Fable 5 is back with small print. One that says who really rules in US AI

by

Fables 5 has returned three weeks after the US government ordered its blackout. It returns with several asterisks: it only allows 50% of weekly usage for paid plans, and it brings a more aggressive security filter along with a commitment that binds Anthropic to share with the government every model that comes after it, including future ones. The official origin is a reproducible failure in models much inferior to Fable. But what remains after solving it weighs more: early government access before each launch and dedicated computing to audit the models. In detail. On June 12, the US government acted after learning of a report from Amazon researchers that Fable 5 had identified software vulnerabilities by bypassing its safeguards. Anthropic replicated the finding with less powerful models (Opus 4.8, GPT-5.5 and Kimi K2.7) and everyone got it the same. On June 30, the restriction was lifted. Of course, the new classifier notifies the user when it blocks a request and redirects it to Opus 4.8. Between the lines. Anthropic admits that this classifier blocks more harmless requests, especially in programming and debugging code, its main use. The safety margin itself, the company says, is “far greater than in any previous release.” Alberto Romero, in The Algorithmic Bridgereads it like this: if the model fails due to excess caution in its most common use, the real ceiling of what a user can squeeze out remains at the level of Opus 4.8 either GPT-5.5although the model below is more powerful. Why is it important. Anthropic grants early access to models that “materially advance the capability frontier” in national security, and assembles internal teams for government priorities. The government reserves the right to reimpose the license “if circumstances change”, but without defining which ones. Since the premise of this industry is that a larger model develops new capabilities overnight, almost any advancement fits that phrase. The context. Anthropic has been collaborating on an ad hoc basis with US agencies such as the Treasury and the National Cybersecurity Office for almost two years. What is new is that this work becomes a permanent protocol, and that Fable and Mythos They are the first to pass through it. Anthropic has been chasing OpenAI for years, but in 2026 it has taken the lead on several fronts, in the heat of Claude Code, Claude Cowork and the discovery of the quality of their models’ responses by those who had not left ChatGPT. Accepting this tutelage now, when they finally have something to lose, is a gamble: they prefer a guarded border to a race that neither they nor their government fully control. And now what. What needs to be monitored is whether the classifier improves its accuracy in code without losing a strong hand, and whether OpenAI or Google end up signing something similar. If that happens, Fable’s return will no longer seem like an isolated incident.

From 2028 you will not buy the game, just a permit to play it as long as Sony wants

