For those wondering why PC gaming on Linux is the best both all worlds here’s probably the best example that could ever exist.

Become Ungovernable Machete Penguin

Thanks Sony, you really showed Sony Playstation fans why either self-building a gaming PC or buying a SteamCube is the way to go.

For PS5 Owners

Please don’t lose hope and despair as jailbreaks are still possible💪:

You may however; not want to procrastinate and delay jailbreaking because the currently known processes will inevitably be patched out and future JB steps might become more complex than its current form.

Would you rather fight the Radroach now or fight it after it becomes a Deathclaw? Your choice🤷‍♀️.

Anyways I hope this is useful to you guys🙌 cause I personally find the anti-consumer enshitification behavior from companies as really juvenile and barbaric🖕.

For Sony

Sony please reconsider this.
Sacrificing your consumer base for your investors and stakeholders is LITERALLY how you get a repeat of: Killing of Brian Thompson Free entertainment for the general populace, needless tragedy for no reason unless you have a fetish for getting killed🤷‍♂️
you do you I guess.

Honestly, do you want someone to break into your home and assassinate you in bed? Cause shit like this is how you can piss someone off enough to motivate them to do this. I’m not even a PS5 owner and this pisses me off.

Waking up everyday to see new shit like this is tiring as it feels like an endless fight against the irrationality that these corpos dump onto anyone that isn’t a fucking billionaire. I hate to say it but this type of corporate backseating on ownership of people’s devices might eventually create riots.

    Likening Sony’s latest crappy video game DRM to the abhorrent cruelty of the US medical insurance system is kind of distasteful IMO. There are no lives at risk here, just angry gamers.

      I’m saving for a house and I worked hard to get my credit to 750. In January, someone took my information, presumably leaked in one of many hacks, and opened a credit card in my name, and promptly ran up a bill. This affected my credit, led to legal expenses, and requires me to keep my credit locked, until I want to take out a loan, pray that the same thing doesn’t happen while my credit is unlocked, then re-lock my credit after securing the loan. Being forced to verify my identity to play video games, and expose myself to more risk of identity theft is absolutely fucking bonkers. I’m so glad I jumped off the console bandwagon after the PS2 generation. If this makes it’s way to steam, GOG, or any other PC platform, I still have my ps1, 2, xbox, nes, snes, and GB advance.

      This isn’t about protecting children online, this is about governments deciding who gets to access a computer, which is access to knowledge and services.

      The problem is that there’s a limit to what people are willing to take, and the ruling class seems keen on pushing us past it.

      This also isn’t an issue limited to gamers. Businesses everywhere are forcing digital IDs on us because the world is run by a handful of families that want to monitor and control our every move.
