    The ps5 debacle is a bigger problem, alongside the Stop Killing Games Initiative.

    Edit: SKG is a good thing*

    I hate to say it. But the general sentiment will lead to crackdowns on VPNs because they are the only thing between us and corperations for ownership.

    Legislatures are already trying to stop us from having privacy, but the corporate lobby tied to the privacy lobby is a deadly situation.

    I am lucky enough to have my media where i want it to be, but i am so nervous now that the general public is getting involved - i have a number of friends who would never have asked about this kind of stuff buying hardware.

    Im not really sure where that leaves us.

    But fucking god damnit. Im sad that it has gotten us here.

        Then they turn around and offer a subscription service for you to stream ROMs from their own software/hardware… you can’t make this shit up.

          And yet, people still download free ROMS. The ported games that aren’t available unless you pay extra is such a scam. Better off a wired 360 controller and Vimms Lair or a mayflash and a wii u pro controller.

      Well, you can also give up video games. Fuck those companies.
