We’re a year after release and the PS5 is still hard to find, which means the consoles already out there are a hot commodity. Sadly, this has led to a heated resale culture around the machine, and even more sadly in this case, it has resulted in a 19 year-old being shot when trying to sell one.
As ABC13 reports, a young man from Harris County, Texas had listed his PlayStation 5 console for sale online over the weekend, where a supposedly interested buyer had seen the ad and made contact.

Would It Be Okay To Pay or Vote To Boot Players You Watch? Sony Has A Patent For Just That
In 2020, Sony filed a patent for allowing livestream spectators and participants to remove players from a game. Yesterday, the United States Patent and Trademark Office approved the patent, which you can read in full here. Besides removing unskilled players, the system would allow spectators to pay for the privilege of removing players.
Twitch is the most popular streaming platform in the world, and competitive esports is immensely popular. Considering that Sony filed an online tournament patent this year and bought Evo, the world’s largest fighting game competition, it’s clear that the PlayStation-maker is taking competitive gaming more seriously than it did in the past. An approved patent doesn’t mean that Sony is necessarily developing a “benching” system right now. It just gives the company exclusivity if it ever decides to implement one in the future.
In the patent document, Sony outlined a system in which spectators to a livestream can vote to remove a player from an ongoing game. The player would have no veto power over this decision, and they may be reassigned to a different match. The system would display the skill level of the current players and their statistics for the game, such as time played, ratings, and achievements. All of this would take place through “the cloud gaming system,” whatever that means.
To avoid audience abuse of this system, a 60% voting threshold needs to be met in order to bench a player from a game. Spectators with a higher skill level will also have their votes counted more heavily in the election. Despite Sony claiming that this system would be beneficial for removing disrespectful “griefers” from matches, the patent also includes the ability for spectators to pay a fixed price or bid for the ability to remove players from a game. The text also mentions a system in which spectators can warn active players to improve their gameplay. Damn.

Console Wars Has Reached An All Time Low
During a period of time when both the PS5 and Xbox Series X are selling extremely well and previewing extremely good looking games, dedicated console fanboys are still finding the need to poke holes in each other’s upcoming offerings. Yesterday offered a rare look at this eternal struggle with two manufactured “controversies” unfolding in the same day, two points of criticism aimed at Sony and Microsoft respectively which are frankly, some of the dumbest takes I’ve ever seen in years. And I’ve been watching fanboy flame wars for a long time.

GTA5 For PS5 Literally Is A Cash Grab
Yesterday, during a big PlayStation Showcase event that featured a bunch of new games like God of War Ragnarok, we got a new trailer for the next-gen release of Grand Theft Auto V. It wasn’t very good, and the GTA community is letting everyone know about it. At one point on Thursday, GTA was trending on social media—but it was almost entirely complaints from aggravated fans. It seems Rockstar has finally broken the GTA fanbase’s faith and resolve.
Fast forward over a year later. After 14 months of nearly complete radio silence about GTA V E&E, Rockstar finally releases a new trailer that... doesn’t share any new details, doesn’t seem to show an enhanced version worth spending more money on at all, and, to add icing on the cake, there’s now also a delay for it. E&E was planned to come out in November 2021. Now it’s coming out in March 2022, nearly two years after it was first announced. This is roughly the same amount of time between Rockstar’s first GTA V teaser back in 2011 and its eventual (and first) release in 2013 on PS3 and Xbox 360. Even weirder, and frustrating to many fans as well, is how this new trailer still doesn’t show us much in the way of enhanced visuals or go into any detail about what Rockstar is improving.
The thing is, I’m not sure this trailer is the main reason fans and diehard GTA players have turned so uniformly and harshly on Rockstar. Instead, this situation is more like the straw that broke the camel’s back. Red Dead Online has historically either been neglected, or worse, is barely playable. And after years of waiting for news about GTA 6, getting the billionth re-release of GTA V, and the growing resentment towards GTA Online, it seems that the PlayStation event finally broke the fandom’s collective spirit. Couple this with the stark reality that Rockstar just doesn’t release new games very often anymore, and you’ve got a recipe for an unhappy community. This is a community desperate for crumbs and Rockstar can’t even be bothered to provide them with that.
