This has apparently caught the attention of Elon Musk, noted gamer and CTO of Twitter. After hearing the news, Musk stated that he’ll “look into this.”

As I stated previously, he may want to look into a mirror if he wants to figure out what went wrong. After purchasing Twitter for $44 billion only to bring it down to $19 billion, he cut off free access to the Twitter API. It’s safe to assume that Sony and Microsoft didn’t want to pay for it, so they shut it off.

While there is no idea on how Musk and Twitter will fix this situation, but he is known to backtrack on a few things. Will there be changes to policy to allow for free connectivity under certain circumstances? Will he try to broker a deal that sees Sony and Microsoft paying, but not as much?

We’ll all be here, waiting with bated breath.

Who am I kidding? I honestly do not care. But you might. What are your thoughts?

The post Twitter’s removal from consoles has Musky Musk’s attention appeared first on Desk Chair Analysts.

On Monday, Wario64 pointed out that Sony updated its support pages and sent notices to console owners that they will no longer have the ability to “post and view content” among other things on Twitter from their consoles starting November 13th.

While nobody knows why Sony is turning the feature off, one doesn’t have to think very hard to figure it out. Twitter recently restricted access to their API meaning folks needed to pay up to access it. I imagine Sony wasn’t liking how that bill looked. I mean, the PS5 is selling very well. Microsoft performed a similar move in April, so Sony is a little late to the party.

You can still share content to Twitter if you have a PS5 and the PlayStation App. PS4 users (and by extension, PS5 users) will have to use a USB drive to transfer footage. Or you can share things to YouTube.

Today, they introduced a new feature called “Direct Post” that will integrate with other platforms like Adobe Premiere Pro, Twitch, and CapCut. All a user will need to do is sign into TikTok on the other platforms so they can easily export content.

This will allow creators to enable and disable settings within the original content’s platform before sending the content to TikTok. This should make for a smoother experience because they will be able to do everything from one app instead of switching between different apps and things possibly getting lost in between.

For those familiar with Twitch clips, there is a way to do this, but it looks as if this feature will enable more features.
