Ain't that some bullshit

[Gokulo]

This is a great game, pretty cheap and you only require one copy to play with others. Really sucks to see them get hit like that

PlayStation 4 Jailbroken, Exploit May Work On PS5 Too

December 13, 2021 may go down in history as the day the PlayStation 4 finally got blown wide open, as a trio of console hackers just released a new, ready-to-run kernel exploit for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 4 Pro that works on firmware version 9.00 and earlier. In other words, running homebrew apps and unauthorized copies of games just became feasible for a very significant chunk of PS4 owners.

The jailbreak, dubbed “pOOBs4,” is credited to PlayStation scene hackers/developers SpecterDev, ChendoChap, and Znullptr, with thanks given to Sleirsgoevy for their webkit browser exploit and (famous PlayStation hacking god) TheFloW for discovering the actual filesystem bug that allows this exploit to work. The jailbreak requires network access and a USB key containing a special file. After it runs, the console is free to receive a payload from a PC, such as the Mira Project custom firmware or the GoldHEN homebrew enabler.

Yeah, this to me almost immediately felt like a copout.

Digital E3 probably much cheaper to produce and put on every year. Moreso with the Big 3 leaning more and more to doing their own thing with directs. Revenue with a lot of smaller outfits is more restricted, so they're choosing an easier route going forward and wanted another year to ease that foot into the warm bath.

I don't think I've ever clicked on this thread before, but for some reason I felt compelled to just now.

Maybe there is a God.

I really hope that one on the top left isn't doing that wall kick shit from 5. Is it too much to ask to fly a giant robot in the giant flying robot sim?

According to the Wsj Microsoft is close to buy Activision Blizzard for more than…$50BN.

Bloomberg says $70bn

[Ker]

I don't actually like any Actiblizzard games beside crash 4 but holy shit is Sony in trouble now. Losing Bethesda and ActiBlizz back to back leaves them with no major FPS titles other than Battlefield. So now Sony will end up buying other Publishers, and then MS will too. What stupidity to reduce the gaming industry.

[Mayareira]

Well, that was quick. Deal confirmed by Microsoft. $68.7BN.
