Zlatan Ibrahimovic Must Accept His Playing Career Is Coming To An End

LONDON, Aug 16 (Reuters) - A court in Russia has fined streaming service Twitch 2 million roubles ($33,000) for hosting a short video containing what it calls "fake" information about alleged war crimes in the Ukrainian town of Bucha, Russian news agencies reported on Tuesday.

Earlier, RIA reported that Telegram messenger was hit with two fines totalling 11 million roubles ($179,000) for refusing to delete channels which allegedly showed how to "sabotage" military vehicles and hosting "unreliable data" about Russia's progress in what it calls a "special military operation" in Ukraine.

Although Green's attack on Poole was revealed earlier this week, footage of the incident did not surface until Friday, when it was obtained by The team has already announced that Green will not be suspended, and any punishment would be handled internally.

Sony on Thursday introduced its PlayStation Stars loyalty program for PS5 and PS4 gamers. It'll be free to join, and players will be able to earn loyalty points by completing a variety of campaigns and activities. Players can choose from a catalog of options to redeem points, including PlayStation Network wallet funds and select PlayStation Store products.

Tencent's pursuit for bigger stakes in gaming firms comes as other tech giants such as Microsoft, Sony and Amazon are snapping up gaming assets and related intellectual properties, said three of the sources.

Also, with Beijing strictly restricting game approvals at home and still suspending approvals for games of foreign IPs, Tencent is forced to move towards gaining control of foreign game companies and their IPs, said the four sources.

HONG KONG, Oct 1 (Reuters) - Tencent is resetting its M&A strategy to put more focus on buying majority stakes mainly in overseas gaming companies, as the tech giant eyes global expansion to offset slowing growth at home in China, people with direct knowledge of the matter said.

The PlayStation Stars program will launch later this year, though an exact time frame hasn't been provided yet. CNET reached out to PlayStation, but the gaming giant didn't immediately respond for comment.

A great personality and technical talent though he may be, Zlatan Ibrahimovic fails to realise that he is fast approaching the end of a long and troubled career at the top of the game, never having won football's greatest prizes like the Ballon d'Or or the Champions League. 

The clip shows Green exchanging words with Poole along the baseline, before bumping chests with the smaller guard, who attempts to gently push the veteran forward out of the way as concerned teammates and coaches began to take notice

Some onlookers stepped in while others, including reigning NBA Finals MVP Stephen Curry, stood by and simply watched the skirmish unfold. Ultimately a throng of six or so bystanders were able to separate the pair.

One report claimed teammates were upset that Poole had been talking incessantly about building a pool on his property and the banter ultimately got to Green, Punterforum.It but Curry has since called that theory 'absolute BS.'

Supporting and cheering the team from the sidelines - while earning several million euros per year - can help to encourage and galvanise his team-mates, but it is an outdated privilege more given him based on gratitude than merit. 

IBRA REFUSES TO ACCEPT THAT HE IS AGEING AC Milan owe Ibrahimovic a huge debt, and the charismatic forward played his part as the Rossoneri won the Scudetto in 2021-22, but he is not the same player he once was, and much like Oscar Wilde's Dorian Grey, refuses to believe that he is ageing. 

Campaigns will include PlayStation's "Monthly Check-In" campaign, where you can earn points just for playing any game on your console. Other activities will require you to win tournaments or unlock trophies to earn points -- or even be the first player in your local time zone to make it to platinum for a blockbuster title (which indicates that a player has achieved 100% completion in that game).

He has pain in his knees and by his own admission when he gets up in the morning he himself is nervous of what will happen to his body, but his love for the game far outweighs the logical part of his brain which tells him to retire. 

Digital collectibles are also on their way to the PS5 via the Stars program. Collectibles could be figurines of iconic characters -- think Solid Snake or Ratchet & Clank -- or they could be representations of famous Sony devices throughout history. 

Apart from the core gaming sector, Tencent is also looking to snap up global assets, in particular in Europe, related to the so-called metaverse, said one of the sources and another source with direct knowledge of the matter.

Tencent's new strategy indicates how China's tech titans are looking to emerge from the regulatory shadows after two years of crackdown and uncertainty that weighed on their sales at home and triggered a massive selloff in their stocks.