by

Sony recently gave us one of the worst news for the video game industry. And the company will stop manufacturing physical disks for all new PlayStation games starting in January 2028. The company justifies as “a natural evolution towards current consumer preferences”, in which the demand for the digital format has prevailed over the physical medium. From that date on, any title you want to purchase will only exist in the PlayStation Store cloud or in digital versions from partner stores. What we have to do now is ask ourselves what this change really means for those who pay for a game. Why does it matter? When you buy a record, that object is yours. You can lend it, resell it, keep it on a shelf for years and it continues to work even if the company responsible goes bankrupt. There are nuances to this, since each company manages the licenses of its content in different ways, but the important thing is that the physical medium has that added value that, in most cases, allows you to own the content. When you buy a digital game, on the other hand, you do not acquire the software, but rather a license to use it subject to a contract that almost no one reads. Steam leaves it in writing in your subscriber agreement, as the content is licensed, not sold. This legal distinction, which is usually a fine print that many of us ignore, becomes the general rule of the PlayStation ecosystem as soon as the disc disappears completely. And yes, we can talk about that today, even buying in physical format, nothing guarantees that all the content is on the disk. Also, in terms of preservation, although a disk can last for many years if well preserved, it is not an eternal medium and can also deteriorate over time. What is at stake here is a company’s total control over what you buy, and that, even minimally, should matter to us. Anti-consumer practices. Companies have a thousand reasons to abandon the physical format, and over the last few years we have seen examples of anti-consumer practices beyond the abandonment of this format. In 2024, Ubisoft shut down the servers of The Crew, a driving game that required permanent connection even to play alone. The title stopped working completely for all its buyers, without any patch that would allow you to continue playing offline. That was the spark that ignited the movement. Stop Killing Gameswhich gathered more than 1.3 million verified signatures to ask the European Union to force publishers to leave their games in a playable state when they withdraw support. This month, the European Commission refused to impose that obligation by lawalleging that the studios’ intellectual property rights outweigh the player’s continued access, although they did commit to promoting a voluntary code of conduct by the end of the year. The fine print is now the norm. That same debate has forced distributors themselves to be more honest about what they sell. In the United States, a California law (the AB 2426) prohibits digital stores from using words like “buy” if they do not offer real ownership of the product. As a consequence, Steam started showing a notice in the payment process that clarifies that you are only acquiring a license for the game, not its ownership. PlayStation Store is not subject to that law outside of California, but the principle is identical. Legal front. In addition to the pulse in Europe, Sony faces in the United Kingdom a class action lawsuit valued at nearly $2.7 billion for alleged abuse of a dominant position in the sale of digital games. In parallel, Ubisoft is already being sued in France and California for the closure of The Crew, accused of making consumers believe that they were purchasing a game permanently when, in practice, their access ended up being temporary. They are different disputes, but they all point to the same question. What legal protection does someone have who has paid 70, 80 or 90 euros for something that can disappear due to the decision of a company? Impotence. There’s no magic solution really, but if you value preservation, there are cases like GOGwho sell installers without DRM that can be downloaded and saved permanently, the closest thing today to real ownership of a video game. But of course, that doesn’t solve the problem of someone buying physical games in the PlayStation ecosystem. It may be that we are doomed to abandon the physical format. But not this way, or at least not having to give up our possession to a company. And the problem is that we have been convinced for all these years that the convenience and comfort of the digital format had to strictly go through a company’s total control over what you buy. Regarding PlayStation, games already published on disc before 2028 will continue to exist in that format, so anyone who values ​​this format still has a year and a half to continue buying. And it is worth remembering that not even the label “physical” guarantees anything anymore. The clearest example we had it a few days ago with GTA VIwhich its physical edition will include only a download code inside the box, without any disc. They are anti-consumer measures.

“A glass is not reusable because it is thicker”

by

If you usually go to concerts and festivals, it will have happened to you. more than once. If you want to order a drink at the bar, in addition to the soft drink, beer or big cup you have to pay for a special glass, one supposedly “reusable”although in practice most people never use it again. It remains as a memory of the festival. And that is in the best of cases. Many others end up in green bins or thrown on the floor, just like single-use plastic cups. There are those who believe that It’s time to change that. What has happened? That the Ministry for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge (Miteco) has just received a small slap on the wrist from the more than 130 social, environmental, neighborhood and consumer organizations that are part of the Zero Waste Alliance and the #LeydeResiduosYA platform. In a statement issued a few days ago by Greenpeace (one of its members), both groups complain about the “legal loophole” that exists around supposedly “reusable” glasses at festivals and concerts and ask the department headed by Sara Aagesen to improve its regulation. What is the problem? That often the packaging distribute sold at festivals with the label ‘sustainable’ are anything but. Hence Zero Waste and #LeydeResiduosYa talk about “false ‘reusable’ glasses.” In theory the RD 1055/2022 points out that from July 1, 2023, the promoters of any “festive, cultural or sporting event” (whether or not it has public sponsorship) must “implement alternatives to the sale and distribution of beverages in single-use containers and glasses”, in addition to guaranteeing access to unpackaged water. That’s the theory, of course. Greenpeace and the rest of the organizations that have addressed Miteco they denounce that, “in practice, the reusable cup has become a mere product of merchandising that is charged to attendees, but that lacks a real collection and circulation system. Is it a problem? Of course, this is what Julio Barea, head of Greenpeace’s waste area, considers, who regrets the “legal vacuum” and that a concept as seemingly simple as ‘sustainable packaging’ has been degraded. “A cup is not reusable because it is made of thicker plastic or because it has a sustainable message printed on it. It is only reusable if it is systematically returned, washed and recirculated,” warns the expert “Without a real return circuit, we are faced with just another single-use waste, disguised as green.” The most curious thing, as environmental organizations highlight, is that there is already legislation (Law 7/2022 and RD 1055/2022) on the topic. The problem is, in your opinion“the lack of operational development and inspections”, which has caused the spirit of the laws to be “evaded”. “Large festivals and events cannot continue to wash their image at the expense of the consumer’s pocket. Charging one euro for a glass without offering the real option to return it is climate fraud.” Is it just theory? No. There are practical cases that help to better understand the problem. In November 2025 Facua revealed that the Seville City Council’s Consumer Service planned to fine a concert promoter 20,000 euros precisely for not allowing users to return glasses that were supposedly “reusable” and charged at 1.5 euros. “People who wanted to drink the cold drink were forced to purchase the official glass of the concert for an added amount of 1.5 euros. In the case of beers, there was no alternative to buying these glasses, since the only option was on tap,” details Facuawhich denounces that, despite RD 1055/2022, the supposedly reusable glasses were not allowed to be returned. Why are they denouncing him now? That the Zero Waste Alliance and #YAWasteLaw have raised his voice right now it’s no coincidence. And not only because we have just entered summer, the quintessential time of festivals and open-air concerts. The organizations want the ministry to take advantage of the opportunity provided by the upcoming reform of the Royal Packaging Decree to “implement effective collection, washing and traceability systems.” “The imminent adaptation of the state legal framework to the new European Regulation 2025/40 on packaging, applicable from August, represents the ideal opportunity to correct this anomaly,” underlines Zero Waste and #LeydeResiduosYa, which ask that the new regulatory framework address several points: define what a “reusable cup” is and oblige organizers to enable visible return points and be clear when providing information. Furthermore, they require concert promoters to report how many containers they have used, how many they have recovered and what their actual reuse cycles are like. They also claim that their way of acting influences issues such as authorizations, sponsorships or public subsidies.

