful anti consumer practices are made even worse when you realize that they have a stranglehold on anime distribution in the west.

Sure, Sentai Frameworks is still around, but their catalogue of shows pales in comparison to Chruchyroll’s.

It’s kinda insane how many shows CR licenses each season, seriously half of the shows I watched last year were licensed by CR.

As one would expect, because CR ends up licensing out a bunch of shows each season, they start to get lazy when it comes to the localization.

They have just straight up given up when it came to translating signs and episode titles in certain shows.

And because they’re notoriously anti union, all their English dubs feature the same actors from the Dallas area. Which becomes a huge problem with they end up licensing a show that was previously dubbed by a union studio.

Looking at you Mob Psycho 100 Season 3.

Pretty wild how a shitty company like CR managed to conquer the anime market in the west.

Even during the height of their popularity, Funimation didn’t license as many shows as CR. Though to be fair, anime was still pretty niche in the 2000’s and early 2010’s.

But still, the fact that CR doesn’t have that many competitors in the anime market is pretty concerning. As they will continue to double down on their shitty business practices.

Well, I did it again gamers. I stayed up like an hour and a half later than I intended typing a Twitter thread that's way to long, but I'm gonna post it here in screen shots cause I don't wanna stay up another 30 minutes retyping it!!

Every time the MLP Movie comes up in any context I turn into that Guy At A Party meme “They don’t know DHX walked away from Sony Pictures’ big-money distribution offer so they could preserve the integrity of the series and keep not only the showrunner writing the script but also keep all of the show voice actors on and Daniel Ingram writing the songs, in addition to fighting for the film to remain 2D animated. This cost them an almost-guaranteed comfortable box office success making the Smurfs Movie clone that Sony demanded, instead producing a flawed but beautiful animated movie made by people who cared”

Context: the studio that made Hi-Fi Rush, Ghostwire Tokyo, & The Evil Within (Tango Gameworks) got shut down by Microsoft.

What I am saying is from the perspective of someone raised in the U.S. I’m unaware of what this is like in most other countries and I will be primarily talking about AA & AAA games: the indie scene is thriving

Sucks that we live in a society that discourages passion, creativity, & art unless it directly contributes to lining the pockets of billionaires: this is especially evident when you look at how corporations treat their employees & IPs, work culture, and the U.S education system. There are absolutely amazing games & IPs that are left in the past because they didn’t give the people on top as much money as they hoped for or there are more profitable options, so instead we get an over saturated market generally made for fans of popular IPs, shooters, and action adventure games because those sell the best. This is why a lot of Nintendo’s, Sony’s, and Microsoft’s older IPs never get used anymore: this is why we keep getting the same games, but with a new gimmick and shinier coat of paint. I love shooters and action adventure games, but we need more games that are unique and/or of less popular genres that stick around. Insomniac for example has made great games that are full of creativity and passion such as Sunset Overdrive & Spyro, but now they’re not much more than a glorified Marvel games studio: their new games are good, but it’s all stuff we’ve seen numerous times. We still do get great, soulful games that aren’t left to the sands of time, but there have been less of them as it moves on.

Look at how normies are rewarding corporate greed and hurting gaming. PS5 Pro disc drive is selling on Amazon like hotcakes. 3 days ago it was number TEN in most sold. People are rewarding Sony for their anti-consumerism when they could just get literally any other console, or even a regular vanilla PS5. Sony is profiting off a bad move, so now they will continue to make bad moves. Thanks for nothing, all of you fake-ass gamers.

I tried Horizon Zero Dawn a couple years ago and gave up on it because I found the combat pretty frustrating. I was thinking of giving it another try sometime on my steam deck to see if I like it better there, but Sony apparently made the very consumer friendly move (sarcasm) of delisting the original version to make room for the unnecessary remaster. And I don't think I'll ever buy it now because 1, screw paying that much money for a 7 year old game that was frequently going on sale for $12,and 2, who knows how well it'll run on steam deck compared to the original
