Behold! The PSSR!
View: https://x.com/ZhugeEX/status/1833647819065893334
Immediately after the end of World War II, some time traveling socialist scalpers (do not ask how these words fit together into a coherent ideology) offer the leadership of the USSR a sweetheart deal:
They are now capable of purchasing any Sony Playstation, plus the dev tools, from the original PS1 to the PS5 Pro, as well as any accompanying hardware peripherals, at present-day commodity exchange rates. The entire Playstation game catalogue and their dev documentation is also provided to the USSR for free. They can do whatever they want with the purchased Playstations - crack them open for the hardware, attempt to reverse-engineer them, use them as paperweights, whatever.
How does granting the Soviet Union access to compute power decades ahead of their time change the course of history?