Anthropic CEO repeats what Ballmer said 25 years ago when calling Linux “a cancer”

by

In June 2001, Steve Ballmer, who had barely been CEO of Microsoft for a year and a half, granted an interview to the Chicago Sun-Times newspaper. During the course of it, he would make a historic statement by saying that “Linux is a cancer”. The curious thing is that 25 years later the CEO of Anthropic, Dario Amodei, made very similar statements when talking about how “Open Source AI is becoming a danger.” Both then and now, the reason that provoked these statements was none other than the fear that the Open Source philosophy would end up triumphing in the world. And if history teaches us anything—and perhaps Amodei should have foreseen it—it is that precisely what Ballmer did was not weaken Linux, but rather make it stronger than ever. That may also be what Dario Amodei ends up achieving. Amodei’s statements They were actually produced three years ago.. He made them in a speech before the US Senate Judiciary Committee in July 2023, but at that time they went somewhat unnoticed because at that time the most advanced AI models in the world were still very limited, and the situation for open models like Llama 3 was even worse. Linux was not dangerous per se. AI models of open weights, neither Three years later things have changed radically. The open models that several Chinese startups and technology companies have managed to develop are already very close to the impressive frontier models of Anthropic, OpenAI or Google, and Amodei’s prediction now becomes much more relevant. But it does so at a time when its Mythos and Fable 5 models have had a lot of problems precisely for being “dangerous.” Mythos Preview first and Mythos 5 now are only available for a small group of entities and companies due to its potential to find cybersecurity vulnerabilities. AND Fables 5which was a “layered” version of Mythos ended up being vetoed by the US government three days after going on the market. only yesterday its deployment was reinstatedbut it has done so with more restrictions to use it: if the model detects any dangerous intention, it is deactivated so that the user switches to using Opus 4.8. And while the US tries to put doors in the field with the excuse of national security, China does not even bat an eyelid. Chinese companies have not stopped launching more and better models of open weights, and We have the last and most splendid example in GLM-5.2the Zhipu.ai (Z.ai) model that is surprising everyone and everyone. Its creators already warned when launching it that its performance in various benchmarks is at the level of Claude Opus 5.5 or GPT-5.5. But independent analyzes in the field of cybersecurity they claim that GLM-5.2 is “as dangerous” as Opus 4.8 also in terms of cybersecurity. This points to a disturbing future for the US: that China will have models as powerful as Mythos in the short term. Jie Tang, CEO of Z.ai, agreed with that perspective: Elon Musk anticipated that these models would arrive in the first quarter of 2027, and Tang indicated that “it won’t take that long.” The real problem is not that Chinese companies develop open weight models with capabilities similar to those of Mythos. That will inevitably come, but as happened with Linux and Open Source software, The danger is that these models displace commercial software and threaten the dominant position of Anthropic and OpenAI. That’s what Ballmer feared 25 years ago, but what he seemed to point to with that FUD statement never happened. What happened was precisely what he would never have imagined: that Microsoft ended up “appropriating” Linux and Open Source solutions by integrating them into its cloud infrastructure, Azure. Today Linux virtual machines represent 61.8% of all those in Azure: this operating system has become an even more important option than Windows on that platform. It is no coincidence: the presence of Linux and Open Source platforms in the server market is absolutely dominant (about 90% globally), and the adoption of these solutions by Microsoft has been total. Not only in server environments, be careful: the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) layer of Windows operating systems has been a crucial attraction for users and especially developers for years. The company made its definitive move in that section when he bought GitHub in 2018and he hasn’t looked back since. The analogy with the Anthropic (or OpenAI) situation is inevitable. Linux then threatened Microsoft’s position, and open AI models threaten that of Anthropic or OpenAI. The question here is not whether those AI models developed by Chinese companies can be dangerous: Mythos, Fable 5 and GPT-5.5/5.6 have already shown that they can be. The question is who they are for. For the world… or for the companies trying to become the de facto monopolies of this industry? Linux, after all, wasn’t a cancer. Ballmer was not right. It’s very likely that Amodei doesn’t have it either. Image | World Bank Photo Collection | Wikimedia Commons In Xataka | For decades, Linux has earned a reputation as a “shielded” operating system.

