So, it turns out all the drama and big changes happening lately might just be down to one person calling the shots. And it’s definitely not Phil Spencer, which is… interesting, to say the least. As a gamer, I’m just trying to figure out who’s really pulling the strings here!
During an early October podcast on the Skill Up channel, Shuhei Yoshida discussed Sony’s plans for its next console, the PlayStation 6. While Sony hasn’t officially announced the PS6, Yoshida, a former head of the PlayStation brand, explained that Hideaki Nishino, PlayStation’s general manager, will need a strong vision for how it will improve upon the PS5. Simply having better graphics isn’t enough, as the visual differences are becoming increasingly difficult to see.
Okay, so this is wild. Reddit just filed a lawsuit against Perplexity, Oxylabs UAB, AWMProxy, and SerpApi in federal court here in New York. Apparently, Perplexity is actually a customer of SerpApi. Basically, Reddit is saying these companies were scraping data from their platform without permission, and they’re laying out all the details in their official statement.

Amazon’s 3-film Stanley Kubrick collection has already sold out quickly this week, and it’s easy to see why – at just $24.49, it’s the lowest price we’ve found. Amazon expects to deliver these in mid-November. If you’re hoping to watch The Shining this Halloween, you can get the 4K Kubrick Collection for $25 from Gruv, which sells through Amazon. Prime members still get free shipping! Keep in mind that if the Amazon deal sells out again, the Gruv offer probably will too.
Steam wishlists are a valuable resource for video game developers. While not foolproof, they give developers an idea of how much interest there is in their game. A high number of wishlists can also help studios attract funding or find a publisher. Essentially, the more people who wishlist a game, the better, as Steam automatically notifies them when the game launches, a demo is available, or it goes on sale. That’s why many trailers, particularly for games made by smaller teams, end with a request to add the game to your wishlist – it’s a simple and effective way to support indie developers.
