  [UNKNOWN]: Shepard, promise me you'll tell them to subscribe for a free content.
• 0:04
  [UNKNOWN]: Now I was just thinking to myself, where should we even start?
• 0:07
  [UNKNOWN]: And I was like, oh, I found the perfect place.
• 0:13
  [UNKNOWN]: You guys, as Valve, as a company, you know, the very profitable.
• 0:21
  [UNKNOWN]: And...
• 0:22
  [UNKNOWN]: As far as them being driven by steam, 30% commissions on games, like the entire gaming industry reminds you, they're on steam, they get 30% cut from that.
• 0:31
  [UNKNOWN]: So, as far as estimates, 2.2 billion and 2021.
• 0:38
  [UNKNOWN]: Up, 15% era over here, scaling to 13 billion total, as far as 10 billion from steam and 2022.
• 0:49
  [UNKNOWN]: But hold of now.
• 0:50
  [UNKNOWN]: That's not even it.
• 0:52
  [UNKNOWN]: 2025 projection show that 17 billion dollars, just billion, ladies and gentlemen, will be coming from steam alone without taking a four billion dollar cut.
• 1:09
  [UNKNOWN]: And of course, I'll probably be thinking to you so, what about the overhead?
• 1:13
  [UNKNOWN]: Well,
• 1:15
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm glad you asked.
• 1:17
  [UNKNOWN]: As Valve has 350 employees, they generate massive per head profits, 50 million revenue slash employee in recent estimates.
• 1:30
  [UNKNOWN]: So then you look at the hardware as far as the deck slash estimate steam machine, we're about to get into for this specific segment.
• 1:36
  [UNKNOWN]: But overall, you look at the lower margin segment.
• 1:41
  [UNKNOWN]: But of course,
• 1:44
  [UNKNOWN]: the overall ecosystem.
• 1:46
  [UNKNOWN]: Valve is making way more money than in prior years where high margins, grossing 75% and operating at 58% historically, easily, covering the overhead.
• 2:00
  [UNKNOWN]: Shepherd, just look at the state of gaming.
• 2:03
  [UNKNOWN]: Like, what is going on?
• 2:04
  [UNKNOWN]: No, I know you're already saying it.
• 2:08
  [UNKNOWN]: What is he saying all these random analytics for?
• 2:11
  [UNKNOWN]: Well, first, you know, it's not random over here in the Torres Mass fake.
• 2:14
  [UNKNOWN]: You know, we get into the gaming and music.
• 2:15
  [UNKNOWN]: I piece that notoriously affect the masses and safe to say valve, solve a particular market and they try to capitalize off of it as far as the PC console hybrid.
• 2:25
  [UNKNOWN]: But then you realize that the actual price for the steam machine that we're getting into for this specific segment it just very much missed the mark.
• 2:38
  [UNKNOWN]: as the steam machine, which is a compact gaming PC slash console hybrid, running steam OS will be $1,000.
• 2:47
  [UNKNOWN]: And no, not only $1,000, $1128 for the 512 gigabyte version, plus the steam controller, for some reason.
• 3:04
  [UNKNOWN]: They decide to make a version without the controller.
• 3:07
  [UNKNOWN]: How are you gonna play?
• 3:07
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't know if I get out.
• 3:08
  [UNKNOWN]: Oh, they do.
• 3:09
  [UNKNOWN]: Use your mind, you know what I'm saying?
• 3:11
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm off.
• 3:11
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm about to see a spider-man movie.
• 3:13
  [UNKNOWN]: Hey, tell the Kinesa Jean great about to show you how to do it.
• 3:15
  [UNKNOWN]: So anyways, they're releasing the steam machine without a controller.
• 3:21
  [UNKNOWN]: And that will run you about $1,000 and $40,000.
• 3:23
  [UNKNOWN]: So he thought I was going to be under $1,000.
• 3:27
  [UNKNOWN]: Valve wouldn't take money.
• 3:27
  [UNKNOWN]: All right.
• 3:29
  [UNKNOWN]: So anyways, then you have the two terabyte version without the controller being $1349.
• 3:34
  [UNKNOWN]: And then you have the two terabyte version plus the steam controller being $1400 and $28.
• 3:41
  [UNKNOWN]: $1428.
• 3:46
  [UNKNOWN]: You come to realize that Valve sentiment, when it comes to the hardware prices, have not changed.
• 3:52
  [UNKNOWN]: They've been told y'all how they feel about subsidizing, as Valve came out and said, quote, it does not subsidize like Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo.
• 4:05
  [UNKNOWN]: They aim for near cost or small margin pricing to avoid locking down the open PC ecosystem.
• 4:14
  [UNKNOWN]: Early decks, or sometimes painful.
• 4:18
  [UNKNOWN]: But meaning, near or slight loss on some's use.
• 4:22
  [UNKNOWN]: But higher models, ran margins.
• 4:24
  [UNKNOWN]: They absorb the esteemed profits without deep subsides.
• 4:29
  [UNKNOWN]: So that makes me come to the ultimate point.
• 4:32
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I'm saying, just look at the state of gaming.
• 4:34
  [UNKNOWN]: Well, looking at it, what is going on?
• 4:37
  [UNKNOWN]: The gaming industry is getting to a point where it's just outpricing the average consumer.
• 4:42
  [UNKNOWN]: And that's just a shame, man.
• 4:43
  [UNKNOWN]: This is a shame.
• 4:45
  [UNKNOWN]: Because over here at Natorio's Mass Effect, when me being able to do this full time, you know, me thank to y'all support, you know, thanks to y'all support and so.
• 4:52
  [UNKNOWN]: Rogers, I just gave him praise, bro.
• 4:57
  [UNKNOWN]: Anyways, so thank y'all for the tremendous support to make this like a full time thing.
• 5:01
  [UNKNOWN]: So obviously, when it comes to the steam machine, you're probably thinking to yourself, well, are you gonna get it?
• 5:09
  [UNKNOWN]: Of course not, I'm still not getting the steam machine because me I'm thinking like you know what I do have one PC I know content creates they usually have to you know to like help out with the load as far as one doing Motto task in as far as OPS things that they're nature and the other actually running the game But then you come to realize the steam is about a thousand dollars not about it is is a thousand dollars and
• 5:35
  [UNKNOWN]: it doesn't even come up to certain specs of consoles that's way cheaper.
• 5:40
  [UNKNOWN]: You look at the steam deck as far as the actual specs and it's weaker than a PS5 slash Xbox Series X.
• 5:52
  [UNKNOWN]: And it performs like a lower mid PS4.
• 5:59
  [UNKNOWN]: and is performs exactly like a PS4 Pro.
• 6:04
  [UNKNOWN]: So you probably think, see, so, what does that mean?
• 6:07
  [UNKNOWN]: Well, it's gonna get a little bit more nerdy because now we have to get into the actual specs.
• 6:11
  [UNKNOWN]: As when you look at the Steam Deck specs, as a custom AMD APU, and when you look at that as far as in totality of
• 6:23
  [UNKNOWN]: The lower mid PS4, you have 1.6 T-flops, 16 gigabytes of, well, you need to have 1 terabyte SSD, and then you have 15 lots of TDP, I don't know what TDP is, I mean, but then you look at PS4 Pro.
• 6:42
  [UNKNOWN]: where they both run games around the 30 to 60 frames per second with tweaks, right?
• 6:47
  [UNKNOWN]: And that is ultimately weaker than the PS5 slacks, a slash Xbox Series X that runs at 10 to 12 terror flops.
• 6:56
  [UNKNOWN]: I think steam deck being horrendously underpowered and being overtly priced is just an unfortunate scenario in the game community.
• 7:07
  [UNKNOWN]: It was like, come on, Val.
• 7:08
  [UNKNOWN]: Look at the state of the room for you.
• 7:10
  [UNKNOWN]: What is going on?
• 7:11
  [UNKNOWN]: You know, the next Xbox console is reportedly a PC console hybrid.
• 7:17
  [UNKNOWN]: Now, I believe Xbox does a phenomenal job on putting our very powerful hardware, which
• 7:24
  [UNKNOWN]: makes me realize that it's probably going to be way more than a thousand now because they're looking at the steam machine like hey hold on now you're okay with that and you price it away so this is going to continue into consoles now being way more than a thousand because they're going to be way more powerful than the steam machine and the steam machine the steam machine's main purpose
• 7:46
  [UNKNOWN]: is to be a PC console hybrid.
• 7:48
  [UNKNOWN]: If it was a PC, it'd be way more powerful, but they was trying to make a cost-effective PC console hybrid for people who just wanted a, this is like a name for it.
• 7:59
  [UNKNOWN]: For people who wanted a small form factor type of PC build with the steam system, as far as, what was the card again, the steam OS system, and to it, which is very intuitive and user-friendly.
• 8:14
  [UNKNOWN]: Now you come to realize the power of that specific machine is so underperform it as far as compared to the current console.
• 8:24
  [UNKNOWN]: It's not even like the future console.
• 8:27
  [UNKNOWN]: It's underperforming when it comes to the current PS5's and Xbox Series X and S's of the world.
• 8:32
  [UNKNOWN]: So we can only imagine how much the PS6 and the next Xbox is going to cost.
• 8:37
  [UNKNOWN]: As I think as of right now,
• 8:42
  [UNKNOWN]: with the steam machine.
• 8:43
  [UNKNOWN]: The only way it can counteract this horrendous PR because when I first saw the price is I was like, no, I ain't the way I know who I think it is.
• 8:51
  [UNKNOWN]: I was like, no, bro, that's steam.
• 8:53
  [UNKNOWN]: That's valve.
• 8:54
  [UNKNOWN]: They got money for days.
• 8:55
  [UNKNOWN]: There's no way they would try to squeeze money out of the consumer like this.
• 8:58
  [UNKNOWN]: It's almost like they try to copy Nintendo's format because if you don't know.
• 9:02
  [UNKNOWN]: The reason why a lot of Nintendo first party titles have their certain graphics that they have is to make the ultimate cost of development lower.
• 9:13
  [UNKNOWN]: And of course, when it comes to the hardware, they sell it at a specific price point to where they make a, or they basically recoup.
• 9:22
  [UNKNOWN]: So whenever Val threw Nintendo's name in there, as far as not being a company who's going
• 9:31
  [UNKNOWN]: But Nintendo doesn't do that.
• 9:32
  [UNKNOWN]: So you obviously saw a marketing strategy that you wanted to align yourself with, instead of align yourself with other companies that put our actual powerful hardware at a justifiable price.
• 9:47
  [UNKNOWN]: So anyways.
• 9:49
  [UNKNOWN]: This is a horrendous L for valve.
• 9:52
  [UNKNOWN]: I think when it comes to the steam machine, if you don't know, once again, it is running into steam OS.
• 9:57
  [UNKNOWN]: It's going to have 8 gigabytes of V-RAM.
• 10:01
  [UNKNOWN]: It has 16 gigabytes of DDR5 RAM.
• 10:05
  [UNKNOWN]: And of course, when it comes to the compact 6 by 6-inch design, that's the best thing it has going for it as far as they're being small.
• 10:14
  [UNKNOWN]: As far as I'm advertising 4K, 60 FPS,
• 10:17
  [UNKNOWN]: Reviewers literally got their hands on it and a little drink video on Spotify to see the video along with the audio because I currently have a video not this video but the next one I guess I could play that now the next video
• 10:28
  [UNKNOWN]: I have with somebody having a, well, not somebody, the ETA prime having hands on time with this specific valve machine as you can see right now.
• 10:36
  [UNKNOWN]: So once again, analytic dreams video on Spotify to see the video along with the audio because I'm currently showing the hands on breakdown of the steam machine specs.
• 10:44
  [UNKNOWN]: So anyways, valve advertised for a KFPS.
• 10:48
  [UNKNOWN]: Ladies and gentlemen, it doesn't run at all.
• 10:49
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, I'm saying I'm like, oh, no, you guys.
• 10:52
  [UNKNOWN]: Did they just lie to us?
• 10:53
  [UNKNOWN]: Did they just lie straight to our face?
• 10:55
  [UNKNOWN]: Anyways, so,
• 10:57
  [UNKNOWN]: Now that you come to realize that actual reviewers with hands on time are saying they barely performs like a PS4 Pro, not even powerful, like the PS5 or the Xbox Series X and S, you're gonna realize that the price increase doesn't make sense.
• 11:13
  [UNKNOWN]: You can say it's market factors, but it's a very underperforming type of hardware.
• 11:19
  [UNKNOWN]: And now, I think,
• 11:22
  [UNKNOWN]: with your multi-core performance and the lack of history you have of putting out consoles, it could be over before it even starts.
• 11:34
  [UNKNOWN]: And the reason why I say this is because the steam machine, not my fault, the steam deck, which is the handheld valve product, the steam deck is a phenomenal piece of hardware.
• 11:44
  [UNKNOWN]: And until you realize, they raised the price of the
• 11:50
  [UNKNOWN]: hardware too as when it launched in 2022 as far as the steam deck it was $399 for the 256 gigabyte version and then
• 12:01
  [UNKNOWN]: It was, well, let me see if I could find this right quick.
• 12:03
  [UNKNOWN]: Okay, so February 2022 for the LCD models, it was $399 for the 64 gigabyte, $529 for the 256 gigabyte, and $649 for the 512 gigabyte.
• 12:08
  [UNKNOWN]: Now, it increased in price November 2023.
• 12:09
  [UNKNOWN]: With the OLED refresh, me 549 as far as 512 gigabyte, $649.
• 12:27
  [UNKNOWN]: for the one-terabyte version, which basically the OLED had improved screen battery, Wi-Fi, LCD, phased, yeah, basically LCD phased out by late 2025.
• 12:38
  [UNKNOWN]: So now when you look at the OLED, that's all we have right now as far as the upgrade it, steamed it.
• 12:43
  [UNKNOWN]: Valve took it upon themselves three years later to have a humuggish price height no and I a little hundred two well it was too early not a little hundred dollar or a hundred fifty dollar price increase but a whopping two hundred and forty dollar increase for the old-aid five hundred and twelve gigabyte version and a whopping three hundred dollar increase for the one-terabyte version had me think it to myself man shepherd this is crazy just look at the state of gaming like
• 13:07
  [UNKNOWN]: What is going on?