In a display of technical superiority, France has just invented traditional white towns. We, however, have forgotten about them

by

At this time of year, in the hardware stores of the French Midi, it is impossible to find a very specific product: ‘blanc de Meudon’, a classic cleaning product in French drugstores since the 18th century and which in Spain would be equivalent to traditional crushed chalk. And no, it’s not that they have a sudden fever to have everything clean and spotless. As we said in Magnetis that in the middle of a heat wave, with maximum temperatures above 40 degrees and blackouts in much of the country, thousands of French people discovered that they could mix this powder with water and paint their windows with it. With the milky glass, the light reflects and the houses could shave a few degrees off the country’s struggle with climate change. In a matter of days, in fact, it has gone viral. And does it work? Of course it works. Chalk is calcium carbonate, a pigment that barely absorbs light and therefore reflects almost all solar radiation. It’s the same logic Purdue ultrawhite paints or the whitewashed towns that dot the Mediterranean. These are things that seem basic to us, but that no one thinks seriously about until the thermometer goes completely crazy. Luckily, ‘blanc de Meudon’ is widely used in the country. The other option would have been to pay attention to the Loughborough University and start spreading yogurt on the outside of the windows. According to the researchers’ calculations, with the “lactic approach” the temperature of the houses dropped by 0.6 degrees on average (and up to 3.5 on sunny days). A lot of laughter, but they still found a different approach, right? No. The data is clear: “complete shielding” with blinds, curtains or even aluminum foil lowers the internal temperature by 5 to 6 degrees, almost double that of yogurt or chalk. For this reason, images of Paris with thermal blankets on the windows have also gone viral. However, this is only the most striking curiosity. If I bring up the French fever for painting the windows, it is because there is something more interesting hanging from that problem: that, little by little, we are forgetting that architecture is something that has to adapt to the place where it is. All cities are the same city. For years, walking through the center of a European city has been a very curious experience. It doesn’t matter if it’s Paris, Lisbon, London, Prague or Berlin, they all look more and more alike. They are mimicking. They are losing their local peculiarities to repeat over and over again the same franchises or international stores: Primark, Zara, McDonald’s, Starbucks, Ale Hop or Calzedonia… But it doesn’t just happen in the centers, of course: experts have been wondering for years why all new constructions look the same regardless of which part of the country (or the world) hosts these new buildings. In Spain, specifically, ‘zebras’ have become a huge problem. A decade ago there was a very interesting debate about how the doctors’ series had promoted a whole series of practices that were dangerous for health professionals and patients. Things like wearing a stethoscope around your neck or not wearing anything below your elbows are simple rules that the cultural image of TV doctors eroded (and caused problems). With architecture and urbanization the same thing happens. A pending reflection. Often, when we decide to conserve our architectural heritage, we choose to protect unique buildings. And it makes sense, mind you. The problem is that, along the way, we forget about techniques, structures and decisions that are, in reality, profound adaptations to the climate in which we find ourselves. That Mediterranean towns are white is not a whim, nor is it a whim that their houses have the structure they have. It is true that some of these characteristics are due to technological limitations of the time in which they were built, but not all. And that is the heart of the problem: if we do not start thinking about our urban heritage as a tool, we will find ourselves in a few years painting the windows white. And, in short, we will not have searched for it by hand.

