On this channel, you’ll find long-form video essays about gaming’s biggest stories from studio collapses and corporate greed to the creative risks that still push the medium forward. I break down industry trends, publisher decisions, and the economics behind how games are made, marketed, and sold. Whether it’s GTA 6, Elden Ring, Baldur's Gate 3, Path of Exile 2, Call of Duty, Battlefield, Pokémon, or the next doomed live-service experiment, I cover how the industry’s biggest names keep shaping and breaking the games we play. From deep dive analysis on publishers like EA, Bungie, Blizzard, Activision, Ubisoft, Sony, and Microsoft to commentary on indie hits like Palworld and Expedition 33, every video cuts through the marketing to get to what actually matters: how this industry works, who it’s failing, and why players deserve better.

Thank you!
10:00 That was "savage" but i like it.
15:50 As Marvel Rivals player, I don't think you quite nailed the issues with Marvel Rivals. Yes the issues you mentioned are absolutely present, but these mostly apply to the hardcore players. Casual players don't care about competitive ranks or hero balance that much, as long as it's not egregious. Matchmaking issues do affect casual players a bit. But I don't think that's really the core issue either. What's really testing my patience and has caused me to take a break is the reward burnout. You log in and there's literally 5 or 6 "events" waiting for you. Right now you have the battle pass, Savage Adventure, Chrono Rush, Devil Dino Hide and Seek, Blood Hunt, ESU open day. Many of which require their own purchases if you want the full rewards. There's orange exclamation points all over the place asking for my attention to new Rewards and Challenges, and when I'm actually playing the game, I find myself not picking certain heroes, not because they are poorly balanced, but because they aren't optimal to complete the challenges with. And then when it's done, I don't feel like actually playing anymore because the "job is done". This is what pushes me away from nearly all live service games. They are making me feel like I'm the one performing the service.
Before helldivers 2, I genuinely can’t remember the last time I purchased a AAA title on release.
Damn LD. I knew you were gonna deliver but you have exceeded my expectations. Sheesh. 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
I wish CEOs would watch videos like this. The state this industry is in was So preventable. But they never listen.
I am ABSOLUTELY LOVING all the fans who supported Bungie over the years get exactly what they deserve. ANYONE WHO SUPPORTS LIVE SERVICE GAMES DESERVES TO HAVE THEIR GAMES TAKEN AWAY FROM THEM, YOU DON'T DESERVE THEM.
You have the sole crack cocaine operation on the planet, and you launch it into the sun, then ask why no one is purchasing crack anymore. SMH
Yeah, I've been playing *Remnant II* a lot... hop in with some randoms, have fun for a while; hop out. 🤔😅😉🤷♂️
22:18 the problem is acknowledging the problem means they get fired for causing it, and no rich ceo like destinies ever wants to do that...
“Hulu-like menus” 💯
“We are in a state of entropy” Yes sir …This is the Final shape.
This isnt an industry issue, its a Sony issue. We have Capcom putting out banger after banger, Sega turning their backs on live service to focus on what they're best at and even Xbox seemingly getting ready to come out of the shadows. The gaming industry is in a very good spot right now imo, the spotlights just changing.
“Mighty lippy about a game that couldn’t beat the peak concurrent count of Highguard.” 😂😂😂 You didn’t have to do them like that!
LDs previous video was so prophetic i watched it after the news dropped and thought it was a response video to the news lmao. The industry should really be plugged in with Legendary Drops
Thank you so much for your solidarity
Big fan bro. Really appreciate your content style and the quality of your videos. Your hard work is paying off. You are becoming a huge influencer.
I don't think you could have hit the nail more on the head, this is a perfect analysis well done good sir.
15:11 That’s exactly why I’ve been struggling redownloading it. On one hand I’m in the “good riddance, yuh played yourself Bungie” camp. On the other it’s “dam…it’s on the right path but it’s ending..so what’s the point?”🤣. Bungie really fumbled this IP the last 5 years…
