Vitalik Buterin’s Urgent Call: Open-Source Infrastructure as Antidote to Monopolistic Control

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin fires warning shot against centralized power structures in tech industry.

Decentralization Advocate Sounds Alarm

The blockchain visionary pushes for open-source alternatives to break corporate strangleholds on digital infrastructure. Buterin's stance challenges the very foundations of Big Tech's business models—where walled gardens generate more profit than innovation.

Community-Driven Solutions Gain Momentum

Open-source protocols continue demonstrating resilience against centralized failures. Unlike traditional systems requiring permission to innovate, decentralized networks thrive on collective contribution rather than shareholder demands.

Monopoly Resistance Goes Mainstream

As legacy institutions struggle with outdated architectures, Buterin's vision offers blueprint for truly democratic digital ecosystems. The timing couldn't be more perfect—while traditional finance plays catch-up with blockchain adoption, open-source solutions already process more value than some national economies.

Perhaps Wall Street should take notes: decentralized networks don't need bailouts when they're built by millions instead of managed by committees.

Game developers, including Capcom, RGG Studio, and Xbox, have entered the Tokyo Game Show season in full swing, led by Nintendo Direct two weeks back. Sony plans to reveal details on September 24 about software developer Housemarque’s new title, Saros, scheduled for release in 2026. Sony will also release approximately 5 minutes of gameplay footage recorded on the PS5 console.

According to Housemarque’s website, Saros features a new adventure game set on the lost off-world colony of Carcosa during an ominous eclipse. Players get to play as a powerful Soltari Enforcer called Arjun Devraj, who will stop at nothing to find who he is looking for. The company said it aims to create an emotional and powerful character study that explores the cost of creating a new future.

The entertainment company also warned that the broadcast may include copyrighted content, including licensed music, over which PlayStation doesn’t have control. Sony believes licensing agreements outside its control could interfere with co-streams or VOD archives of the stream. The firm also urges co-streamers and creators to omit any copyrighted music for those who are planning to save the stream as a VOD to create recap videos, or to repost clips or segments of the event.

The event will be the sixth State of Play that the company will hold this year. Sony hosted its previous event in the first week of September, where the gameplay of 007 First Light was unveiled. 

The July 10 State of Play stream was heavily focused on Ghost of Yotei, which is expected to be out soon. Sony also revealed today that Ghost of Yotei Rewards will arrive later this year, offering players an opportunity to celebrate their accomplishments with unique merchandise.

The other most recent general State of Play was held in June, which featured announcements about Nioh 3, Marvel Tokon, and the Final Fantasy Tactics revival. Nioh 3’s release date leaked on Wednesday through some swiftly pulled Amazon Japan listings. 

The leak disclosed some details about what the game’s Treasure Box Edition includes. According to the leak, action RPG Nioh 3 will be available on PC via stream as of February 6, 2026, while the PS5 version is also alleged to drop that same day.

The broadcast date will be on September 25 at 06:00 am JST on YouTube and Twitch, and will broadcast in English with Japanese subtitles also available. The release date of Silent Hill is also on Thursday, and Sony is expected to reveal the information and campaigns to build excitement for the game’s release.

The digital version of Football Manager 26 is also scheduled for release on November 5. The company will also reveal realistic footage for the latest installment in the Football Manager series.
