Could you imagine, in 2019, Sony spent $1B on VR development instead of the $4B they spent on multiplayer games (not including Bungie).

Insomniac could have done Resistance.

The Vita 2nd party teams could have stayed.

SIE Japan and London would still be there.

PSVR2 would have been a success.
I think the 10% cut part here is pretty undstated. The Beat Saber team was absorbed into Meta a long time ago. They just closed the top 3 studios. I don't see how Meta has a future with VR in any capacity.
Meta has shuttered three VR studios following a 10% cut to its Reality Labs metaverse arm

Between Sony and Meta I think VR is dead.

Whoa Meta just closed their best VR Studios.

This was the question I raised with Andy McCabe on the latest UnJustified podcast: what gives Judge Engelmayer authority to enforce compliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act?

Some context: it took me almost a year and multiple applications to get a GS-5 ($34K annual salary) clerk job at the Department of Veterans Affairs. At the time, I had an MBA and a decade of management experience.
A few months ago, ICE hired me

I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable

And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!"

My latest for Slate
You’ve Heard About Who ICE Is Recruiting. The Truth Is Far Worse. I’m the Proof.
What happens when you do minimal screening before hiring agents, arming them, and sending them into the streets? We're all finding out.

At least we agree that the country is ruined.
While masked agents were violently attacking a delivery worker this morning, bystanders repeatedly asked to see their badge numbers but they refused.

Bystander: You guys are ruining this country, you know that, right?

Agent: Liberals already ruined it.

Zac Kinney shared this photo from the second of two ICE deportation flights at MSP today - one of the 47 deportees was still in their Amazon uniform.

(I counted 127 deportees on the first flight)

The reckoning is upon us: house republicans are having to abandon Trump because they have to get reelected.
Breaking on MS NOW: The House just PASSED Democrats' discharge petition for a three year extension on enhanced Obamacare subsidies, 230-196.

17 Republicans voted with Democrats.

AOC has said: “It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month... It’s about oil and regime change."

Theres going to be a direct sometime between mid-January to mid-February for sure.

Tried to fire up PSVR2 today, NG. A Playstation featured game, Pools launches into the game files and folders then crashes. The other big featured game from last year Metro, gets stuck at the EULA.

Feels like everyone is checked out on PSVR2 @playstation.com @tensori.fi @vertigo-games.bsky.social

I know nobody is in the mood right now but, within an hour of the Saudi deal clearing, Vince Zampella was showing off his new Ferrari and he killed someone on a public road acting like a teenager in his $5 million car.

If Vince survived, we would be talking about his arrest for manslaughter.

BLANCHE: That's a Bureau of Prisons security issue that I will not talk about

WELKER: Did you have anything to do with it?
