Amazon should be able to strangle Gaggl in the crib by giving licenses for prime originals to Twitch. Doing it with the Fallout show would have been a no brainer.

Well, Sony has backtracked on the Helldivers PSN account linking.

Personally, I thought this whole thing was really dumb. For almost 20 years people have been making PSN accounts in different regions to access different versions of the store and Sony has never made a big issue out of it. People don't get banned for it unless they were doing something else illegal on top of it and drawing attention to themselves. All people in unsupported regions had to do was make an account in the nearest available region and then forget about it. Was it against TOS? Yeah, technically, but 1) Sony has never taken action against that sort of thing, and 2) gamers acting like the TOS is some sacred document (and not full of CYA legalese) that they don't regularly violate for innocent (and less innocent) reasons was eyeroll-worthy.

I feel bad for Arrowhead for being an innocent participant unwillingly caught in that drama storm, but this was such a nontroversy.

The Dave and Busters gambling thing is some dystopian shit, in this humble reader's opinion.