• 13:08
  [UNKNOWN]: It's almost like that old phrase of you see yourself, you love long enough to become the villain, because it's like Valve had such consumer-friendly practices, I mean free internet as far as being able to play, internet games where I have an subscription.
• 13:24
  [UNKNOWN]: because PS Plus, in Xbox subscriptions, they exist as far as having to play online, Steam doesn't have that.
• 13:29
  [UNKNOWN]: So they have that going for it for them, which is very pro-consumer, hopefully they don't change that.
• 13:34
  [UNKNOWN]: A Misty's price hikes.
• 13:35
  [UNKNOWN]: And of course, when they come to the actual Steam website,
• 13:39
  [UNKNOWN]: you could find so many popular games on sale through like just wishlisting a game and it will actually notify you on when the game goes on sale.
• 13:48
  [UNKNOWN]: So Valve has like all these different sales that Nintendo never puts their like top performing games on sale.
• 13:54
  [UNKNOWN]: Like a magazine, the Pokemon game on sale, but you would have caught a shiny yourself.
• 13:59
  [UNKNOWN]: You know something?
• 13:59
  [UNKNOWN]: All right, my phone.
• 14:00
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm trying to make a Pokemon pun.
• 14:02
  [UNKNOWN]: Anyways, and then you have, um,
• 14:04
  [UNKNOWN]: PlayStation and Xbox and they rarely like dropped their prices even when they do is not as much as steam.
• 14:09
  [UNKNOWN]: So steam you could fill up your library really quick.
• 14:12
  [UNKNOWN]: So those are some of the pros pro consumer tactics that valve through well that steam has.
• 14:18
  [UNKNOWN]: And so you would think with valve they would try to align themselves more with these pro consumer type strategies instead of raising the prices.
• 14:25
  [UNKNOWN]: But here we are and I've already gotten to like why RAM hasn't creased because
• 14:32
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, January 30th of this year, I talked about how ram prices or skyrocketing a region new high suggesting that there may be no end in sight.
• 14:39
  [UNKNOWN]: So already talked about that in that specific segment, if you want to look it up, I would have a podcast platform, listen to podcasts on.
• 14:45
  [UNKNOWN]: So basically, to make it short, AI, and
• 14:50
  [UNKNOWN]: Ayah, that's it.
• 14:52
  [UNKNOWN]: Ayah is really driving prices through the roof.
• 14:55
  [UNKNOWN]: Who told every single company to make all these humongous data centers drinking a ball of clean water, firing all the humans, like who told them to make all these adjustments when it came to Ayah?
• 15:06
  [UNKNOWN]: Nobody.
• 15:07
  [UNKNOWN]: But guess what?
• 15:07
  [UNKNOWN]: Now they did it.
• 15:08
  [UNKNOWN]: They're citing economic reasons for why their prices are increasing, like they didn't create their problem in the first place.
• 15:15
  [UNKNOWN]: You know what I'm saying?
• 15:16
  [UNKNOWN]: See that's the problem.
• 15:19
  [UNKNOWN]: Now that we're in this state of gaming, that is very much, is it was already an expensive hobby, and it's not an necessity, food, water, shelter.
• 15:31
  [UNKNOWN]: That's a necessity, gaming is not, gaming is a hobby that you do as you can afford it.
• 15:36
  [UNKNOWN]: It was already like that.
• 15:38
  [UNKNOWN]: Now is getting to the point where,
• 15:42
  [UNKNOWN]: even the middle class is going to start being like, I don't know, that may be too rich from my blood.
• 15:50
  [UNKNOWN]: So for me, and a totality of gaming, I don't think I've ever seen a time where so many different companies are just raising prices without any consideration for the average,
• 16:06
  [UNKNOWN]: hardworking man or woman.
• 16:08
  [UNKNOWN]: They are basically like, to you know what with it, which is going to focus on the high middle class, to, to, to, to the top class.
• 16:17
  [UNKNOWN]: But basically, I don't think it's going to revert any time soon, especially with the current landscape that we in, of course, is not political practice.
• 16:27
  [UNKNOWN]: But,
• 16:28
  [UNKNOWN]: If you was wanting a solution, because you know, I don't try to get problems without solution.
• 16:32
  [UNKNOWN]: So if you was wanting a solution, I dare look up a certain things as far as you could, um, if you was actually wanting a small form factor type of PC build that's not underpowered like the steam machine.
• 16:43
  [UNKNOWN]: Basically, you could buy many PCs or small form factor PCs, um,
• 16:51
  [UNKNOWN]: At, let me see.
• 16:52
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, be link slide.
• 16:53
  [UNKNOWN]: This is not an ad.
• 16:54
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm just trying to help you all out if you just want a small form factor PC or if you just want another PC To go along with your main PC because even I'm looking at this because I've been wanting to upgrade to a two PC setup I thought the steam machine was going to be it.
• 17:06
  [UNKNOWN]: That's not so anyways be link slash mini forms rise and minis Apparently that $350 to $600
• 17:14
  [UNKNOWN]: with stronger iGPUs for 1080p slash 1440p and you have some small form factor steam OS bills under 250 to 400 and basically what you should look for is the AMD Ryzen 5 slash 7 plus the 16 to 32 gigabyte surround.
• 17:33
  [UNKNOWN]: So that means it.
• 17:34
  [UNKNOWN]: You know, you can thank me later, you know what I mean?
• 17:36
  [UNKNOWN]: Just trying to help you allow, you know, give you a little solution throughout this very, you know, it's saddening news, because we thought Valve was definitely going to shake up the industry with the steam machine, but it seems like it may be dead on arrival, honestly, because Xbox is reportedly making a console PC hybrid just like to,
• 17:56
  [UNKNOWN]: just like this and we don't know what the price is going to be but we can already assume that's going to be way more powerful because Xbox usually good at keeping up with the times as far as having an impressive hardware.
• 18:07
  [UNKNOWN]: So let me say I just want to make sure I didn't miss anything but yeah the steam machine man not only did y'all let Nas down but you'll like the game community down as well.
• 18:17
  [UNKNOWN]: Shepard said the industry just look at the state of gaming.
• 18:20
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean goodness what is going
• 18:22
  [UNKNOWN]: So that being said, click my links here in my bio to follow me on my social medias and of course if you're on Spotify comment down below what is something valve could do besides raising the besides lowering the prices because that's obvious but what something besides lowering the prices team could do of valve could do to make you even think of getting a steam machine.
• 18:43
  [UNKNOWN]: Shepard, promise me you'll tell them to subscribe for a free content.
• 18:47
  [UNKNOWN]: Now, of course, you already know that, hey, come on.
• 18:51
  [UNKNOWN]: Just look at the state of game.
• 18:52
  [UNKNOWN]: I was trying to, like, what is going on?
• 18:54
  [UNKNOWN]: Now, of course, when it comes to notorious mass effect, we get into the gaming and music I piece that notoriously affect the masses.
• 19:01
  [UNKNOWN]: So when it comes to this specific news, I got to bring you all.
• 19:05
  [UNKNOWN]: You guys, she does the problem.
• 19:08
  [UNKNOWN]: It's a sad day in history.
• 19:09
  [UNKNOWN]: But then you know what I'm saying?
• 19:10
  [UNKNOWN]: I was like,
• 19:14
  [UNKNOWN]: is Microsoft having Xbox increased their prices by 100 for the Xbox Series S, 512 gigabyte version, increase in the price by $150 for the Xbox Series X to 1TB version.
• 19:29
  [UNKNOWN]: Increasing the Xbox Series X digital version as far as the one terabyte by $150 again, and then of course, increasing the Xbox Series X Disc version for one terabyte with another $150 increase simply put all the Xbox current gen prices are going up
• 19:50
  [UNKNOWN]: Shepard.
• 19:52
  [UNKNOWN]: Just look at the state of gaming.
• 19:53
  [UNKNOWN]: Like, what is going on?
• 19:55
  [UNKNOWN]: And before we take a moment of silence, I'm not going to lie to you.
• 19:58
  [UNKNOWN]: Usually, I try to let you know why this is occurring.
• 20:03
  [UNKNOWN]: And for this specific segment, we have to blame steam because, of course, the steam machine came out with this price where I think it's about
• 20:16
  [UNKNOWN]: A thousand, yeah, it's a thousand and forty-nine dollars for the five hundred and twelve gigabyte version.
• 20:21
  [UNKNOWN]: And that is without the controller.
• 20:23
  [UNKNOWN]: How are you going to play the steam machine without a controller?
• 20:26
  [UNKNOWN]: That's what?
• 20:27
  [UNKNOWN]: Valve wants you to figure it out.
• 20:29
  [UNKNOWN]: They want you to turn into modern day Jean Grey.
• 20:31
  [UNKNOWN]: All right, my fault.
• 20:32
  [UNKNOWN]: Back to what I'll say.
• 20:33
  [UNKNOWN]: So when it comes to the steam machine being a thousand and forty-nine dollars, safe to say whenever the specs came out, the masses were basically saying to themselves,
• 20:44
  [UNKNOWN]: You're telling me, a console that is about to come out is already outdated.
• 20:49
  [UNKNOWN]: You guys, see that's the problem.
• 20:52
  [UNKNOWN]: As when it comes to the current giant consoles, I mean, of course, you know, it is powerful than Nintendo Switch 2, so it has that going for it.
• 20:58
  [UNKNOWN]: You know what I'm saying, shout the bell, right?
• 21:01
  [UNKNOWN]: But in all seriousness, when it comes to the Xbox Series X and the PS5, it's a really underpowered.
• 21:08
  [UNKNOWN]: But when it comes to the Xbox Series S, it's
• 21:12
  [UNKNOWN]: slightly comparable, as far as on the same level when it comes to the actual specs as what I'm going to get to the GPU and CPU and RAM of the steam machine because we're currently talking about Xbox.
• 21:24
  [UNKNOWN]: I just want to let you know that a console that's already out and is going to be more powerful than a console that's yet to come out as far as the steam machine and that specific console is priced at $1,000 without the controller.
• 21:38
  [UNKNOWN]: So with that being said,
• 21:43
  [UNKNOWN]: The game is about to put it with this, but then you know, I'm saying, I was like, Oh, raise the prices exponentially because if we have more powerful hardware, why are we still at the $70, $50 range and why is Xbox Series X the this version said that $800.
• 22:00
  [UNKNOWN]: We need to raise that.
• 22:01
  [UNKNOWN]: Well, no, my fault.
• 22:02
  [UNKNOWN]: That's the new prices.
• 22:03
  [UNKNOWN]: Basically, they were like the Xbox Series X digital version for the one terabyte.
• 22:08
  [UNKNOWN]: That was $599, all right.
• 22:11
  [UNKNOWN]: And then they increased at the $750.
• 22:13
  [UNKNOWN]: And then you have the Xbox Series X, the disc version with the one terabyte.
• 22:18
  [UNKNOWN]: That was $649, and they increased that to $800.
• 22:23
  [UNKNOWN]: Simply put, I think those suit consoles being more powerful than the steam machine led Microsoft to believe that they should
• 22:31
  [UNKNOWN]: Follow up on steam machines horrendous PR that's currently going on and increase the price of a console that's objectively speaking way more powerful than it and it's still under the steam machine price, but then you come to realize while they also raise the prices of the Xbox Series S, as far as the 512 can get by version and the one terabyte version, if
• 22:56
  [UNKNOWN]: The steam machine is going to have better, well, slightly comparable specs and it's a PC console hybrid.
• 23:03
  [UNKNOWN]: And when it comes to the Xbox Series S, being $100 increase as far as the 512GB version.
• 23:11
  [UNKNOWN]: And then when it comes to the 1TB version, being increased by $150.
• 23:14
  [UNKNOWN]: That means that now the Xbox Series S is going from $399 to $499.
• 23:20
  [UNKNOWN]: And then the Xbox Series as one terabyte version is going from 449 to 599 dollars.
• 23:26
  [UNKNOWN]: So essentially I'm blaming the steam machine, but of course it's not like we're letting Microsoft on a hook.
• 23:33
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm just letting you know who started it in the first place.
• 23:38
  [UNKNOWN]: That's the problem.
• 23:39
  [UNKNOWN]: Gamers want to know if GTA 6 is going to set the precedent for new AAA games as far as the price point, they need to be asking, didn't it tend to, not, not Nintendo, my thought.
• 23:49
  [UNKNOWN]: They'd valve just due to unthinkable as far as setting the precedent for these egregious prices for out of day hardware.
• 23:56
  [UNKNOWN]: Because you already know that Xbox is working on a new console titled the Project Helix, I believe.
• 24:02
  [UNKNOWN]: I think right now it's titled the Project Helix.
• 24:06
  [UNKNOWN]: They are definitely shooting for a very powerful piece of hardware, as far as them also going the PC console hybrid route.
• 24:14
  [UNKNOWN]: So I want to be surprised if it costs between $1,600 to $1,800.
• 24:20
  [UNKNOWN]: Now of course, I'm not advocating for it.
• 24:22
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm just looking at the steam machine and the 512 gigabyte version being at $1,000, the two terabyte version being at $1,140, $9, and I'll take it to myself.
• 24:32
  [UNKNOWN]: Project Helix is going to at least be $2,300.
• 24:36
  [UNKNOWN]: more expensive than the steam machine.
• 24:38
  [UNKNOWN]: So now we're setting the standard for what newer consoles are going to cost for the average everyday consumer for gamers out there.
• 24:47
  [UNKNOWN]: And I believe when it comes to the industry as a whole, this is going to be a bubble that ultimately bursts because of course the reason for this is because of the AI I was going to get into in a second and all the data centers I was also going to get into in a second.
• 25:06
  [UNKNOWN]: The gaming industry is struggling with the profits, not being on the same level that it was in COVID, in COVID, gaming grew to an exponential level.
• 25:20
  [UNKNOWN]: And then it came back to reality once everybody was able to go back outside and they had a plethora of options.
• 25:25
  [UNKNOWN]: When everybody was locked in the house, playing,
• 25:28
  [UNKNOWN]: Whatever type of video game they was getting lost in, the gaming industry was celebrating they was throwing celebrations, they was through the roof.
• 25:36
  [UNKNOWN]: And now that they've came back to Earth, as far as the reality of the situation, as far as people have a more options for entertainment, I think we're seeing companies not only lay people off, because Xbox, or Microsoft, had laid it off numerous amount of people, but of course, when it comes, I think I actually had the numbers for the layoffs,
• 25:55
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't know if it's on here, um, oh, that's not typed in.
