Nintendo has officially lost its damn mind. The Switch 2 will record your voice and gameplay chats for up to 3 minutes—and not just locally. They’re storing it. Listening. Watching. And to even use this creepy system? You’re forced to hand over your verified cell phone number just to talk to your friends. This isn’t “safety.” This is a full-blown surveillance network disguised as a console.


In this video, I expose how the Ninten...

Randy Pitchford, the CEO of Gearbox, just said something absolutely outrageous about Borderlands 4—and fans are FURIOUS. In a shocking comment, he implied that if you can’t afford the $80 price tag, you’re not a real fan. This kind of arrogance from AAA leadership is exactly what’s killing the gaming industry. In this video, we break down the full situation, why this kind of tone-deaf corporate nonsense is unacceptable, and why Bor...

It’s time to face the facts: Bungie’s Marathon is a disaster, and Sony needs to pull the plug now. After a $3.6 billion acquisition, this game has become a monument to everything wrong with the live service obsession.


Marathon has already been internally delayed, critically slammed in playtests, and ripped apart for plagiarizing indie developers. Bungie’s leadership ignored warnings from their own devs, morale is collapsing, and...

Is Nintendo quietly pushing developers into using game-key cards on the Nintendo Switch 2? In this video, we dive deep into the controversial rise of physical Switch 2 games that are just download codes in a box.

According to a new forecast from DFC Intelligence, the Switch 2 could sell over 100 million units by 2029, making it the leading console of the next generation.

Bungie has been caught plagiarizing artwork AGAIN — this time using fan-made posters in their upcoming game Marathon. The company admitted to using the work of artist N2 (aka Anti-Real) without permission, claiming it was the fault of a "former employee" and promising to "review their processes." But this isn't the first time Bungie’s been accused of stealing designs. How many times can they get away with th...

Nintendo is pulling a bold move with the Switch 2 launch—and not in a good way. Major outlets are reporting that they won’t be receiving early review units for the Nintendo Switch 2 or its launch games like Mario Kart World. Why is Nintendo suddenly going dark? Is it really because of a “big day-one patch,” or are they trying to dodge leaks, criticism, or… something worse?

The Nintendo Switch 2 specs have finally leaked… and the internet is already melting down. People are calling it "too weak," others are convinced it’s fake, and of course, we’ve got the usual suspects comparing it to the PS5 and Xbox Series X like that even matters.

🎮 Gamers are sick of it — and rightfully so. Xbox and Nintendo just keep raising prices on consoles, controllers, and accessories in 2025. And the excuse? Tariffs.


But here’s the thing: those tariffs have already been suspended. So what exactly are we still paying for?


Is this about global market conditions... or just corporate greed?

📢 Big news for physical game collectors! At PAX East 2025, Limited Run Games officially confirmed that their Nintendo Switch 2 physical releases will come on real, full game cartridges — not download-only key cards.


That’s right: no code-in-a-box, no fake physical releases, and no massive downloads just to play. This is a major win for game preservation and for fans demanding authentic, collector-worthy Switch 2 games.

Vice thought they could cancel VTuber Kirsche with another lazy hit piece — but it’s blowing up in their face. This isn’t journalism. This is a coordinated smear campaign wrapped in Reddit posts, Twitter threads, and corporate cowardice. But the internet is fighting back.

Capcom just censored Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny Remaster — and fans are DONE staying quiet. The original game featured a bold, mature design… but now, Capcom has awkwardly slapped black fabric over female character outfits in the name of “modern sensibilities.” This isn’t a kids' game — so why censor it?


From Resident Evil 3 Remake to Dead Rising and now Onimusha, Capcom keeps rewriting its own history with toned-down des...

The Nintendo Switch 2 launches on June 5, 2025... but good luck getting one. In this video, we break down how to buy a Nintendo Switch 2 on release day, what to do if you missed pre-orders, and which retailers will (allegedly) have day one stock. Nintendo made the buying process painful with invite-only emails, vague timelines, and random restocks that no one can track. But we’ve got the strategies you need.

Nintendo Switch 2 physical games are about to get weird. Thanks to leaked info from Arc System Works, we now know that Switch 2 cartridges come in just ONE SIZE — 64GB — and it’s already creating chaos. Why are tiny games like Puyo Puyo Tetris 2S going digital-only or being sold as download cards instead of real cartridges?

Sony is ignoring every warning sign and doubling down on live service failures. After Concord bombed and cost over $500 million, they're now building another team-based live service comedy shooter that sounds just as cringe — blending genres like fighting games, MOBAs, life sims, and platformers into one chaotic mess. Despite massive backlash, Sony greenlit this project under their new “Team LFG” studio, with former devs from D...

Nintendo just admitted the Switch 2 might get even more expensive — and it’s all thanks to tariffs and greedy investors. With a $2 billion profit forecast and no price cuts in sight, gamers are about to get screwed. Are we really paying more for less? In this video, I expose Nintendo’s real plan for the Switch 2 price, sales projections, and how it could ruin launch hype.
