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.

The "modern audience" remains as elusive as the elixir of life was in the 16th century.
Legendary layoffs
“Let’s buy a bunch of studios and have them each spend most of a decade making a game that a couple thousand people play and say ‘it was ok!’” Brilliant strategy. There’s no way that’ll backfire
Man I picked a good time to switch to pc
They hired people who consistently for over a decade said they hate the source material of the IPs they're working on. They hate the audience and they hate the industry and want to burn it to the ground so they could rebuild it in their image. Well go ahead. Build something.
Well, AAA.... We warned you. You need us, the customer; we don't need you.
Just the fact that these studios take 6+ years to make the equivalent of a game from 2004 with nicer textures says everything you need to know about this industry.
So based on when these studios were bought/ been around those employees must have been mad chillin without any major expectation while at work.
13:25 Exactly what I've been saying for years. Xbox needed to shut down 343 studios years ago, well before they rebranded to "Halo Studios" (the gall). They need to get rid of every individual in that studio and start fully fresh
“We are so back….to square one.”
"We are so back!!!" -> "We are doomed..."
The newest Xbox I have is a 360, I left at a perfect time
Not to mention the one complaining about hardware costs is also the one that bought it all for the AI side in the first place, so its her fault...
if they offer a "bring your own ram" type solution, what are we even doing not just gaming on a pc at that point?
She never deserved the glazing that normies were giving her. None of the changes, including the layoffs, are her doing. Things have been rotting for a while, she is just the clean up guy.
Phil Spencer dropped a nuke and dipped
Ads in games and financing gaming is frigging insane. What a joke of a timeline we're in, glad I've been building my library with older titles. I don't need the newest or best graphics to have fun.