• 25:59
  [UNKNOWN]: Okay.
• 26:00
  [UNKNOWN]: Well, when it comes to the layoffs, I think the gaming industry is just basically reverting back to what he used to have because everybody started to raise the overhand because of the COVID, uh, uh, basically COVID raising all the revenue prices for every single gaming company.
• 26:16
  [UNKNOWN]: So,
• 26:17
  [UNKNOWN]: The main thing that I want to get across, and this specific segment is why this is happening, what does this mean for gaming, what is like for the future of gaming, ultimately I'm going to leave you with those two points, and then you get to decide for yourself if you want to still participate in gaming, because gaming has always been an expensive hobby.
• 26:34
  [UNKNOWN]: But nowadays, it's getting to the point where if you're a little Timmy and you see a console with four figures,
• 26:42
  [UNKNOWN]: They mean I didn't be able to count before, you know what I'm saying?
• 26:45
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, um, they made me looking at their price, they could tell themselves, how in the world could I even fix my face?
• 26:52
  [UNKNOWN]: To ask my parents for a thousand dollar console.
• 26:56
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean five to six hundred I mean that's already a lie, but I kid you now if a little kids go go to the store and they see something that has a thousand plus they might as well just think it's a million dollars in their brain.
• 27:09
  [UNKNOWN]: So while they even fix the face to ask their parents for a console and when I'm talking about middle-aged people as far as who may be in college down bad under the look have no type of revenue coming in
• 27:23
  [UNKNOWN]: Then I'm thinking to themselves, how in the world would I be able to give out a thousand plus dollars to a console, I may play every now and then, because for me, obviously this is my full-time job, so I could logically come to the conclusion of, okay, I could buy this and probably recoup.
• 27:43
  [UNKNOWN]: somebody else who this isn't a full-time job or is barely even a hobby how are they even logically come to the conclusion of needing a thousand-plus dollar console unless they're going to play multiple amounts of games on that console even that's more expensive.
• 27:59
  [UNKNOWN]: I think for the future of gaming, this is going to be a bubble that bursts and we're going to see a lot more announcements like Xbox had because you know, they rose to prices in, uh, well, they rose to prices today for all the consoles, but they did have some type of pro consumer tactic as,
• 28:15
  [UNKNOWN]: Whenever I covered, uh, yeah, I covered this April 26, 26, how Xbox slashes the game past ultimate price by $7, but the caveat was they removed the Call of Duty perk.
• 28:26
  [UNKNOWN]: I believe companies are going to start to come to the realization that if you keep increasing the prices, people are just simply not going to pay for it.
• 28:34
  [UNKNOWN]: So you're going to have to revert some of the pricing creases that we already saw Xbox doing with the Xbox game past.
• 28:41
  [UNKNOWN]: So the future of gaming to me is
• 28:45
  [UNKNOWN]: basically group economics.
• 28:47
  [UNKNOWN]: If everybody's six together and don't advocate for these type of price increases, just watch how fast more news comes out like Xbox slash in the game past ultimate price by seven dollars.
• 29:02
  [UNKNOWN]: You will be surprised on how fast a company will revert on their price increases just for competitive advantages.
• 29:09
  [UNKNOWN]: Because don't forget ladies and gentlemen.
• 29:12
  [UNKNOWN]: PlayStation 5, PS5 is currently just killing Xbox Series X in this right now, like it's not even close.
• 29:18
  [UNKNOWN]: There's no type of console where if somebody who's on the Xbox fandom, because of course me, I try to keep it objective and fair.
• 29:24
  [UNKNOWN]: But for somebody who's on the Xbox team, San T. itself that they're still a console we're going on.
• 29:29
  [UNKNOWN]: Tell that man.
• 29:30
  [UNKNOWN]: Tell that woman.
• 29:31
  [UNKNOWN]: What?
• 29:31
  [UNKNOWN]: What?
• 29:32
  [UNKNOWN]: What?
• 29:32
  [UNKNOWN]: What?
• 29:33
  [UNKNOWN]: What?
• 29:33
  [UNKNOWN]: What?
• 29:34
  [UNKNOWN]: What?
• 29:34
  [UNKNOWN]: What?
• 29:34
  [UNKNOWN]: What?
• 29:36
  [UNKNOWN]: What?
• 29:36
  [UNKNOWN]: What?
• 29:41
  [UNKNOWN]: The console war is completely non-existent.
• 29:43
  [UNKNOWN]: As the PS5 has sold 89 to 90 million units versus the Xbox Series XNs, selling collectively, 34 million.
• 29:53
  [UNKNOWN]: So basically, PlayStation is holding 72 to 73% of the current GM market share versus Xbox's 27%.
• 30:04
  [UNKNOWN]: And then you come to realize that Microsoft saw all those numbers and they said to themselves Let's increase the prices on our consoles as already losing out the PlayStation make that make sense ladies and gentlemen As of course Xbox or of course Microsoft came out and gave a reason they basically said the reason why we're increasing the prices
• 30:27
  [UNKNOWN]: is because let me see if I can find this.
• 30:28
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, the reason why we're increasing the prices is because the console storage and memory prices have risen more than 2.5 times.
• 30:37
  [UNKNOWN]: Then then 2.5 x and basically 150% increase, well, 150% plus increase.
• 30:44
  [UNKNOWN]: And Microsoft came out and said as well, Microsoft expects those costs to double again by fall 2027.
• 30:53
  [UNKNOWN]: And the Xbox leadership also projected the company could be paying five time more for storage and memory at 2027 than they did at 2024 translation.
• 31:04
  [UNKNOWN]: Everything's probably going to cost three to five times more by the time we get the 2027 2028.
• 31:11
  [UNKNOWN]: What does that tell you about the gaming industry?
• 31:13
  [UNKNOWN]: It basically lets you know that they can care less about your dollars.
• 31:18
  [UNKNOWN]: So in turn, we're gonna make everything more expensive.
• 31:21
  [UNKNOWN]: It's almost as if they looked at the bottom line, saw that they was losing the PlayStation, saw that they was not competing in the console around.
• 31:30
  [UNKNOWN]: And the only type of conclusion they could come to is if we have less players, less charge than more.
• 31:36
  [UNKNOWN]: And that's just unfortunate.
• 31:38
  [UNKNOWN]: That's the problem.
• 31:40
  [UNKNOWN]: As of course, even though all of these are obstacles for them to get over, I've basically given them a bunch of solutions, well, I say solution.
• 31:47
  [UNKNOWN]: Basically, I've tried to give solutions, because I don't like talking about the problem while giving a couple of solutions that actually, like, that's actionable items I'm not paying in.
• 31:56
  [UNKNOWN]: If y'all remember, when I talked about, what was a name?
• 32:00
  [UNKNOWN]: Sarah Bond?
• 32:01
  [UNKNOWN]: Is that what I'm seeing?
• 32:03
  [UNKNOWN]: That was a name, right?
• 32:04
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, while I talked about Phil Spencer and Sarah Bond leaving and I talked about Oshia coming in, I basically advocated for them that lower the prices on the game pads.
• 32:12
  [UNKNOWN]: I thought that was the most unique thing that had going for them.
• 32:15
  [UNKNOWN]: But then you come to realize that actually cut the game pads prices.
• 32:18
  [UNKNOWN]: Now, I'm not saying like, oh, they listen to me and they cut the prices.
• 32:21
  [UNKNOWN]: But I think I get pretty solid advice.
• 32:22
  [UNKNOWN]: That's all I'm saying, here I'm saying, not too crazy.
• 32:25
  [UNKNOWN]: So, as of right now, I believe,
• 32:29
  [UNKNOWN]: The way that they're going about to pay now, oh no, buy now pay later.
• 32:34
  [UNKNOWN]: Y'all gonna get mad at me, but I think it may be the best solution.
• 32:38
  [UNKNOWN]: Now I'm just saying it.
• 32:39
  [UNKNOWN]: Like they came out and they officially said that you can buy now pay later through partners, through Microsoft Partnering with PayPal.
• 32:50
  [UNKNOWN]: corner, affirm, and flexible payments such as paying for installments over weeks and months up to or up to 24 months on consoles, games, and accessories.
• 33:00
  [UNKNOWN]: No subscription required, eligibility base, helps affordability, of course, amid the price heights.
• 33:05
  [UNKNOWN]: So,
• 33:06
  [UNKNOWN]: I think that's a semi-W move.
• 33:09
  [UNKNOWN]: If you're going to increase the prices, I like the way that they're increasing the options of even getting that console, because at first glance, you may think this is a terrible idea, but some people out there who are very budget friendly, as far as budgeting, no money, maybe, just maybe, they could be...
• 33:27
  [UNKNOWN]: budget enough to pay that monthly fee instead of it all up front because usually it's how we pay for consoles we pay for it all up front and then we just think about you know I mean I got some people use after pay I guess it's already a thing but for Microsoft to officially include it and their system as far as how to pay for a console I think that would help out a lot of people who just don't have to up front money but pay it over time and I know some people may be like well if you
• 33:55
  [UNKNOWN]: Obviously, that's true.
• 33:56
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm just saying that this is a great option for somebody who's actually a gamer But can't afford the price upfront because maybe just maybe little team knew somebody out there could talk to the parents and be like, I could work this much and pay for This monthly fee up to this point, and then maybe the parents pay the rest, right, so
• 34:15
  [UNKNOWN]: I think that's a W idea.
• 34:17
  [UNKNOWN]: I think that's a W implementation.
• 34:19
  [UNKNOWN]: Obviously, it's not going to fix the ultimate issue, which is them horrendously losing the current and constant race to PlayStation 5, which is not going to, like, that's not going to overturn.
• 34:28
  [UNKNOWN]: So right now, Project Helix is the next thing they should be looking at.
• 34:33
  [UNKNOWN]: But essentially, when I'm talking about as far as the gaming industry,
• 34:37
  [UNKNOWN]: One, I thought cutting the game past price was phenomenal.
• 34:40
  [UNKNOWN]: I think that by now pay later is also phenomenal, as far as giving people options.
• 34:44
  [UNKNOWN]: Now of course, people who are already bad with money, this is gonna just not be, this shouldn't be for them.
• 34:50
  [UNKNOWN]: Of course it will, but I'm just talking about by now pay later being good for people who actually budget and are good with their money, right?
• 34:57
  [UNKNOWN]: So what that means is the third advice, the third advice I will give, the third piece of advice,
• 35:06
  [UNKNOWN]: When it comes to the Xbox exclusive, they shouldn't have any.
• 35:14
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't know what else to say, I can't do that.
• 35:16
  [UNKNOWN]: I think you should not have any exclusive for the Xbox, because it makes no sense.
• 35:19
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, if you want revenue, you should not have any exclusives as of right now if you Xbox.
• 35:25
  [UNKNOWN]: Now I know what you probably think of TSO.
• 35:27
  [UNKNOWN]: That doesn't make any sense.
• 35:28
  [UNKNOWN]: Well, ladies and gentlemen, hold up.
• 35:30
  [UNKNOWN]: Y'all pay attention.
• 35:31
  [UNKNOWN]: Let me tell you one more thing, give me a second, give me a second, give me say I got some numbers to read off to you.
• 35:36
  [UNKNOWN]: So basically, PlayStation is leading the current game market by 72% to 73%.
• 35:41
  [UNKNOWN]: 72% to 73%.
• 35:42
  [UNKNOWN]: Y'all, y'all paying attention.
• 35:44
  [UNKNOWN]: All right, they paying attention.
• 35:46
  [UNKNOWN]: All right, so basically Xbox has 27% of the game or market share, right?
• 35:52
  [UNKNOWN]: Ladies and gentlemen, what world would you recoup off of an expensive video game as far as a development budget with 27% of the gaming industry?
• 36:02
  [UNKNOWN]: I'll let me know.
• 36:03
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, let me know.
• 36:04
  [UNKNOWN]: Just look at the state of gaming.
• 36:06
  [UNKNOWN]: Like, what is going on?
• 36:07
  [UNKNOWN]: So as far as exclusives until you can actually have 50, 50 or 60, 40 split with PlayStation, I don't think you should have any exclusives because it makes no sense when it comes to revenue rise.
• 36:19
  [UNKNOWN]: PlayStation can have exclusives because guess what they have 72 to 73% of the entire gaming market share so unless you want to cut your profits by more than half ladies and gentlemen you should never have exclusives so that's my last thing so you know when it comes to the game past they took my advice with them well I'm not gonna say they took it but you know I'm saying I did say early and that's why I gave you the timestamps so you can go back to the actual segment and fact shit favorite 27-26
• 36:44
  [UNKNOWN]: Phil Spencer, Sarah Bond and the Xbox Christ is explained.
• 36:48
  [UNKNOWN]: I gave them the advice of lowering the game past price.
• 36:51
  [UNKNOWN]: And of course, you know, I'm not saying they listen to me, but April 26, when it's 26, they slashed the Xbox Game Ultimate price by $7.
• 36:57
  [UNKNOWN]: Now, of course, when it comes to right now, and the raising all the prices for all the consoles, I think the next solution.
• 37:06
  [UNKNOWN]: because all his office is all about revenue from Microsoft so you can't really give advice like oh just make everything free like you know they lost how much they lose what color do they can hold up they lost about they talked about this a while ago okay so no back to back uh we see 67% no that's not it um the game pass I'm trying to see what the game passes uh I don't think I have an idea I could just look at it but I'm pretty
• 37:35
  [UNKNOWN]: Maybe I did.
• 37:36
  [UNKNOWN]: I thought I did.
• 37:37
  [UNKNOWN]: Huh, okay, give me a second.
• 37:42
  [UNKNOWN]: You know, as far as making research, you know, that's what we, you know, helps it.
• 37:46
  [UNKNOWN]: Let me see, come on for a minute.
• 37:57
  [UNKNOWN]: Alright, so after a little making research, it's safe to say that Xbox came out in 880 lost 300 million plus.
• 38:03
  [UNKNOWN]: Now, mind you, this was supposed to be the bread and but it is supposed to be the grand theft auto, the 2K.
• 38:08
  [UNKNOWN]: You get the point, right?