this is how this company operates in a small town in Ciudad Real

by

Among the vineyards and olive groves of Herencia, a municipality of just over seven thousand inhabitants in Ciudad Real, some of the armored vehicles that today circulate through NATO barracks, Spanish police stations and roads in several countries in Africa are manufactured. The company in charge of this type of projects It’s called TSDand the most interesting of all is that it was not always a vehicle manufacturer. In fact, he started selling safes. How it all started. Antonio Ramírez founded the company in 2000 as a family business that had nothing to do with the military industry. “We began by focusing our work on the transportation of funds, on the development of vaults or safes for banking ATMs,” explained Ramírez. in the report from El Español. Over time, the firm expanded its activity into the security and defense sector until it became a manufacturer of tactical and armored vehicles. Today TSD invoice around 130 million euros per year and employs more than 600 people in its rural surroundings. In detail. The firm’s star product is the Íbero, a multipurpose 4×4 tactical vehicle with a modular design that can become an assault vehicle, border surveillance vehicle, riot control vehicle, command post or even a mortar launcher, as detailed by the company. There are three versions depending on weight and capacity: the lightest (LTV) is around 5 tons and carries up to 6 occupants, while the heaviest (HTV) reaches 15 tons and can carry up to 12 people. The vehicle was officially presented in 2020 after a decade of development, and there are already around 70 examples manufactured. Between the lines. TSD does not build chassis from scratch. The company works as a “second phase” manufacturer. And it is that part from brand platforms such as Mercedes-BenzRenault or Iveco and on them it mounts the armor, communication systems and the specific configurations of each mission. It is a model that allows you to adapt practically any commercial chassis to military or police use. The NATO seal. As an official supplier of the Atlantic Alliance, TSD vehicles have the organization’s own certifications and approvals. According to what they saythe entire process is governed by STANAG regulations, the international standard that sets the armor levels required by NATO. Vehicles destined for the Alliance are painted dark green, the official color of NATO, while those sent to desert areas, such as the Middle East, wear a cream tone. Beyond Europe. The Íbero has crossed borders, since nearly a hundred units have already been sold, most outside of Spainwith presence in African countries such as Senegal or Ivory Coast, where the vehicles operate in real scenarios and have been tested in combat. The company is now studying making the leap to South America, with Chile and Argentina as markets in its sights. Not just military vehicles. Along with the tactical range, TSD maintains a less visible but equally important line of business, with armored vans for transporting funds, destined for central banks and security companies. They incorporate remote locking systems and patented technologies, such as foam that solidifies in seconds to protect cargo from an attempted assault. Added to this is the manufacturing of police vehicles, with a production volume that exceeds the 5,000 units per yearof which about 1,500 are personalized to order. In Spain, bodies such as the Civil Guard already use their vehicles. And now what. The context in which we live is helping the company, since Europe is increasing its defense spending and seeks to reinforce its strategic autonomy against dependence on external suppliers. In this scenario, family businesses like TSD gain weight as an agile and flexible alternative.

