The Japanese government has not allowed PlayStation Network to be activated for Japanese gamers yet due to security concerns, and now an expert is advising Australia to follow suit.
Professor Bill Caelli told newspaper The Australian, “Why is it that in the IT industry enterprises certify themselves?” said Caelli, noting that PSN didn’t have the same restrictions, and added that the public has “no way of assessing the assurances given by the owners of the (PSN) system themselves”.
Reportedly, Australian privacy commissioner Timothy Pilgrim has been in contact with Sony, and has not judged yet whether Sony has given them enough information to restore PSN. His investigation will be an ongoing one as well, even after PSN is restored.
When it was discovered user information had been stolen during the PSN breach, the Australian federal government announced plans for a law forcing companies to disclose privacy breaches, although it was unclear when it might come into effect. Privacy minister Brendan O’Connor had stated:
“Sony isn’t alone. We’ve seen serious privacy-related incidents in recent months involving other large companies. All companies that collect customers’ personal information must ensure that the information is safe and secure from misuse.”
We’ll stay on this story as it develops.
Hi Guys.
As usual: thanks for your effort in this episode, i highly aprecciate this!
Regarding the topics:
I did not play that much atm, its too hot π
I played a little bit God of War on the PS5, a little bit Magic Arena and a little bit Life is strange: true colors.
Turtles: I will buy the game as well, games like these are so much fun with friends and the price is totally fair imho.
Starfield: i watched the short clips, which have been shown during the Microsoft Bethesda showcase event some days ago. But i am not very interested in that game, because its too huge. I sadly dont have the time to play such big games where you have to spent so many time π
Silksong: cant wait to be released!
Hot Wheels: Yes i am excited as well. Looks funny and interesting, even if am not so much into racing games π
Regarding all the other games, i dont know them, so cant say anything about it π
Thanks again and please stay healthy!
Greetings from germany,

Dragonβs Dogma 2 might be great if they expand choices with the collaboration features. Maybe have tactical party settings like Dragon Age 2 had, so you can direct collaborative battles without tediously micro-managing.
Great show!