• 38:09
  [UNKNOWN]: It was supposed to be the leading revenue driver, which is why they acquired Activision in the first place.
• 38:13
  [UNKNOWN]: Ladies and gentlemen, they lost over 300 million, because the Call of Duty be in on the Game Pass.
• 38:20
  [UNKNOWN]: That is why you just can't give advice like, oh, just give it up for free.
• 38:23
  [UNKNOWN]: They can't do that.
• 38:23
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, you know, they basically did that.
• 38:26
  [UNKNOWN]: We're putting Call of Duty on Game Pass.
• 38:27
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm not gonna say it was completely free, but in their minds, they was having a pro-consumer tactic, which I even said back then.
• 38:34
  [UNKNOWN]: Game Pass was one of the more pro-consumer tools to be an avid gamer and they've raised the price the expeditially it was I hold up now now all these all these pro-consumer tactics with lower and on with the game pass originally as it's original price having all these popular games on it a y'all still not
• 38:52
  [UNKNOWN]: helping us when it comes to the console where and places you're having like 70% of the market of the gamer base guess what the price is going right back up so I think the game pass price being slash is one no exclusives I think is the other piece of advice I would give because um it just doesn't make sense but market market wise
• 39:11
  [UNKNOWN]: even with PC.
• 39:12
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, yeah, basically you need your game on PlayStation.
• 39:16
  [UNKNOWN]: It just doesn't make sense to have any exclusives.
• 39:18
  [UNKNOWN]: And I'm sorry, maybe with Project Helix, you'll be able to balance the gamer market or the gamer market share back up.
• 39:25
  [UNKNOWN]: But as of right now, the current game market share is you have a whopping 27 percent.
• 39:30
  [UNKNOWN]: No, I don't want to hear exclusive coming to Microsoft's mouth no more.
• 39:33
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, Xbox's mouth.
• 39:35
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm sorry.
• 39:35
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm
• 39:37
  [UNKNOWN]: What is going on?
• 39:37
  [UNKNOWN]: So anyways, that's my last piece of advice.
• 39:40
  [UNKNOWN]: But when it comes to the rest of what you need to know, the main thing I wanted to get across is them increasing the prices now.
• 39:45
  [UNKNOWN]: I just wanted to have a game or discussion, because a lot of people are going to take this and run with it as Xbox is dead.
• 39:51
  [UNKNOWN]: Microsoft has never dropped in Xbox.
• 39:53
  [UNKNOWN]: Like I know,
• 39:54
  [UNKNOWN]: When it comes to the top revenue for Microsoft, Microsoft 365 commercial that's number one as far as productivity, office, cloud, et cetera, you have intelligence cloud as zero is server, which is number two, and then you have gaming, that's number three, and it's very to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to
• 40:11
  [UNKNOWN]: the top two, compared to 30 is a huge drop off.
• 40:15
  [UNKNOWN]: Number one is Microsoft 365 commercial and productivity, right?
• 40:18
  [UNKNOWN]: That's 31 to 38% Microsoft's revenue.
• 40:20
  [UNKNOWN]: Then you have intelligent cloud, Azure server, which is 34 to 43% market revenue, percentage of the revenue for Microsoft.
• 40:29
  [UNKNOWN]: And then of course you have at number three, gaming slash Xbox, which is a whopping eight percent.
• 40:34
  [UNKNOWN]: So from one to two,
• 40:35
  [UNKNOWN]: So I'm two to three.
• 40:36
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, it's a significant jump.
• 40:38
  [UNKNOWN]: So then you have LinkedIn, I even know the own that.
• 40:41
  [UNKNOWN]: So Microsoft apparently owns LinkedIn.
• 40:43
  [UNKNOWN]: 6% of revenue driver for Microsoft's and totality.
• 40:47
  [UNKNOWN]: And you have Windows devices, search, et cetera, that's 6% to 10% combined.
• 40:52
  [UNKNOWN]: So
• 40:53
  [UNKNOWN]: When it comes to gaming, I don't think they would just end up dropping Xbox because when they like LinkedIn, Windows, device, I mean that they're going to put their or they're going to put their hopes and dreams to the lowest companies or they're going to make a new one.
• 41:06
  [UNKNOWN]: Of course not.
• 41:07
  [UNKNOWN]: I think Xbox is a strong brand.
• 41:10
  [UNKNOWN]: Microsoft's never going to kill it.
• 41:11
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm not going to say, well, saying never is kind of hard.
• 41:15
  [UNKNOWN]: As of right now, it just makes no sense to kill the Xbox brand.
• 41:18
  [UNKNOWN]: Nobody, as far as Walmart, as far as Amazon, none of those human gets companies like a Microsoft is looking to get into console gaming.
• 41:26
  [UNKNOWN]: So right now, you hold a grip on just the brand recognition.
• 41:31
  [UNKNOWN]: So I believe there's just no reason to kill it.
• 41:34
  [UNKNOWN]: I Xbox, you just have to find different ways to get people to come back to your product.
• 41:39
  [UNKNOWN]: And I think no exclusives and cutting the price at a game pass, which you already did, you know, wouldn't hurt to do it again.
• 41:45
  [UNKNOWN]: But I think those are the top two things they should focus on.
• 41:49
  [UNKNOWN]: So that being said,
• 41:51
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, that's basically it.
• 41:52
  [UNKNOWN]: So there's a lot of things to get into when it comes to this price increase.
• 41:55
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, as far as the timeline, I mean, May 2025 was the first increase for the Xbox Series X.
• 42:00
  [UNKNOWN]: Then launched at $499, right now, it's currently $800.
• 42:04
  [UNKNOWN]: If you want any indication on how the gaming industry is going.
• 42:08
  [UNKNOWN]: So, May 2025 was the first increase.
• 42:11
  [UNKNOWN]: October 2025 was the second increase.
• 42:13
  [UNKNOWN]: Now,
• 42:15
  [UNKNOWN]: When it comes to August 2026, which is, you know, of course, current timeline, that is the third increase.
• 42:23
  [UNKNOWN]: So we, they've rose, they've risen the price three separate times and Apple, Sony, Nintendo, Valve.
• 42:31
  [UNKNOWN]: All of these companies have been increasing their prices, but why is this one so significant?
• 42:35
  [UNKNOWN]: I think it's because Xbox is losing the race horrendously when it comes to the console market share.
• 42:40
  [UNKNOWN]: So they're the last people to be able to pop out and be like, oh, we have more expensive prices.
• 42:45
  [UNKNOWN]: But I thought of them now, no, no, no.
• 42:47
  [UNKNOWN]: I know who I thank you to you.
• 42:49
  [UNKNOWN]: No, I know.
• 42:52
  [UNKNOWN]: So that's why people upset because PlayStation is leading the console market by a lot.
• 42:58
  [UNKNOWN]: So for Xbox to increase the prices, it doesn't make too much sense out of, you know, that they're not acting like the desperate act or like it's an even race between PlayStation.
• 43:10
  [UNKNOWN]: acting like they could do the same things that PlayStation of Valve is out here doing.
• 43:13
  [UNKNOWN]: And they need to, somebody needs to show them the market share expeditiously, I kid you not.
• 43:17
  [UNKNOWN]: So that's about it.
• 43:18
  [UNKNOWN]: So that's it.
• 43:18
  [UNKNOWN]: Click my link to your mobile, follow me on my social media.
• 43:21
  [UNKNOWN]: And of course, if you're on Spotify, comment down below.
• 43:24
  [UNKNOWN]: What do you think Xbox Slash Microsoft should do to get more of the current GM market into their favor?
• 43:34
  [UNKNOWN]: Keeps.
• 43:35
  [UNKNOWN]: Having game right here.
• 43:37
  [UNKNOWN]: Is that me here after year after year in the world?
• 43:41
  [UNKNOWN]: My fault station.
• 43:42
  [UNKNOWN]: You all listen up.
• 43:43
  [UNKNOWN]: We'll have to have a real conversation on how to help out Xbox because even though I own the PlayStation, I do acknowledge that if PlayStation
• 43:53
  [UNKNOWN]: keeps tipping the scale because right now the winning by a landslide like there's a stat out there that for every one Xbox O's is for ps5's so right so just look at the scale keeping and places going on what stopping them from having competitive prices like an Xbox why not mark their prices up xboxes getting whoop so bad right now as far as just popular games that also is high quality that at some point
• 44:22
  [UNKNOWN]: Find a game that can be your next halo.
• 44:28
  [UNKNOWN]: Shepard, just look at the state of gaming, like, what is going on?
• 44:33
  [UNKNOWN]: No, ladies and gentlemen, this video was from 2024 December 13.
• 44:37
  [UNKNOWN]: Now, it is 2026 ladies and gentlemen, and um, you guys see that's the problem.
• 44:45
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm not saying that, you know, I called this because you know,
• 44:49
  [UNKNOWN]: When it comes to covering the gaming and music I piece that notoriously affect the masses, same to say, I feel like we do a pretty good job over here, you know what I'm saying?
• 44:57
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm not a common man.
• 44:58
  [UNKNOWN]: Come on, Drew's good, ain't got to do all that.
• 45:01
  [UNKNOWN]: Hey, ain't got to do all that, but make sure it rate this five stars, but anyways, in all seriousness, this is the end game for the gaming industry.
• 45:10
  [UNKNOWN]: I could unite.
• 45:11
  [UNKNOWN]: This reminds me of when an infinity word, Dr.
• 45:15
  [UNKNOWN]: Strange was looking at Iron Man,
• 45:21
  [UNKNOWN]: We only have one outcome where we come out on top.
• 45:23
  [UNKNOWN]: Ain't know what that is.
• 45:24
  [UNKNOWN]: It's a group Acid Novice Ladies and Gentlemen.
• 45:26
  [UNKNOWN]: Now, a group Acid Novice Main.
• 45:28
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm not gonna preach to y'all, but look that up on your own time.
• 45:30
  [UNKNOWN]: But I could not.
• 45:33
  [UNKNOWN]: Xbox Lane off.
• 45:36
  [UNKNOWN]: Reportedly, 3200 jobs.
• 45:39
  [UNKNOWN]: 20% of his work force throughout the year of, well, throughout this year.
• 45:43
  [UNKNOWN]: And of course, a year of 2027 is very telling for the gaming industry
• 45:49
  [UNKNOWN]: it would be different if all of the AI data centers wasn't being manufactured in eating out all of the basically increasing all the ramp prices and eating up all of the jobs when it comes to actual humans being laid off by machinery right so that is the main point that you have to look at when people talk about man what is the worst that AI could do
• 46:17
  [UNKNOWN]: You're looking at it.
• 46:18
  [UNKNOWN]: You look at it.
• 46:19
  [UNKNOWN]: It's not funny.
• 46:19
  [UNKNOWN]: Just look at the state of gaming.
• 46:21
  [UNKNOWN]: Like, what is going on?
• 46:23
  [UNKNOWN]: And ironic that Asha came from an AI company under Microsoft.
• 46:28
  [UNKNOWN]: And now, when it comes to her being the new Xbox CEO, say to say that she is having one of the most significant reconstructions and Xbox history.
• 46:41
  [UNKNOWN]: And then you know what I'm saying, I was like, do you want to look at it?
• 46:44
  [UNKNOWN]: When you look at it in totality, Microsoft is laying off for 48, oh, this is one of the little thing popped up.
• 46:51
  [UNKNOWN]: Shoutout to who is this, by the way, shoutout to game ranks for this video because obviously I do my own research, but it's shout out for the video on the background, and a little experience video on Spotify to see the video on the background.
• 47:02
  [UNKNOWN]: But basically, back to all the same.
• 47:03
  [UNKNOWN]: So,
• 47:05
  [UNKNOWN]: Microsoft and Sociality laid off 4,800 people, or they're going to, 2% of it's global workforce.
• 47:13
  [UNKNOWN]: Xbox accounts for a 30 to 100 of those.
• 47:15
  [UNKNOWN]: So, I think
• 47:18
  [UNKNOWN]: Not only is this a huge indication of where gaming is going because prices are raising for every single console right then you have humans being laid off for AI who told every single company They needed to be the next big AI the world may never know you guys So humans are getting laid off by AI
• 47:41
  [UNKNOWN]: AI was supposed to be the savior of planet earth.
• 47:45
  [UNKNOWN]: It was supposed to make all lives easier and not only did it raise prices for PC parts, not only did it lay off all type of humans because now the high rub executive is the only care about greed and capitalism laying off humans for AI, right?
• 48:00
  [UNKNOWN]: But also
• 48:01
  [UNKNOWN]: When you look at the gaming industry specifically, which is definitely an expense of hobby is reached a point where either one can have group economics or there's going to no longer be a middle class in gaming.
• 48:16
  [UNKNOWN]: There's going to be a higher class and then there's going to be lower classes.
• 48:20
  [UNKNOWN]: It's just going to be no middle class whatsoever because PlayStation did away with physical copies or they set to for January, 20, 28.
• 48:31
  [UNKNOWN]: Xbox is raising a price is for, um, well, it's Xbox, right?
• 48:35
  [UNKNOWN]: PlayStation is raising the price is for its PS+.
• 48:38
  [UNKNOWN]: Nintendo has already, was it Nintendo?
• 48:41
  [UNKNOWN]: Much of it.
• 48:42
  [UNKNOWN]: No, Steam has already showcased that the Steam machine,
• 48:46
  [UNKNOWN]: is going to be overpriced for out of day hardware.
• 48:50
  [UNKNOWN]: The gaming industry is a very interesting place that I think could only be solved by group economics.
• 48:56
  [UNKNOWN]: That would all mean by that because games have been flopping left and right, right?
• 48:59
  [UNKNOWN]: We've had concours, we had high guards out there, we've had certain group economics when it comes to letting horrendous games flop, right?
• 49:08
  [UNKNOWN]: But when it comes to a whole entire company, I think it's getting to that point where
• 49:13
  [UNKNOWN]: PlayStation is leading the pack by so much not to sound like my video on 2024, but PlayStation is leading the pack by so much that if we don't like what Xbox is doing It may be over, man.
• 49:29
  [UNKNOWN]: Shepard.
• 49:30
  [UNKNOWN]: They may be over.
• 49:30
  [UNKNOWN]: Just look at the state of gaming like
• 49:33
  [UNKNOWN]: What is going on?
• 49:33
  [UNKNOWN]: Hey, I'm probably thinking, what is the alternative?
