Amazon cancelled the new Stargate show.
The rumor is that the show writer, Martin Gero, would not budge on compromising lore or elements within the show for a "wider modern audience" as they did with Rings of Power for LoTR lore.
Martin Gero wanted to create a show that maintained continuity in the story and lore of the old shows, including the mythology and tech, while respecting the 17 seasons of history.
Amazon instead wanted something new for the "modern audience" that's more accessible, reimagined, with more modern casual sensibilities.
Because the showrunners wanted to maintain integrity rather than turn Stargate into another "modern audience slop" like Rings of Power, Amazon leadership canceled it. The franchise heavyweight, like Joseph Mallozzi, was very excited for the fresh stories Gero worked on. Amazon says they are still open to Stargate, just not "this" version... yes they wanted to Rings of Powerify Stargate.
We really can't hate these people enough.
I got my copy of the PlayStation 2 Anthology and it's quite funny how it's bigger than an actual PS2...

This censorship is powered by the two major duopolistic payment networks and, as usual, the key people behind it don't even play games.
This may gradually become worse. Soon, games like the POSTAL series, Rimworld and many others may have severe struggles if these precedents are put into place just because these companies might eventually decide they "don't like their approach" and force store fronts like Steam for takedowns.
The future isn't looking bright.
While I never actually worked on it, I had and shared the initial concept for the ArchiveTeam Warrior - a distributed network of scriptable web-archiving virtual machines.
This makes me indirectly responsible for several petabytes of internet archives made over the past decade.

For those of you who've never seen five PlayStation Vitas on charge at once.
I know this LOOKS like an offering to the Sony gods for a new portable handheld...you'd never believe me if I denied it anyway