Netflix’s latest big ratings success turns the formula into a phenomenon

by

Nobody expected that’I will find you‘ was Harlan Coben’s best premiere for Netflix, and in fact, it has not been. However, eleven days after its arrival on the platform, it accumulates more views than almost any other fiction of 2026 in that same period: 58.1 millionand number one in more than 80 countries. The figure reaches milestones that only a handful of productions have reached in the entire history of the platform. And that, as we say, is not even the author’s best premiere with Netflix. What is it about? The series follows David Burroughs (Sam Worthington), a man who has been serving a life sentence for five years for the murder of his three-year-old son, a crime he has always denied having committed. Everything changes when his ex-sister-in-law, Rachel Mills (Britt Lower), brings him evidence that the boy could still be alive, opening the possibility that the original investigation was manipulated. Convinced that he has been the victim of a conspiracy, David escapes from prison and, together with Rachel and while being pursued by the FBI, unravels a web of family secrets that questions everything he thought he knew about his past. The author factory. Harlan Coben is certainly no newcomer to Netflix. The platform signed an agreement with him in August 2018 to adapt fourteen of his novels, expanded in 2022 with twelve more titles, including the eleven novels by Myron Bolitar, one of the researchers who star in his intrigues (and who is actually a representative of athletes). ‘I will find you’ is the first produced by an American team, after eight years transferring the original plots to the United Kingdom, Poland, France, Spain or Argentina. Some milestones of Coben’s adaptations. ‘Wiles‘ was the most watched series globally in the first half of 2024, with 107.5 million views, which placed it in seventh place in the history of English-language series on Netflix. ‘On the Run’ generated 15.6 million views in its first week and managed to unseat ‘Stranger Things’ from number one in the United States. Astronomical figures, surpassing even this ‘I will find you’, and which attest to Netflix’s good nose for detecting a vein. One that, in addition, insistently repeats certain plot lines: disappearances, family secrets, hidden identities, all of this is grouped under the “Harlan Coben Collection“which currently has 13 films. The public praises what the critics do not. Curiously, Coben’s adaptations do not have particularly high critical acceptance. There are some like ‘Silence in the snow‘ that have very low marks on Rotten Tomatoes (34%), and others that raise the average a little, such as ‘Safe‘ and its 73% of the public and 71% of the critics. But in general, the grades are closer to passing by the skin of their teeth: this ‘I will find you’ it has 63% of the public and 61% of the critics. None of this erodes in the least the audience phenomenon that adaptations represent. What is coming. While Netflix enjoys the success of ‘I’ll Find You’, Coben’s adaptation machinery does not stop (because they are always self-contained stories that work in a single stroke, with no option for second seasons) and ‘Myron Bolitar’ is already in preparation, the series that David E. Kelley (‘Big Little Lies’, ‘Presumed Innocent’) will co-write and co-direct with Coben himself. As a novelty, it is the first adaptation designed as a long-running series and not as a closed miniseries. Good times for comfortable, effective suspense with no other ambitions than to provide an acceptable dose of intrigue and chills.

The first thing that draws attention at the interface level is the inclusion of a 6.86 inch Vision Plus TFT color touch screen installed in an inclined position to improve the ergonomics of daily use. However, the most interesting core is in its internal electronics. This model incorporates the algorithm AI Super Washa sensor system that autonomously analyzes the volume of the load introduced and the level of opacity or dirt in the water. Based on these parameters, the dishwasher regulates the flow and exact amount of liquid detergent in real time through its intelligent self-dosing module. At the drying level, to avoid uncomfortable condensation drops on plastics and glass, Hisense implements the systems Air Dry, Auto Dry and All Drywhich combine an assisted internal fan with the automatic opening of the door just at the end of the program, facilitating the evacuation of accumulated steam. As is now common in the multinational’s connected ecosystem, the top models incorporate WiFi connectivity. This allows them to be linked with the ConnectLife mobile app to program the start of the electricity rate during off-peak hours or keep a history of the device’s real consumption.