• 49:36
  [UNKNOWN]: I think at this particular time, Xbox is not moving in a way of a company that's losing.
• 49:41
  [UNKNOWN]: They're moving in a way of, oh, we still have next year.
• 49:44
  [UNKNOWN]: We still have the next console generation.
• 49:46
  [UNKNOWN]: Somebody needs to tell Xbox, hey.
• 49:50
  [UNKNOWN]: clock is ticking.
• 49:51
  [UNKNOWN]: You know what I'm saying?
• 49:52
  [UNKNOWN]: I'll ask some of your dirt sanders type B.
• 49:54
  [UNKNOWN]: You know what I'm saying?
• 49:55
  [UNKNOWN]: Look at your wrist and just know it's almost it's almost up for Xbox because PlayStation is leading the pack by so much that even the next console generation will have to be at least a 60 40 split by the the next gen consoles from Xbox and PlayStation specifically.
• 50:09
  [UNKNOWN]: You have to be a 60 40 split 60 the Xbox 40 the PlayStation for them to even make up for how horrendously they're losing this current gen console race.
• 50:18
  [UNKNOWN]: And I don't like to say in console race like I'm choosing either side because Objectively speaking, I want a gamer side so when it comes to these companies they compete So we have more pro consumer Tactics for customers ladies and gentlemen If the worst company in console land that's losing by landslide when it comes to sales more specifically Because you know he got analytics for days more specifically
• 50:44
  [UNKNOWN]: Xbox is operating margins is 3%, 3% to 10 times lower than their peers.
• 50:50
  [UNKNOWN]: So if this is the company coming with anti-consumer practices, what in the world are we going to do?
• 51:00
  [UNKNOWN]: Like, what is going on?
• 51:01
  [UNKNOWN]: To put in sports terms, why?
• 51:03
  [UNKNOWN]: Because, I don't know, audience.
• 51:05
  [UNKNOWN]: The put in sports terms.
• 51:06
  [UNKNOWN]: It's almost as if you have one of the greatest players of all time, right?
• 51:11
  [UNKNOWN]: You're trying to make the championship, but then you come to realize, I told them, no?
• 51:15
  [UNKNOWN]: We're nowhere near the top of the, of the creamer to crop when it comes to reaching the NBA Finals.
• 51:22
  [UNKNOWN]: Let's let on star player leave.
• 51:23
  [UNKNOWN]: You might think it to yourself.
• 51:26
  [UNKNOWN]: That's essentially what Xbox is doing.
• 51:29
  [UNKNOWN]: The loser horrendously to PlayStation and what is their solution to cut off an enormous amount of jobs.
• 51:35
  [UNKNOWN]: No tell them how many talented people was laid off that could have made them crazy amount of revenue because is it the model or is it the talent that's that fault for why you're operating that's the way that you're operating because it's the live service.
• 51:52
  [UNKNOWN]: In NAMOR, is it because of the higher up execs being in NAMOR by live service that you're failing?
• 51:59
  [UNKNOWN]: Or is it because of creatives not being able to actually make their game that they want to make?
• 52:06
  [UNKNOWN]: Every single time a talented studio makes a talented single player game, you know the next thing that comes from that studio, a live service.
• 52:14
  [UNKNOWN]: It's almost as if they look at the bottom line, they say we only need one.
• 52:18
  [UNKNOWN]: This studio made a phenomenal single player game.
• 52:22
  [UNKNOWN]: Now I got to do it man.
• 52:23
  [UNKNOWN]: You know it's gonna hurt my heart, man.
• 52:24
  [UNKNOWN]: Now it's gonna hurt.
• 52:25
  [UNKNOWN]: Just look at this thing and you know what I'm saying?
• 52:27
  [UNKNOWN]: Like, what is going on?
• 52:28
  [UNKNOWN]: Now if y'all can't tell, this is a certain game.
• 52:30
  [UNKNOWN]: Now I'm a huge fan of, right?
• 52:33
  [UNKNOWN]: When that specific company made the classic trilogy called Mass Effect, right?
• 52:38
  [UNKNOWN]: And then you come to realize those higher the higher ups.
• 52:42
  [UNKNOWN]: Not only did they almost mess up Mass Effect 3 completely by capitalism and greed, but also
• 52:48
  [UNKNOWN]: After they wanted a live service from Byreware, you know what they came with?
• 52:52
  [UNKNOWN]: And this is one of the greatest studios of my opinion.
• 52:55
  [UNKNOWN]: They came with Anthem.
• 52:57
  [UNKNOWN]: There's a lot of problems with how higher-up execs look at success of single-player games because I kid you not.
• 53:05
  [UNKNOWN]: They're probably looking at Capcom saying to themselves, you know what?
• 53:08
  [UNKNOWN]: It's about that time for a pragmatic life service.
• 53:11
  [UNKNOWN]: You know what?
• 53:12
  [UNKNOWN]: It's about that time for resident evil life service game.
• 53:16
  [UNKNOWN]: And to that, I just, you know, I just don't like them,
• 53:20
  [UNKNOWN]: I just don't like it, man.
• 53:21
  [UNKNOWN]: I just don't like it, man.
• 53:22
  [UNKNOWN]: I just don't like that shit, man.
• 53:24
  [UNKNOWN]: Like that stuff is creating the problems we have now.
• 53:28
  [UNKNOWN]: And now, the 4800, no, my fault.
• 53:31
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, the 4800 total cuts that Microsoft is making is the cause of it.
• 53:35
  [UNKNOWN]: So to go through all the numbers will be to let, you know, over here we do dive into analytics.
• 53:42
  [UNKNOWN]: It's very depressing analytics, I'm about to get into it too, I could do not.
• 53:46
  [UNKNOWN]: So if you don't like the press and news about the gaming industry, just know,
• 53:50
  [UNKNOWN]: This is one of the more depressing times for the gaming industry.
• 53:55
  [UNKNOWN]: I know you may think I'm exaggerating, but these are whole humans that are being laid off.
• 54:00
  [UNKNOWN]: That was maybe the providers for their family.
• 54:03
  [UNKNOWN]: Just think about that.
• 54:04
  [UNKNOWN]: So now, my Xbox specifically is laying off 30, 200 people, and the rest of the gaming industry is acting like they're acting as far as PlayStation, laying off a bunch of people from Bungie.
• 54:15
  [UNKNOWN]: I think I covered it, let me see.
• 54:16
  [UNKNOWN]: So,
• 54:17
  [UNKNOWN]: Bungie, as far as the Destiny 2 studio, could be facing a 50% reduction in staff, but it comes to playstation, that was just type in layoffs, because I've covered so many layoffs in the game industry as insane.
• 54:29
  [UNKNOWN]: You'd be selfless here with layoffs while we understand.
• 54:32
  [UNKNOWN]: Oh, my fault, I bet you, no, come on, you'd be selfless.
• 54:35
  [UNKNOWN]: Let me see, basically, I think Warner Bros. would entirely, right?
• 54:39
  [UNKNOWN]: Then they sell to a paramount or something like that, basically, well, the gaming industry wasn't even worried about Warner.
• 54:48
  [UNKNOWN]: When you look at Xbox's revenue as far as the financial challenges let's start with that.
• 54:52
  [UNKNOWN]: So they decline 5% year over year during the court of ending of March 2026.
• 54:57
  [UNKNOWN]: Xbox hardware revenue dropped 33% due to weak console sales.
• 55:02
  [UNKNOWN]: Operating profit margins fail to approximately 3%.
• 55:06
  [UNKNOWN]: Microsoft previously projected 77 million game pass subscribers by 26.
• 55:10
  [UNKNOWN]: Ladies and gentlemen, you want to know how many.
• 55:13
  [UNKNOWN]: Nah, do they want to know how many subscribers the game pass has right now?
• 55:20
  [UNKNOWN]: 30 million but then you know I'm saying I'm like, oh if you didn't hear me I said 30 million but then you know I'm saying I'm like, so anyways when it comes to Xbox a losing this footprint and the game again to show you expeditiously I think that this is a way of pressing the red button but it's due to the capitalism greed due to AI and live service games if there was two if you don't get
• 55:52
  [UNKNOWN]: and live service games.
• 55:53
  [UNKNOWN]: My brother, that's why we're in the situation window.
• 55:57
  [UNKNOWN]: Shepherd, you're like, it's your nut.
• 55:58
  [UNKNOWN]: Just look at the state of gaming.
• 55:59
  [UNKNOWN]: Like, what is going on?
• 56:01
  [UNKNOWN]: This is no reason why every single game company is out there trying to be the next biggest AI.
• 56:07
  [UNKNOWN]: Like, at some point, somebody got a fail because everybody losing their jobs.
• 56:11
  [UNKNOWN]: Just so you can have the biggest AI dentist's AI dentist's.
• 56:14
  [UNKNOWN]: We can't have Google, Jeb and now we can't have Grant, we can't have Proplexity, we can't have Copilot,
• 56:21
  [UNKNOWN]: Because humans, I get laid off left and right because of these AI data centers, raising up the prices of RAM, having executives, things they could replace humans with AI, and in general, raising that overall price because if you don't know, there's a certain war going on who's not political pockets.
• 56:41
  [UNKNOWN]: But the current state of the economy, prices are also raising, unless you say,
• 56:47
  [UNKNOWN]: and it's not political practice.
• 56:49
  [UNKNOWN]: Let's take the game.
• 56:51
  [UNKNOWN]: So anyways, when it comes to some of the studios, double-file productions is becoming independent.
• 56:57
  [UNKNOWN]: They're keeping an intellectual property receiving Microsoft funding as a run-away for future games.
• 57:02
  [UNKNOWN]: So I think that's a W. Even though you lay in all of everyone in the mama, there is some sort of resemblance of a heart in Microsoft.
• 57:10
  [UNKNOWN]: So compulsion games also are becoming independent with the eye-pink attack.
• 57:16
  [UNKNOWN]: Some of the gaming companies that sold to new owners, you have Ninja Theory, the developer of Hellblade, senior was sacrifice, and senior was saga, Hellblade 2.
• 57:25
  [UNKNOWN]: You have undead labs, developer of state of the K series, so those would be in soul to new owners.
• 57:31
  [UNKNOWN]: And certain, this one hurts my heart.
• 57:34
  [UNKNOWN]: Man, you know, I could, you know, I told y'all this was going to be a depressing segment, but this one, even, even
• 57:43
  [UNKNOWN]: I just don't like it now.
• 57:44
  [UNKNOWN]: So I just don't like it.
• 57:45
  [UNKNOWN]: I just don't like that shit, man.
• 57:47
  [UNKNOWN]: All right.
• 57:47
  [UNKNOWN]: So basically our cane studios ladies and gentlemen You guys The studio behind us on earth that Lou pray in Please pray Because if we don't get Marvel's blade I may just write myself But then you know what I'm saying?
• 58:04
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm like, do you want to look at this?
• 58:05
  [UNKNOWN]: If if if we don't get blade Yoss Yossie me come on now
• 58:15
  [UNKNOWN]: Oh, wait, I'll bat the resort to... Jeopardy.
• 58:16
  [UNKNOWN]: All right, so basically, blade isn't jeopardy, because arcane studios is, their future is beyond uncertain, right?
• 58:26
  [UNKNOWN]: The undergoing strategic reviews and France and possible sale of restructuring, I hope I just hope.
• 58:34
  [UNKNOWN]: The Xbox does the same thing to doing with Ninja Theory and Undead Labs.
• 58:39
  [UNKNOWN]: Hopefully they just sell a soul to somebody else.
• 58:42
  [UNKNOWN]: Like an NBA to bring up basketball terms again.
• 58:44
  [UNKNOWN]: Hopefully they're able to just convert the contract for some picks.
• 58:48
  [UNKNOWN]: You know what I'm saying?
• 58:49
  [UNKNOWN]: Like convert the arcade studios to somebody else for some picks.
• 58:53
  [UNKNOWN]: Instead of just laying off the whole studio because guess what?
• 58:56
  [UNKNOWN]: You would be like, oh, why not just go independent?
• 58:58
  [UNKNOWN]: Now,
• 58:59
  [UNKNOWN]: The crazy amount of budget that you had is cut significantly because you don't have the backing by Microsoft.
• 59:04
  [UNKNOWN]: That is why I'm not advocating for them to go independent.
• 59:08
  [UNKNOWN]: I would like them to still have the AAA budget for Blade because Blade deserves it as once upon a time as the shoot as a superhero nerd, superhero movies were not respected until Wesley Blake, I'm
• 59:28
  [UNKNOWN]: So if you ever wonder why people put so much respect on Blade is because before we was in the land of MCU, whatever DC traveled there, whatever they traveled there.
• 59:38
  [UNKNOWN]: But basically, before we got to the land of the MCU in the iconic Infinity War saga, Wesley Snipes' Blade was there to showcase what a good superhero film could look like.
• 59:48
  [UNKNOWN]: And Blade as a character, it's just one of the most highly regarded black characters, black superheroes, in history, you know, a longer black Panther, et cetera.
• 59:58
  [UNKNOWN]: Bring me back to the original point.
• 59:59
  [UNKNOWN]: If Arcane Studios, if they get Blade taken away from them, can't say, man, I can't say it.
• 1:00:07
  [UNKNOWN]: So anyways, I'm getting into the major games that's definitely not gonna get touched.
• 1:00:12
  [UNKNOWN]: Hey, low campaign involved, it's still underway.
• 1:00:15
  [UNKNOWN]: Gears of word E, day is still underway.
• 1:00:17
  [UNKNOWN]: Microsoft, I said Microsoft.
• 1:00:19
  [UNKNOWN]: My craft Dungeons 2 is underway.
• 1:00:21
  [UNKNOWN]: I know that's right.
• 1:00:22
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I'm saying, hey, I'm not gonna cap to you.
• 1:00:25
  [UNKNOWN]: It will be over for,
• 1:00:28
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't even have my gaming charts, it would be over for Xbox if they ever disrespect the Minecraft.
• 1:00:36
  [UNKNOWN]: I can't you know, my Minecraft is consistently in the top 10, as far as Xbox bets selling games.
• 1:00:41
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, it's number two right now, the Minecraft, Java, and Bad Rock edition for PC, it's currently the second most played game I Xbox in, there's always in the top five, always.
