Happy New Year everyone. Sammy and the team are great, but it is the community that keeps me coming back. Here is to more in 2026. Everything was beautiful and nothing hurt.

So you’re telling me that a Sonic racing game is better than Silksong (assuming Silksong is the game that misses out in the last four spots)? Suddenly IGN doesn’t look so bad.

@11001100110zero I was referring to OpenAI, the Sam Altman company headquartered in San Francisco. On October 1, they signed two simultaneous deals with Samsung and SK Hynix (neither of which knew the other deal existed) swallowing up forty percent of the global supply of DRAM. This, to me, seems like the kind of thing that antitrust laws were made to prevent. Government oversight should be able to prohibit a single American company (which OpenAI is) from gaining this type of competitive advantage in the marketplace.

I am afraid that the OpenAI deal to tie up forty percent of the world’s DRAM supply is going to greatly affect the price of the PS6.
I honestly do not see how that is legal and why the media is not giving more attention to the story. During the pandemic, when there was a shortage of computer chips, there were articles everywhere. And this is different than GPU prices during the height of crypto mining. That was individuals buying up all the cards for their mining rigs. This is one company responsible for the supply constraints. Certainly there must be some anti-monopoly legislation or government oversight that could prevent a single company from controlling that much of the supply chain.