Sony won the most important generation by humiliating Xbox with physical games. 13 years later he killed them

by

Sony has just taken a stab at video games in physical format. Those discs that allowed PlayStation to build its empire with CDs, DVDs and Blu-Ray on consoles like PS1, PS2 and PS3now they have a death date. Starting January 2028, there will be no more physical games for PlayStation consoles. The reactions have not been long in coming, with all industry players pointing out the impact of this decision. We will not own games because they are licenses, worry from small publishers, death to second hand and abandoning games and all because of a decision that makes industrial sense: absolute control by Sony in the distribution of games, their price and the margin they leave in their store. But since the newspaper archive is very bloody, it didn’t take long for those who, like myself yesterday, to remember a certain moment from E3 2013 to appear: the same moment in which PlayStation 4 won the competition Xbox One with three very simple decisions, but they disrupted Microsoft’s plans. Because it was at that same moment that PlayStation won the generation. And as the Xbox boss confessed some time later, they lost the worst generation that could be lost in the field of consoles. The battlefield? Physical games, the same ones that today have an expiration date. When you lose the worst generation you can lose June 2013, E3 plenary session. The great video game fair was preparing for a generational event. Both Sono and Microsoft had teased some features of the PS4 and Xbox One respectively in advance, but on June 10, the Xbox One would show off games and pricing, and on the same day but a few hours later, Sony would do the same for the PS4. What no one expected was what was about to happen. Xbox One already had controversies behind it due to the fact that the machine had been presented more as an entertainment system (with an emphasis on watching television on it) than as a console. Besides, in a gross communication failureit was also noted that the discs needed online verification every few hours for Microsoft to verify that the game was yours. This meant that if you didn’t have Internet, you might not be able to play your games, and the division’s boss himself sent out the message. “If you don’t have Internet access, we have a product for you. It’s called Xbox 360”. When you present your new machine, it is not elegant to say that if someone doesn’t want it, they have the old one because the easiest thing that can happen is that they end up looking at the competition. And the competition… tightened. After the mess with the verification of physical copies on Xbox One, Sony attacked. During his conference, starting at the hour and 57 minute mark, Jack Tretton, who was COO of Sony Computer Entertainment, spent a few minutes stating that they believed in the physical format, in sharing and reselling your games on disc and in doing whatever you wanted with them. Of course, there would be no ‘online check’ to verify the discs either. He won a lot of applause with the speech that you can see here: That moment, added to the fact that PS4 was going to cost 100 euros less than the confusing Xbox One, marked the generation, but there was more blood. On the same day of the presentation, PlayStation recorded a video in which two of its heavyweights did a complete tutorial of what the process of leaving games between PS4 users was going to be like. It is one of the most iconic moments of these fairs and one of the last moments I remember in which one company went so hard against another in this console thing: The previous generation, the PS3 and Xbox 360, ended with the two machines selling a very similar number of units, but the PS4 and Xbox One began with the Sony machine sweeping sales. Xbox retracted its policiesbut it was late and when Phil Spencer took the reins of the division and started making moves (lower the price, remove mandatory Kinect, etc.), it was… well, that’s it: late. Xbox One sold so little that Microsoft made the decision to stop providing data on consoles sold. When that happens, things go wrong because everyone likes to stick out their chests when the wind is in their favor, and a few years later, Spencer himself commented that they lost the generation they shouldn’t lose. “We lost the worst generation you could lose, the one where everyone built their digital games library” – Phil Spencer Among their arguments, one made all the sense in the world: the PS4 and Xbox One was the generation of change, of the change from physical to digital, of the change from a model of consoles that were a blank canvas to one in which people wanted to continue playing their games from past generations. And, above all, the generation in which it was more important than ever to provide continuity to that digital ecosystem. Spencer summarized with the phrase “we lost the worst generation that could be lost, the one in which everyone built their library of digital games.” As I say, it makes perfect sense because if you went from an Xbox 360 to a new console, it didn’t matter to you because there was no backward compatibility (it was added later in the case of Xbox). You had to start from scratch, and the same if you went from PS3 to PS4. Therefore, Xbox 360 users who were not happy with the new policies were able to switch to PS4 without fear of losing anything because there was nothing to lose. However, as On PS4 and Xbox One the digital ecosystem began to developusers began to buy more and more games in that format. If you had a PS4 with an account in which you had invested money in dozens of games, it was … Read more