• 1:00:52
  [UNKNOWN]: And there's another edition, no, no.
• 1:00:55
  [UNKNOWN]: Usually it's two additions, but for right now they have one.
• 1:00:58
  [UNKNOWN]: But basically, that was in the top three.
• 1:01:00
  [UNKNOWN]: And usually they have two versions in the top 10.
• 1:01:04
  [UNKNOWN]: The reason why I say that is because yeah, they better keep continuing to expand on Minecraft.
• 1:01:09
  [UNKNOWN]: So Minecraft Dungeons 2, Call of Duty Monow Warfare for Fable, Clockwork Revolution, the Elder Scrolls,
• 1:01:17
  [UNKNOWN]: six, um, it's still, I guess that game's coming out.
• 1:01:22
  [UNKNOWN]: Hey, this is not, you know, they said it's not going to be touched.
• 1:01:25
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm just going to believe me.
• 1:01:25
  [UNKNOWN]: You know what I'm saying?
• 1:01:27
  [UNKNOWN]: Even though Xbox has a very interesting pass of saying something will come out and they completely just mutilating the studio.
• 1:01:39
  [UNKNOWN]: So I want to take their words as law, right?
• 1:01:42
  [UNKNOWN]: I'll take what a huge green assault.
• 1:01:44
  [UNKNOWN]: So,
• 1:01:46
  [UNKNOWN]: When it looks, when you look at Microsoft, Call of Duty, Minecraft, Candycrunch, follow our Halo Gears of War 4's Age of Empires.
• 1:01:52
  [UNKNOWN]: Those are the franchises you need to look at, and say to yourself, how can we expand upon this without anti-consumer practices?
• 1:02:00
  [UNKNOWN]: Because I kid you not, AI and live service, always rears this ugly head.
• 1:02:05
  [UNKNOWN]: And that's why we're in a situation we're in right now.
• 1:02:06
  [UNKNOWN]: If you don't get anything else out of the segment, AI, AI, say it with me,
• 1:02:15
  [UNKNOWN]: The live service games.
• 1:02:17
  [UNKNOWN]: Hey, all right, they get it.
• 1:02:20
  [UNKNOWN]: All right, anyways, um, when it comes to Austria, I think what she's doing is some of the most cut-through management I've ever seen.
• 1:02:30
  [UNKNOWN]: I could do not.
• 1:02:30
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, any new CEO, I don't think we ever make this type of move.
• 1:02:36
  [UNKNOWN]: I didn't look it up, but I just want to look it up right now because I don't know if we've ever seen this in a gaming industry.
• 1:02:44
  [UNKNOWN]: Ever seen.
• 1:02:46
  [UNKNOWN]: God, do some Mickey Research, you know what I'm saying?
• 1:02:51
  [UNKNOWN]: Alright, so basically, I had to look this up because I was thinking to myself like, is this the most egregious layoffs and gaming history?
• 1:03:02
  [UNKNOWN]: Could we have covered all type of layoffs, ladies and gentlemen, to the point where you would stop people getting laid off left and right, technically they were.
• 1:03:08
  [UNKNOWN]: But um,
• 1:03:11
  [UNKNOWN]: Because, let me see, because PlayStation warned us back on February 3, 2024, when I covered previous PlayStation, CEO warns of further layoffs, citing unsustainability and triple-A development expansion.
• 1:03:24
  [UNKNOWN]: San Francisco years later, I should look at the heart.
• 1:03:27
  [UNKNOWN]: Now, of course, they, I looked it up, it lives in gentleman through my, making research.
• 1:03:34
  [UNKNOWN]: This is the single most,
• 1:03:38
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, this is the largest single layoff in gaming history.
• 1:03:41
  [UNKNOWN]: Man, what in the actual?
• 1:03:42
  [UNKNOWN]: It's just, look at the state of gaming.
• 1:03:45
  [UNKNOWN]: Like, what is going on?
• 1:03:47
  [UNKNOWN]: The more I look at this, I just think about like history.
• 1:03:49
  [UNKNOWN]: Like, how we remember the month of June and July in the year of 2026.
• 1:03:54
  [UNKNOWN]: It's to the point where that's going to be, we're going to look back and be like, wow, they laid off.
• 1:03:59
  [UNKNOWN]: How many people of like, yeah, man, it was a crazy time.
• 1:04:02
  [UNKNOWN]: Are we living in a bro?
• 1:04:03
  [UNKNOWN]: You got me.
• 1:04:03
  [UNKNOWN]: We live, we in there right now.
• 1:04:06
  [UNKNOWN]: So anyways, um,
• 1:04:09
  [UNKNOWN]: This is going to be a huge factor in PlayStation's and X moves because they already had their anti-consumer practices, but the lead to pack, at least they lead them, at least they number one, it doesn't make it right, it doesn't make it right, but we can understand why PlayStation is getting a little bold with their anti-consumer practices.
• 1:04:29
  [UNKNOWN]: They lead to pack, it's not even 4 to 1, the 2024 SN4 to 1 as far as PS5, Xbox Series X and S.
• 1:04:35
  [UNKNOWN]: Right now it's like six to seven to one.
• 1:04:36
  [UNKNOWN]: It's a creature's bro.
• 1:04:38
  [UNKNOWN]: Xbox Series X and S is going to go down as one of the worst performance consoles when it comes to sales.
• 1:04:44
  [UNKNOWN]: Ever.
• 1:04:45
  [UNKNOWN]: So anyways, the reason why I say that is because
• 1:04:50
  [UNKNOWN]: What's stopping?
• 1:04:51
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm gonna sound like myself from 2024.
• 1:04:53
  [UNKNOWN]: Let's stop in playstation from doubling down.
• 1:04:55
  [UNKNOWN]: You know what?
• 1:04:56
  [UNKNOWN]: We said no more physicals, but because Xbox still out here tripping like they not losing another six to one, right?
• 1:05:01
  [UNKNOWN]: As far as console sales.
• 1:05:02
  [UNKNOWN]: We're gonna keep tripping even more.
• 1:05:04
  [UNKNOWN]: How about for the next two years, you can only own a game and not share it to anybody.
• 1:05:10
  [UNKNOWN]: Because you know the certain ways to get around as far as sharing the games and things of that nature, which is how people, you know, that that's one of the ways people get around.
• 1:05:20
  [UNKNOWN]: the lack of physicals, right?
• 1:05:22
  [UNKNOWN]: What if they start to crack down on that?
• 1:05:24
  [UNKNOWN]: Now, now the world would definitely blow up, you know what I'm saying?
• 1:05:26
  [UNKNOWN]: It'd be crazy.
• 1:05:29
  [UNKNOWN]: We're living and fall out new Xbox, no cap.
• 1:05:33
  [UNKNOWN]: Fall out new Xbox, fall out new Microsoft.
• 1:05:37
  [UNKNOWN]: Fall out all sure addition.
• 1:05:38
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I get the point, man.
• 1:05:39
  [UNKNOWN]: Shepard.
• 1:05:40
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I get the point, man.
• 1:05:41
  [UNKNOWN]: Just look at the state of gaming.
• 1:05:42
  [UNKNOWN]: Like, what is going on?
• 1:05:44
  [UNKNOWN]: There's nothing positive about...
• 1:05:46
  [UNKNOWN]: all of these layoffs.
• 1:05:48
  [UNKNOWN]: You don't need me to tell you that, but I just wanted to break it down on Totality because of course when you look at January 20, 2014, it was 1900 layoffs about 9% of the Xbox workforce.
• 1:05:56
  [UNKNOWN]: Blizzard cancelled Project Odyssey, right?
• 1:05:59
  [UNKNOWN]: May 2024 Studios closed that was Arcane Austin, Tango Gameworks, Alpha Dog, Roundhouse Merged, Into Zene, Zene Max Online.
• 1:06:08
  [UNKNOWN]: September, 2024, if you had an additional 650 layouts, I think about the numbers that we're hearing right now.
• 1:06:14
  [UNKNOWN]: 1900, okay, that's huge, right?
• 1:06:16
  [UNKNOWN]: 650, okay, that's still huge, right?
• 1:06:19
  [UNKNOWN]: Microsoft, and total, you know, up to that point was laying off like around 9,000, plus jobs, right?
• 1:06:26
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, that's a lot, you know, as far as collectively, not at one time, but as far as collectively.
• 1:06:30
  [UNKNOWN]: And it now, as of right now,
• 1:06:34
  [UNKNOWN]: July 26, Xbox is lays off 30, 200 people, 20% of his work force.
• 1:06:39
  [UNKNOWN]: Forced studios, lead Xbox Arcane is still under review, like what?
• 1:06:43
  [UNKNOWN]: In the actual, you guys, she lost the problem.
• 1:06:46
  [UNKNOWN]: That is why I had to look it up to see if this was one of the biggest gaming layoffs in history.
• 1:06:51
  [UNKNOWN]: And that's why I'm spending so much time on it, because, you know, as far as a platform that covers the gaming and music IPs and notoriously affect the masses, these are the type of,
• 1:07:00
  [UNKNOWN]: subject matters that you have to highlight and reiterate time and time again, so that gamers understand that a company is always going to have their best interest at heart, right?
• 1:07:12
  [UNKNOWN]: But this is getting the greatest, I mean, y'all get to the point, I just say to you know what, what the consumer, y'all just like, if y'all can't afford it, if y'all not willing to pay egregious prices without a day hardware, and we beat him, we beat him, we beat him, we go full.
• 1:07:28
  [UNKNOWN]: Now, as far as Aussia statement, I would read it, but I ain't gonna lie, it's like a whole book, nobody got time for that.
• 1:07:34
  [UNKNOWN]: Basically, she let them know that, hey, I'ma be transparent in how I'm laying off 3,200 y'all, and everybody was cool with it.
• 1:07:41
  [UNKNOWN]: Oh, it was like, man, what type of world?
• 1:07:44
  [UNKNOWN]: I can't deny everybody was like, oh, my goodness, oh, she's so transparent.
• 1:07:47
  [UNKNOWN]: I can't you're not, no, no, no, no, probably work for, for Xbox.
• 1:07:50
  [UNKNOWN]: If you, if you are a provider for your family and just got, if you was one of those 3200, you wouldn't have been saying that.
• 1:07:56
  [UNKNOWN]: Oh, she's so transparent in the way she took away my livelihood.
• 1:07:59
  [UNKNOWN]: Like, when are you going?
• 1:08:00
  [UNKNOWN]: Well, as people, she does the problem.
• 1:08:02
  [UNKNOWN]: Well, as people making excuses.
• 1:08:04
  [UNKNOWN]: I just don't, I just don't get it.
• 1:08:06
  [UNKNOWN]: I'll find what Microsoft, um, you know, I did give.
• 1:08:10
  [UNKNOWN]: advice and I don't know if they heard it, probably not, but when it comes to the game pass, you all remember, uh, I talked about this before, but basically, I remember giving them advice when all should take over, I was talking about field sponsors, the field sponsor segment that happened, see you back in five.
• 1:08:27
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, February 27th, 2026.
• 1:08:29
  [UNKNOWN]: Well, I talked about the field spinster, set up on the Xbox Crisis Explained.
• 1:08:34
  [UNKNOWN]: So February 27, 26, I talked about the game pass and how they should lower the prices.
• 1:08:38
  [UNKNOWN]: And you know, I'm not saying they listen to you, boy, which they sure, you don't say nothing to crazy.
• 1:08:42
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm not juicy, stop that stuff that you're skinny anyways.
• 1:08:44
  [UNKNOWN]: But when it comes to Xbox, specifically, April 26, 26, when I covered them, slashing the game pass ultimate price by $7 and removing the college duty park, I was like, you know what, that's a step in the right direction.
• 1:09:01
  [UNKNOWN]: We're not taking steps back.
• 1:09:03
  [UNKNOWN]: We're taking leaves.
• 1:09:04
  [UNKNOWN]: We're taking a whole Superman jumps, whole Hulk jumps back.
• 1:09:09
  [UNKNOWN]: It's the sad day, history, man.
• 1:09:10
  [UNKNOWN]: You guys, she does the problem.
• 1:09:13
  [UNKNOWN]: What did they say?
• 1:09:15
  [UNKNOWN]: One step forward, two steps back.
• 1:09:16
  [UNKNOWN]: What are we took one step forward?
• 1:09:18
  [UNKNOWN]: And she started back flipping all the way to the back.
• 1:09:20
  [UNKNOWN]: I was like, hold up now.
• 1:09:22
  [UNKNOWN]: Is that black widow?
• 1:09:23
  [UNKNOWN]: Shepherd.
• 1:09:23
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm a folk.
• 1:09:25
  [UNKNOWN]: So,
• 1:09:27
  [UNKNOWN]: To wrap this up, the main thing I want to let you out in on is that group economics, what's the game?
• 1:09:33
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm not going to explain it because I want to bore you out of death, but just know, the only way to take over as consumers as of right now, because PlayStation and Xbox, they just do on whatever.
• 1:09:42
  [UNKNOWN]: They just, it's a PG podcast, but they just, they let you know, but they, they like, well, what you, what you're going to do about it, what you, what you, what you, what you, what you,
• 1:09:49
  [UNKNOWN]: to go do about it.
• 1:09:50
  [UNKNOWN]: Just look at the state of games.
• 1:09:52
  [UNKNOWN]: All right.
• 1:09:52
  [UNKNOWN]: What is going on?
• 1:09:53
  [UNKNOWN]: So basically, the way that we could do something about it is group economics.
• 1:09:56
  [UNKNOWN]: Now, the juniors, there's a lot of different websites where you can sign petitions.
• 1:10:03
  [UNKNOWN]: And there's discourse you can join.
• 1:10:06
  [UNKNOWN]: Collectively, we can affect the masses.
• 1:10:09
  [UNKNOWN]: I know I say that from my podcast, outro every single time, or for the episodes.
• 1:10:13
  [UNKNOWN]: But basically, group economics is a real thing.
• 1:10:18
  [UNKNOWN]: because when you look in the past, I'm just looking at what they deal with tea and Boston.
• 1:10:23
  [UNKNOWN]: Like, think about that as far as group economics.
• 1:10:25
  [UNKNOWN]: You come together and you make a real stance on a company to the point where they have no choice, but they give you some type of pro-consumer marketing or pro-consumer conclusion or solution.
