God of War Laufey Pre-Orders Go Live, Sony Skips CES, and PlayStation Patents a Payment-Reading Controller

The September 28, 2026 episode of Kinda Funny Games Daily opened with a major God of War Laufey news drop, then moved through Sony's CES exit, a dystopian-sounding controller patent, The Last of Us season three casting, and a handful of smaller items. The dominant thread was Sony's shifting strategy—toward entertainment, away from hardware showcases, and toward frictionless payment extraction—but the episode's energy came from the combat footage of Faye and her shape-shifting serpent bow.
