This week, Ricky (of Press X to Win fame) ascends to our shimmering, trophy-laden temple of Olympian gamers, and Tricky proves that you can spend too much money on collectibles and action figures. You can drop two Benjamin Franklins on Power Rangers memerobilia — but only if you buy the flute-dagger — the real flute-dagger — with which Tommy summoned the Dragonzord. For those with cash to burn, I suggest buying a toaster that looks like the Dragonzord — or Tor. Tor was cool, too.
Join our motley crew of Olympian slaying ne’er-do-wells, as we discuss, among other things, Pop! figures, God of War: Ascension, PlayStation Plus freebies and Power Rangers.

Sony has recruited Bungie's head of revenue Jaremy Rich to head up its live-service gaming division, Rich has announced on social media.
Please do not put Destiny’s monetization into Sony’s first party games. The monetization is what’s driving players away from Destiny.
I mean, this person made some pretty bad decisions at Bungie. I hope they've learned from them because I definitely don't see those type of ideas as good for PlaySation in general.
Ps5 gamers in 2023 seemed to play more live service types of games, so regardless to how people feel about them, numbers don’t lie and Sony is going where the money is. I mean look at the excitement around Helldivers2, people are showing that they want live service games.
How do you kill a franchise that already been killed?
Destiny’s grind, cash-in-on-playbass-cha-Ching, and pop-culture-insertion mainstream-me-too bs totally killed any rep Bungie had. Sony/Bungie, if you are doing this to ward-off players, it’s already working.
Sony has patented to add multiple dialogue modes to let players switch between how many conversations with NPCs they want in the game.
Sony is like the only ones outta the 3 that has atuff like like this pop up changing thing in ways.
Genuine Enabling Technology was seeking damages, claiming the tech allowing PlayStation consoles and controllers to communicate infringes its rights.
Sounds like patent trolling they tried the same thing against Nintendo with the same pattern.
Motion and control input traversing over higher and lower frequencies seperate from each other allowing the controller to do both
So to recoup the money Genuine is going to take on Nintendo or Microsoft next. I hate patent lawyers they are some of the worst bottom feeders out there.
