Sony had initially threatened these store shutdowns way back in 2021. These stories are laughable.

I had to ask people watching my stream to help with more and more of the game as it went on. When I wrapped up Blue Prince in October it felt like the accessibility options promised in the \[ \] ## [New Game from Coincidence Next Week: U.V.S.

Well, at least the controller is going up for order on May 4th through Valve directly and it ll be $99.