• 1:10:37
  [UNKNOWN]: So,
• 1:10:39
  [UNKNOWN]: In closing, I don't like talking about, you know, I don't like talking about obstacles or different type of problems in the gaming industry without giving a solution.
• 1:10:47
  [UNKNOWN]: The solution is to band together in the Claire that this is worth.
• 1:10:53
  [UNKNOWN]: Kitchen up.
• 1:10:54
  [UNKNOWN]: Shepherd, just look at the state of gaming.
• 1:10:57
  [UNKNOWN]: Like, what is going on?
• 1:11:00
  [UNKNOWN]: So with that being said, click my link to my bio to follow me on my social media.
• 1:11:03
  [UNKNOWN]: And
• 1:11:04
  [UNKNOWN]: If you don't spot the fire, just let me know.
• 1:11:06
  [UNKNOWN]: Just let me know.
• 1:11:06
  [UNKNOWN]: How you feeling?
• 1:11:07
  [UNKNOWN]: Are you okay?
• 1:11:09
  [UNKNOWN]: And what do you believe needs to happen as far as a group economics for us to band together in fight back as far as the war on capitalism and greed?
• 1:11:20
  [UNKNOWN]: Shefford.
• 1:11:21
  [UNKNOWN]: Promise me you'll tell them to subscribe and recontent.
• 1:11:25
  [UNKNOWN]: Big news in the gaming world today.
• 1:11:26
  [UNKNOWN]: It will soon be game over for physical disks for PlayStation consoles.
• 1:11:31
  [UNKNOWN]: Just look at this game.
• 1:11:32
  [UNKNOWN]: It's not happening.
• 1:11:33
  [UNKNOWN]: What is going on?
• 1:11:34
  [UNKNOWN]: Money by buying secondhand will be a thing of the past to break it all down.
• 1:11:37
  [UNKNOWN]: You for us are joined by tech experts.
• 1:11:39
  [UNKNOWN]: That's the problem.
• 1:11:40
  [UNKNOWN]: Ladies and gentlemen, we have officially reached a point where PlayStation has lost our mind.
• 1:11:48
  [UNKNOWN]: Shefford.
• 1:11:49
  [UNKNOWN]: just look at the state of gaming like what is going on because as far as the state of gaming safe to say this is simply a monetary issue for a playstation but guess what what us gamers we don't care I'm in a simple as that we do not care that when it comes to playstation and physical copies is declining sharply right because when it comes to physical
• 1:12:18
  [UNKNOWN]: A lot of people love the fact of, well, a lot of people love ownership and the fact that if they have a physical copy that is for ever theirs, which is why a lot of collectors addition down the line are so for way more than it was originally purchased for, because of course in the gaming industry, there's been a, uh, uh, egregious.
• 1:12:41
  [UNKNOWN]: preservation issue.
• 1:12:43
  [UNKNOWN]: Now, playstation could care less because of course they're ending physical copies and they'll only have digital downloads as far as starting January 28th and as far as getting into the gaming and music copies and notoriously effective asses, which is what we do over here.
• 1:12:59
  [UNKNOWN]: I believe the main reason why this is even
• 1:13:02
  [UNKNOWN]: so significant for a lot of gamers is because preservation is already at the worst level you can have it at.
• 1:13:10
  [UNKNOWN]: In PlayStation, somehow made it even worse.
• 1:13:15
  [UNKNOWN]: Just look at the state of gaming like what is going on as if you don't know.
• 1:13:21
  [UNKNOWN]: Basically, the thing that may play session make this decision is that when it comes to the physical copies US new physical sales hit 1.5 billion and 2025 a 30 year low down 11% year over year after 28% and 24 and then of course
• 1:13:42
  [UNKNOWN]: It peaked at 11.6 billion in 2008.
• 1:13:47
  [UNKNOWN]: So when you compare to 2008, numbers as far as 11.6 billion to 2025's 1.5 billion, some could say that PlayStation felt like physical wasn't supported enough to keep manufacturing them and raising their overhead.
• 1:14:07
  [UNKNOWN]: For that, I believe all of these layoffs that they're having basically counteracts that point because if you don't know, if the purpose of playstation is gamers not supporting physical copies.
• 1:14:21
  [UNKNOWN]: then why in the world will we look at them as far as all these layoffs and say, wait, hold up.
• 1:14:26
  [UNKNOWN]: So you learn enough, all these people, and you're stopping physical copies, it's almost as if you're dumping every single thing, the gaming industry used to stand for it, because of course, if you're a game developer, your job is not saved by any stretch of the imagination.
• 1:14:42
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, even when it comes to
• 1:14:46
  [UNKNOWN]: I figured with you, I think it was, uh, yeah, out of ring, because the out of ring came out in a developer's and we see the devs and we see silly.
• 1:14:56
  [UNKNOWN]: So the out of ring devs basically said it was received phenomenal, like everybody loved it.
• 1:15:03
  [UNKNOWN]: It was critically clean, uh, critically acclaimed, but then, of course, when it comes to the actual sales, the developers is like,
• 1:15:10
  [UNKNOWN]: they were thinking it was going to like acquire more revenue when it's just a single player game and I think that is a live service mentality just pushed uh just basically percolating in the minds of these higher ups and in gaming industry that makes them even say this in the first place because when you look at live service and what is doing to gaming is making every single
• 1:15:35
  [UNKNOWN]: higher up at all these gaming companies whether it's a development studio whether it's PlayStation Xbox and they're basically looking at the bottom line and saying to themselves
• 1:15:45
  [UNKNOWN]: If this is not printing money, hand over fist, then we have to discontinue it.
• 1:15:51
  [UNKNOWN]: And that's when happening for this year, that's when happening for last year.
• 1:15:55
  [UNKNOWN]: And essentially, that is why we're getting this announcement of Sony planning to stop producing physical PlayStation games, I disk beginning January 20, 28.
• 1:16:06
  [UNKNOWN]: It basically all comes for a full circle, because PlayStation
• 1:16:11
  [UNKNOWN]: Well now, I will, when January 20, 28 stars, PlayStation will only sell digital downloads via the PlayStation store and digital coals will be sold through retailers.
• 1:16:21
  [UNKNOWN]: And I think when it comes to resell, when it comes to lending, when it comes to sharing, that's just going to be a thing that'll pass because of course your e-bage, your game stops, et cetera.
• 1:16:31
  [UNKNOWN]: a lot of people were able to get certain games at a price point that you otherwise would not find on the digital store for it.
• 1:16:37
  [UNKNOWN]: So that's going to be a thing that the past being able to find games that's very popular at a tremendous discount due to the physical copy, right?
• 1:16:47
  [UNKNOWN]: That's going to be a thing of the past when it comes to digital purchases now significantly outpacing physical, no.
• 1:16:54
  [UNKNOWN]: When it comes to digital purchases now significantly outpacing physical
• 1:17:00
  [UNKNOWN]: The place they should say, y'all didn't support physical copies, enough to us to like justify us manufacturing and keeping up this overhead of shelling out physical discs.
• 1:17:14
  [UNKNOWN]: It doesn't sound like a consumer problem to me, that sounds like a company problem.
• 1:17:20
  [UNKNOWN]: It's almost like they should figure that out instead of just being like, oh, you know what?
• 1:17:24
  [UNKNOWN]: Just doing away with the entire physical edition of video games.
• 1:17:27
  [UNKNOWN]: Because of course, once again, I'm gonna keep bringing up this point.
• 1:17:30
  [UNKNOWN]: Gaming preservation is at an all-time low.
• 1:17:33
  [UNKNOWN]: When it comes to...
• 1:17:35
  [UNKNOWN]: physical sales.
• 1:17:36
  [UNKNOWN]: That is, I believe, the only way to have tangible value and collectability for the foreseeable future in the game again in the street.
• 1:17:44
  [UNKNOWN]: If everything goes digital, and you will eliminate all discs.
• 1:17:49
  [UNKNOWN]: You basically are trying to remove packaging and shipping expenses.
• 1:17:54
  [UNKNOWN]: Expenses you're trying to simplify hardware production.
• 1:17:57
  [UNKNOWN]: I believe it's only gonna be a detriment to the gaming community because some people may be like, well, you're saying all these numbers about the physical sales going down.
• 1:18:06
  [UNKNOWN]: So why is it a big deal?
• 1:18:08
  [UNKNOWN]: The big deal is gaming preservation.
• 1:18:10
  [UNKNOWN]: Ladies and gentlemen, I don't know how to explain it.
• 1:18:12
  [UNKNOWN]: Any, well actually, I do not explain the simpler than that.
• 1:18:15
  [UNKNOWN]: So, as putting it in more famous terms, when you look at the Game Boy Advance, just ladies and gentlemen, we're going back to one, I'll just reload that.
• 1:18:23
  [UNKNOWN]: When it comes to the Game Boy availability, when the video game history foundation highlighted the risk of digital only ecosystems, basically,
• 1:18:34
  [UNKNOWN]: after because, you know, because of Nintendo's eShop closures, Game Boy availability went from 155 out of 1800.
• 1:18:44
  [UNKNOWN]: Game Boy titles remaining legally available to only 25 titles remaining accessible.
• 1:18:50
  [UNKNOWN]: So basically,
• 1:18:52
  [UNKNOWN]: you effectively erased a good portion of gaming history when it comes to the Game Boy Advance.
• 1:18:57
  [UNKNOWN]: Now, of course, some people may be like, well, who cares?
• 1:18:59
  [UNKNOWN]: We still have emulation.
• 1:19:01
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm just letting you know from a gaming enthusiast standpoint why people are upset about this digital only trajectory that the gaming industry is going.
• 1:19:12
  [UNKNOWN]: Because
• 1:19:13
  [UNKNOWN]: you are racing so much gaming history that now you are essentially saying you will own nothing and you will be happy.
• 1:19:24
  [UNKNOWN]: PlayStation is looking as dead in the face saying hey guess what you want to own physical copies you want to actually own something in the gaming industry
• 1:19:35
  [UNKNOWN]: You said you want a physical copy of Expedition 33.
• 1:19:37
  [UNKNOWN]: Well, that's what if it came out in the 28, you got to look, buddy.
• 1:19:41
  [UNKNOWN]: Shepherd said their history just look at the state of gaming like what is going on.
• 1:19:45
  [UNKNOWN]: As even till this day, I still have my original Mass Effect trilogy collection as far as the PC edition and of course because it was like a collector's item.
• 1:19:55
  [UNKNOWN]: But of course, I played on Xbox.
• 1:19:57
  [UNKNOWN]: But when it comes to the actual collector's item, I believe it's just something special about having a physical copy.
• 1:20:04
  [UNKNOWN]: Now it brings me back to the book ecosystem.
• 1:20:08
  [UNKNOWN]: Sometimes I read a hard copy, sometimes I read or sometimes I listen as far as audio books on Spotify, you know, shame is looking.
• 1:20:16
  [UNKNOWN]: But when it comes to
• 1:20:18
  [UNKNOWN]: gaming that option being taken away should be looked at in the same as books as far as physical horror copies being just completely outpaced by the digital version so it did just do away with physicals like people would be very upset if that happened in the book industry so when you're thinking of why gamers are so upset of why physical copies are going away just think
• 1:20:44
  [UNKNOWN]: They're doing a way with so much gaming history that that is why gaming enthusiasts are upset now people who just devil people who just you know jump in every now and then as far as in a gaming industry And play like maybe one or two games a year.
• 1:21:00
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't think this will affect them as much basically We're talking about a significant portion of hardcore gamers being upset about this because even when
• 1:21:14
  [UNKNOWN]: Xbox, I believe it was DRM, I hope I'm saying it right, but basically when a PlayStation went at Xbox for having an always online type of system to where you had to be online to play physical copies even if it was a single player only game, I think that no internet slash DRM pathway that PlayStation was going on.
• 1:21:36
  [UNKNOWN]: I think specifically it was like E3 2013 when it was
• 1:21:42
  [UNKNOWN]: I think that lit people to believe that physical copies was all it was going to be here for the long haul, but now
• 1:21:49
  [UNKNOWN]: the famous phrase pops up once again you live long enough to see itself become a villain and a lot of people are saying RIP PlayStation 1994 to 2026 now of course I won't go that far because if you don't know Sony has 45% of the entire gaming global share as far as the PS5 with 78 million units
• 1:22:12
  [UNKNOWN]: And as far as 93 million units as of March 2026, Xbox holds 23 to 27% of the global share market.
• 1:22:21
  [UNKNOWN]: And Nintendo holds a whopping 24 to 27.
• 1:22:25
  [UNKNOWN]: So PlayStation leading the pack by this much and these type of tactics being implemented at this point in time is why a certain someone, you know what I'm saying?
• 1:22:34
  [UNKNOWN]: All right, my phone.
• 1:22:35
  [UNKNOWN]: Basically, I may have predicted that if PlayStation keeps
• 1:22:40
  [UNKNOWN]: Lapping Xbox as far as sales.
• 1:22:43
  [UNKNOWN]: We will end up with stuff like this in ladies and gentlemen.
• 1:22:45
  [UNKNOWN]: Look no further.
• 1:22:46
  [UNKNOWN]: Shepherd.
• 1:22:47
  [UNKNOWN]: Just look at the state of gaming.
• 1:22:49
  [UNKNOWN]: Like what is going on?
• 1:22:51
  [UNKNOWN]: As now when you buy a digital copy and whenever physical copies are completely like throwing out the window in 2028, they essentially could pull the game whenever they feel like it.
• 1:23:01
  [UNKNOWN]: Now of course not to be that guy.
• 1:23:04
  [UNKNOWN]: I've never had a game that I played pulled off of the digital store from why I couldn't play it.
• 1:23:08
  [UNKNOWN]: But there are certain scenarios where that does happen.
• 1:23:11
  [UNKNOWN]: More specifically, when it comes to the Game Boy example that I gave older games that may not have the biggest fan base, what if they cut that completely and now you can't play that game at all.
• 1:23:23
  [UNKNOWN]: I imagine for the one or two people out there who's playing Concord, they just took that, I think they did take
• 1:23:33
  [UNKNOWN]: Well, I think concord was free.
• 1:23:36
  [UNKNOWN]: A concord asks game that you pay for and let's just say it doesn't perform well.
• 1:23:40
  [UNKNOWN]: So now they do away with the supporting of that game and just so happens that the game is now unplayable.
