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. Time Stamps: 0:00 - Intro 3:37 - Stop Killing Games

"If buying isn't owning, then piracy isn't stealing" Gaming CEOs hate to read that proverb. They are out of touch and lying.
The same people said digital games would be cheaper because you don't have to manufacture and produce physical copies😂
They're acting like every single console game that existed before live service games never existed...
We have to thank PirateSoftware for being the perfect villain and crashing out at the perfect time to make the movement successful.
Megatron to Western game industry: “You are either lying or you’re stupid!!”
"You will own nothing and be happy" "don't ask questions, just consume product and then get excited for next product" "Eat the bugs"
“We’d be forced to make more singleplayer games” God if only. Take me back to that
The whole industry feels super anti-consumer. Kills my desire to check out new games
Another example of "They could just do things the right way," which is more easier and beneficial to both parties. But they refuse to do so because of greed and corruption
"If buying isnt owning, piracy isn't stealing" - Sun Tzu, The Art of War
You say that like they haven’t been lying for the past 10 years, they’ve always lied about diversity inclusivity, about micro transactions, about caring, what’s new?
I'm not buying anything from any one of those companies who are lobbying against consumers. If I own nothing, then they can own nothing too.
Just, ugh. If I spend $50 to $100 on a video game, just let me f***ing own a copy, or at least some kind of permanent content. This license crap has gone way too far.
Yet another case of "They could just do things the right way, much easier, and for the benefit of both parties. But they don't want to because of greed and corruption."
This and the bricks and minifigs scandal JUST SHOWS AND EXPOSED THE MASSIVE CORRUPTION THAT IS AMIDST.
Corpo's/politicians/journos/etc are liars. It's rule number 1: Lie. Rule number 2: Double down. Rule Number 3: Triple down if caught. Rule Number 4: Blame the Audience.
I guess what piratesoftware said makes sense now....he is a corp shill as what he said is exactly what the companies said to mislead
16:30 not cheaper, they claimed it would be cheaper, but they kept selling it at the same price as the physical copies.
Yea. Thats why idc about ownership laws. If im not allowed to own my games Ill just pirate your shit. If youre going to change the wording so will I. If buying isnt owning piracy isnt theft.
A “Data Breach” is just another way of saying we sold your data
