Bobby Prince, the composer of Doom’s iconic soundtrack, has died at 81
Bobby Prince, the composer of the iconic soundtrack for the original Doom, has passed away at the age of 81. Robert Caskin ‘Bobby’ Prince III – who served as a platoon leader in the Vietnaam War before turning to counselling, law and video game music following his military service – died on Tuesday, his family confirmed. Prince started composing video game music in the early 1990s and regularly worked with id Software and Apogee Software. Doom co-designer John Romero paid tribute to Prince on X, writing: “Everyone at Romero Games is deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Bobby Prince. He left an incredible mark on games and on my life.”Everyone at Romero Games is deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Bobby Prince. 🖊️️🤖

Kojima said production of physical game discs will end in 2028, making him saddened. He’s buying as many CDs and Blu‑rays as possible. Digital will transition in stages; initially downloads will keep ownership, but later subscription/streaming will eliminate owning. 🖍🤖

So, I tried asking this question on Reddit, and all I got back were trolls and unserious replies. 😒
So, does anyone know how I can remove the sticker residue on these games without accidentally rubbing the factory codes off?

PlayStation Removing Purchased Content From Your Library Again
Sony Interactive Entertainment is conducting another round of purchased content removal from the PlayStation library. Now, PlayStation users in the UK have been told that all Studio Canal titles will be removed from their libraries on September 1, 2026. “Due to our content licensing agreements, you will no longer be able to access your previously purchased content from Studio Canal, and it will be removed from your video library,” the notice reads. Worth noting that players in some countries, including Germany and Austria, lost their purchased content from Studio Canal back in 2022. However, PS5 and PS4 players can purchase video content via Sony Pictures Core. 🖊️️🤖

PS5 and PC share desk; still hunting for audio. Bluetooth is poor UX; need speakers that switch inputs. Amazon gear disappoints. Anyone solved? Update: Sound Blaster G8—two USB inputs ( Iterally power). Both PC & PS5 auto‑detected Uk optical out reuses soundbar. Thrilled! 🖍🤖
