In this video, I react to the wild claims from Pirate Nation about the Switch 2. I break down the confusion around the die label saying "2021 tape out," and ask the real question: Was the Switch 2 originally planned for release years ago and delayed by the pandemic? If so, why does the launch lineup look so weak? Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bonanza, and a $10 demo? That's it? Let's unpack this mess.

In this video, I’m joined by Jay Viper to break down a leaked Square Enix PowerPoint presentation that reveals something shocking—no original games are planned for the foreseeable future. We react to how the company behind legendary franchises like Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts is now doubling down on remakes, reboots, and safe IP extensions instead of creating anything new. Jay and I discuss how this signals a creative crisis at Square Enix, how DEI and corporate restructuring may have gutted innovation, and what this means for the future of Japanese gaming.

I was joined by Jay Viper to dig deeper into why VICE really went after VTuber Kirsche—and Jay may have uncovered the smoking gun. According to him, it all leads back to a known internet hater named Food Shots, who made a name attacking creators and was exposed by none other than Kirsche herself. This exposé was later amplified by major voices like Rev and Asmongold, but instead of going after them, VICE and Ana Valens zeroed in on Kirsche. Why? Because she was the easier target—a smaller, independent creator who dared to call out the BS. We connect the dots, break down the hypocrisy, and show how this all reeks of targeted retaliation disguised as journalism. Source: https://youtu.be/u4LBTjpBtQk?si=CTVjaTM896AGnx8b

I’m joined by Jay Viper as we react to Kirsche Verstahl’s absolute takedown of Vice. We go through her open letter calling out the fake outrage campaign against her, the baseless Nazi accusations, and Vice’s pathetic attempt to revive 2018-style cancel culture in the VTubing space. Kirsche doesn’t just defend herself—she destroys Vice’s credibility point by point, exposing their reliance on Reddit hearsay and bad-faith reporting. This is one of the strongest clapbacks we’ve ever seen from a content creator. Sub to Jay Viper: https://www.youtube.com/@UCEqW8TVezMz6Xwa86_jHEYg

Ubisoft just confirmed what we all suspected: Assassin’s Creed Shadows is a massive failure. In this video, I break down their latest earnings call where they admit a brutal 21% drop in bookings and forecast flat sales for the year ahead. Despite their AAAA marketing hype, Ubisoft posted a €15.1M loss and expects zero growth in 2026. I explain how Shadows tanked so hard it dragged the entire company with it, and why this might be the final straw before Ubisoft goes private.

Nintendo is finally saying the quiet part out loud — even they know the Switch 2 is way too expensive. In this video, I break down That Park Place’s article covering President Furukawa’s shocking admission that the high price could hurt sales. Despite strong pre-orders, Nintendo is only forecasting 15 million units sold in year one… barely more than the original Switch. That’s not confidence — that’s damage control. I react to their bundling of Mario Kart World as a desperate attempt to soften the blow, and call out the irony of a company that once prided itself on affordability now pricing out the families who made them successful in the first place. Backward compatibility is great, but it’s not worth $400+. Let’s talk about why Nintendo might be setting themselves up for a reality check. source: https://thatparkplace.com/switch-2-forecast-falls-flat-as-nintendo-admits-high-price-tag-could-hurt-sales/

Microsoft is swinging the axe again. In this video, I react to the latest round of layoffs hitting Microsoft — this time affecting 3% of the company, which could mean over 6,800 employees are getting cut. While the company claims it’s part of streamlining management and “positioning for success,” it’s hard to ignore the timing and the impact this might have on Xbox, Bethesda, and even Activision Blizzard. After laying off 1,900 in gaming last year, this could be yet another hit to morale and stability across Microsoft’s entire gaming division. Is this really about efficiency — or is it more fallout from overexpansion and corporate bloat?

In this video, I react to the latest media narrative trying to paint Neil Druckmann and Naughty Dog as eternal victims—again. The article pushes the idea that Tati Gabrielle, star of Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, is already facing “hate” just for being cast in a game… but let’s be honest here: this backlash was earned. Druckmann knows exactly what kind of reaction he's courting—just like with The Last of Us Part II. When you deliberately push divisive themes, kill off fan-favorite characters, mock your critics, and then try to frame any pushback as bigotry or misogyny, you’re not a victim—you’re an instigator.
