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.

"Give them bread and circuses and they will never revolt." Makes you wonder why they're now taking away our food and entertainment, eh?
People are also forgetting, valve just won a lawsuit against the Rothschilds, and immediately got sued by the NY state attorney as well as other ongoing lawsuits. This is just a casualty of everyone going after Steam as well as the RAM and memory crisis.
The next generation of hardware is gonna be a ghost town if the world’s economy doesn’t regulate itself.
What people don't understand is RAM and computer parts are in practically everything that isn't low tech or manual operation. Cars. Calculators. Phones. Smart watches. Fridges with any kind of display screen. Most thermostats are miniature computers these days, they started moving away from the traditional dials and controls years ago. TVs. Tablets. Data centers are going to make everything more expensive which includes electricity and water.
Gaben honestly doesn't have a choice here. Ram Prices are through the fucking roof thanks to the damn AI Data Centers.
PSA: There are android emulation/indie game handheld game systems that cost anywhere from 200 to 800 dollars. You can play for example silksong on Steam using a 200dollar handheld, and tens of thousands of older games. If you just want to game, and youre able to leave the rotten 3A part behind. It is plenty affordable and accesible still!
Life is a subscription fee. Health insurance, med bills on top, car insurance, 30 and talk of 50 year mortgages, home or renter insurance, vehicle registration, taxes, everything
I still remember when people genuinely thought there was a chance the Steam Machine could be $500.
This is intentional; they want all the hardware and want to sell bandwidth via streaming subscriptions. We aren’t angry enough 🤬
My pc has lasted 2 console generations and is still doing just fine.
this hardware race of every year a new generation of nvidia cards and intel processors only made games more sloppy and less optimized...
The price of games jumped, the price of hardware jumped, the price of everything jumped. Consumers still consumed.
Had the chance to buy a new PC after 12ish years. 3k for my ultimate dream pc, thank God for bundles
These big gaming companies realized they can’t compete with Valve normally, so they resort to suing them.
The smartest game developers will recognize the lack of upgrade in the public sphere and will prioritize optimizing their games to run on a mass of older PC's to keep up sales.
this goes far deeper than just gaming. you will own NOTHING and like it you will verify who you are and like it you will eat what they tell you to drink what they tell you read what they tell you
Let it all burn down. It's needed at this point
I genuinely miss when gaming wasnt as socially acceptable as it is today, at least back then we got complete games with systems that were affordable.
Bread and circuses is dead. It's really hard to control a population when you poison the bread and price out/take away the circus.