• 1:23:50
  [UNKNOWN]: I think what physical copies you counteract that and of course when it comes to actually being able to pay for a game and thinking,
• 1:23:58
  [UNKNOWN]: that you could play for the foreseeable future.
• 1:24:01
  [UNKNOWN]: That is now forever lost.
• 1:24:03
  [UNKNOWN]: You always have to think in a back year mind if this game loses support, then you would run the risk of paying money and not being able to play your actual game.
• 1:24:13
  [UNKNOWN]: And that latest gentleman is the side day of history.
• 1:24:18
  [UNKNOWN]: Now, of course, I don't want to focus on this too much because it's a very simplistic subject matter as far as Sony going digital only January 2028, but I did want to talk about play stations overall game plan as Sony came out.
• 1:24:37
  [UNKNOWN]: And, no, not Sony.
• 1:24:39
  [UNKNOWN]: Insiders came out and said that Sony is potentially looking at a premium home console.
• 1:24:45
  [UNKNOWN]: A handheld companion device, a cloud focus hardware and multiple PlayStation hardware tiers.
• 1:24:51
  [UNKNOWN]: So when it comes to those game plans, I believe physical additions is really going to be a thing at a pass.
• 1:25:00
  [UNKNOWN]: And this ultimately,
• 1:25:04
  [UNKNOWN]: What Sony is doing is leading the pack.
• 1:25:07
  [UNKNOWN]: They're leading the global market share about so much in the gaming industry that this type of move is only inevitable as far as copycasts the pop-up like Xbox, like Nintendo, and for them to do the same thing.
• 1:25:19
  [UNKNOWN]: Because of course, I believe if they keep physical copies, it would be great PR for them.
• 1:25:25
  [UNKNOWN]: But guess what?
• 1:25:27
  [UNKNOWN]: To developers, the higher-ups, looking at the manufacturing car same basically, saying to themselves, you know what I'm saying?
• 1:25:34
  [UNKNOWN]: We beat him.
• 1:25:34
  [UNKNOWN]: We go full Microsoft and Nintendo devs is like, well, PlayStation do it.
• 1:25:38
  [UNKNOWN]: We could do it too and ladies and gentlemen.
• 1:25:40
  [UNKNOWN]: That's how it starts.
• 1:25:42
  [UNKNOWN]: It's almost as if Rockstar knew what was coming in the foreseeable future because just a week ago, we were talking about GTA 6 not coming with a physical disc.
• 1:25:53
  [UNKNOWN]: Now, of course, it could come in the foreseeable future, but with the latest announcement, PlayStation probably not right.
• 1:25:59
  [UNKNOWN]: It seems like Rockstar knew this was coming down to Pipeline.
• 1:26:02
  [UNKNOWN]: They already said, the physical edition, if you buy it, you're just going to get a code.
• 1:26:06
  [UNKNOWN]: So I don't know who's out there buying physical editions, but don't remember.
• 1:26:09
  [UNKNOWN]: Don't be mad.
• 1:26:10
  [UNKNOWN]: This is only a code.
• 1:26:11
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm telling you right now.
• 1:26:12
  [UNKNOWN]: You're going to buy a physical copy.
• 1:26:13
  [UNKNOWN]: And you're going to be completely all right.
• 1:26:15
  [UNKNOWN]: And upset and be welded because it's just going to be a code in the box.
• 1:26:21
  [UNKNOWN]: Last thing on this is that I believe even though this is a big obstacle as far as physical copies being completely done away with January 20, 28, the work around is definitely emulation.
• 1:26:33
  [UNKNOWN]: I believe when it comes to software and the ability to mimic old hardware as far as NES on PC, as far as legal emulators, of course, you know, we can't talk about that the ones.
• 1:26:48
  [UNKNOWN]: I think it's
• 1:26:49
  [UNKNOWN]: in relation.
• 1:26:50
  [UNKNOWN]: It's probably the best work around and that is my main solution now, but give to you as far as how you can still play your old games with peace of mind that it won't just be taken off your console, your hardware.
• 1:27:04
  [UNKNOWN]: Because now with the digital only aspect, that is essentially where we're going.
• 1:27:08
  [UNKNOWN]: Now, personally, it's not that big of a deal to me, personally.
• 1:27:15
  [UNKNOWN]: because I can't think of the last game I bought as far as the physical copy.
• 1:27:19
  [UNKNOWN]: So I'm not going to act like, oh, this is the worst thing in the world.
• 1:27:22
  [UNKNOWN]: What I'm specifically talking about is hardcore gamers out there that love to collect and preserve gaming history.
• 1:27:31
  [UNKNOWN]: taking away their option is why I feel for them and it's why a lot of people are upset because that option alone should always be there.
• 1:27:40
  [UNKNOWN]: And even though a lot of people buy digital copies, I don't think you should do completely away with the physical copies, right?
• 1:27:50
  [UNKNOWN]: And I think that's essentially the argument from a lot of gamers.
• 1:27:56
  [UNKNOWN]: We're not saying it's going to be the end of the world, but for people who are avic collectors and who love to preserve certain gaming history, like an expedition, 33 came out, 20, 28.
• 1:28:06
  [UNKNOWN]: You don't have a physical copy.
• 1:28:08
  [UNKNOWN]: You would never be able to say, oh, I have a physical collector copy of expedition 33, one of the greatest games in the past five years, right?
• 1:28:17
  [UNKNOWN]: They just wouldn't be a thing.
• 1:28:20
  [UNKNOWN]: that is why a lot of people are upset so it's not the biggest deal in the world to the average gamer but the collectors and the people who preserve history and the gaming industry that is why they are upset because they're completely doing the way with that option as far as PlayStation ending physical copies by January 20 28 so with that being said click my link through my bio to follow me on my social media so let me know
• 1:28:44
  [UNKNOWN]: if you're on Spotify.
• 1:28:45
  [UNKNOWN]: Comment down below.
• 1:28:47
  [UNKNOWN]: Does this affect you as far as Sony going completely physical?
• 1:28:52
  [UNKNOWN]: And if it does, what is the biggest reason that you would give to Sony to continue producing physical copies of video games?
• 1:29:02
  [UNKNOWN]: Shepard, promise me you'll tell them to subscribe for that free content.
• 1:29:06
  [UNKNOWN]: Now ladies and gentlemen, today we are getting into Mecca,
• 1:29:15
  [UNKNOWN]: You can't stop me, let's go!
• 1:29:17
  [UNKNOWN]: Let's go!
• 1:29:18
  [UNKNOWN]: Shepard.
• 1:29:19
  [UNKNOWN]: Just don't look at this stuff.
• 1:29:20
  [UNKNOWN]: Don't!
• 1:29:20
  [UNKNOWN]: Let's go!
• 1:29:21
  [UNKNOWN]: Let's go!
• 1:29:21
  [UNKNOWN]: Let's go!
• 1:29:22
  [UNKNOWN]: Let's go!
• 1:29:22
  [UNKNOWN]: Let's go!
• 1:29:23
  [UNKNOWN]: Let's go!
• 1:29:24
  [UNKNOWN]: Let's go!
• 1:29:25
  [UNKNOWN]: Let's go!
• 1:29:27
  [UNKNOWN]: Let's go!
• 1:29:27
  [UNKNOWN]: Let's go!
• 1:29:28
  [UNKNOWN]: Let's go!
• 1:29:28
  [UNKNOWN]: Let's go!
• 1:29:29
  [UNKNOWN]: Let's go!
• 1:29:30
  [UNKNOWN]: Let's go!
• 1:29:30
  [UNKNOWN]: Let's go!
• 1:29:31
  [UNKNOWN]: Let's go!
• 1:29:41
  [UNKNOWN]: of course that was the one and only RDC as far as the quote whether the skit about how game developers feel when the simple game blows up and when it comes to make a chameleon even though the gameplay loop seemingly is simplistic is very artistic in his own right.
• 1:30:02
  [UNKNOWN]: As the main reason why making a chameleon is blowing up is one because of creative expression and we see that with a plethora of players and how they have basically
• 1:30:15
  [UNKNOWN]: Blended in with the environment.
• 1:30:17
  [UNKNOWN]: Now at first glance, you probably think it to yourself, what in the world is a Mecca million and ladies and gentlemen?
• 1:30:25
  [UNKNOWN]: That's what we're here to talk about today.
• 1:30:26
  [UNKNOWN]: As you already know over here in the Tories, Mass Effect, we get into the gaming and music I piece that notoriously affect the masses and safe to say, Mecca million is a viral insanely viral.
• 1:30:38
  [UNKNOWN]: Motoplayer hide and seek party game developed by Japanese
• 1:30:45
  [UNKNOWN]: underscore one two two four and haga nero, hopefully I said that right, but or haga narrow, I think that's how you say it.
• 1:30:54
  [UNKNOWN]: At the end of the day, two developers.
• 1:30:57
  [UNKNOWN]: Yes, you heard me correctly.
• 1:30:58
  [UNKNOWN]: You guys.
• 1:31:00
  [UNKNOWN]: Two developers generated not one.
• 1:31:05
  [UNKNOWN]: Not two.
• 1:31:07
  [UNKNOWN]: But roughly 50 million dollars.
• 1:31:14
  [UNKNOWN]: So we're not even talking about a Mr. Mr. B skit.
• 1:31:17
  [UNKNOWN]: We're talking about actual two people being able to split a $50 million prize pool in guess what it's still growing as analytics dreams video and Spotify to see the video along with the audio because currently ladies and gentlemen not only is making a
• 1:31:40
  [UNKNOWN]: No, it was a fourth most play game on Steam I believe, because as you can see right here when you look at the chart, as far as the Steam charts, because this game is only available on Steam.
• 1:31:49
  [UNKNOWN]: So...
• 1:31:50
  [UNKNOWN]: When you look at the steam charts, once again, and the little dreams video Spotify to see the video along with the audio, because we're currently looking at the steam charts.
• 1:31:57
  [UNKNOWN]: It has 62 current players, 62 thousand concurrent players right now, a 24-hour peak of 280,000 and an all-time peak of 340,000 that happened eight days ago.
• 1:32:10
  [UNKNOWN]: So as far as this particular game, it came out,
• 1:32:14
  [UNKNOWN]: June 10th, 2026 and is already notoriously affecting the masses in a way that we can already quantify as a hit.
• 1:32:27
  [UNKNOWN]: As of course, out the gate having those very impressive numbers at what's seemingly as a simplistic game, I think the two developers is through the roof, and that's probably not even the best, the very aesthetic, and that's probably not even the best adjective to, you know, label to define what's going through them emotionally right now.
• 1:32:48
  [UNKNOWN]: As even though I joke around with the RDC skip,
• 1:32:51
  [UNKNOWN]: This game is very much respected in the community because not only is the gameplay loop simplistic, but the thing that's respected the most is the ability to replace yourself with real-time painting camouflage system.
• 1:33:07
  [UNKNOWN]: which is very in depth once you get into the actual gameplay loop.
• 1:33:11
  [UNKNOWN]: There's a lot of sample colors with the eyed dropper tool.
• 1:33:14
  [UNKNOWN]: You can paint textures and patterns.
• 1:33:17
  [UNKNOWN]: You can adjust poses as far as lying down.
• 1:33:19
  [UNKNOWN]: You can be curled up, etc.
• 1:33:21
  [UNKNOWN]: blend into walls, floors, paintings, furnitures, and scenery.
• 1:33:25
  [UNKNOWN]: And guess what, ladies and gentlemen, once again, and a little dreams video on Spotify to see the video along with the audio, because we actually have some examples.
• 1:33:32
  [UNKNOWN]: Because I wanted to show you just how
• 1:33:36
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, how much creative expression is being shown with these artists.
• 1:33:40
  [UNKNOWN]: So this is the first one shout out to I think this is Valkyrie Valkyrie shout out to her as this is her uh, make a chameleon gameplay and just look how her artistic ability is being showcased.
• 1:33:57
  [UNKNOWN]: And hopefully you saw the gameplay loop at the beginning.
• 1:33:59
  [UNKNOWN]: There's a player inside that painting.
• 1:34:01
  [UNKNOWN]: Now, have I been able to find it?
• 1:34:03
  [UNKNOWN]: You know, have I been able to find it?
• 1:34:04
  [UNKNOWN]: Of course not.
• 1:34:05
  [UNKNOWN]: Ladies and gentlemen, this is one of the greatest making a million displays I've ever seen as far as gameplay.
• 1:34:11
  [UNKNOWN]: I kid you're not.
• 1:34:12
  [UNKNOWN]: This is phenomenal.
• 1:34:15
  [UNKNOWN]: I still haven't been able to find like where she's actually at in this painting.
• 1:34:19
  [UNKNOWN]: I think she's by...
• 1:34:21
  [UNKNOWN]: Uh, the girl's head.
• 1:34:22
  [UNKNOWN]: Well, I said to go Mona Lisa's head.
• 1:34:25
  [UNKNOWN]: I think she's behind it because as you can see her name is up there, but I'm I'm I still don't know if there's actually her
• 1:34:37
  [UNKNOWN]: Like, you get, whenever she goes to the side, you can't even see the head coming out of painting.
• 1:34:41
  [UNKNOWN]: Like, I don't know what she's at at all.
• 1:34:42
  [UNKNOWN]: So anyways, what that mean is that here's another example.
• 1:34:45
  [UNKNOWN]: Shouted to Valkyrie for that game play, that very impressive game play.
• 1:34:49
  [UNKNOWN]: And then of course, you see another person just showcasing the actual artistic expression on full display and all the tools that's available for you to blend in with the environment.
• 1:34:59
  [UNKNOWN]: So
• 1:35:00
  [UNKNOWN]: As you can see right here, this is basically the quintessential display of what you can do a mecca commillion and why everybody enjoys it so much.
• 1:35:09
  [UNKNOWN]: Imagine infinite possibilities as far as creative expression.
• 1:35:14
  [UNKNOWN]: That's essentially what the gameplay loop is for mecca commillion.
• 1:35:17
  [UNKNOWN]: Get a
• 1:35:22
  [UNKNOWN]: have a ball of painting itself in the environment and try to find other people if you're at a hunter.
• 1:35:30
  [UNKNOWN]: And this is just like one of the few examples I've had somebody out of my phone.
• 1:35:35
  [UNKNOWN]: Do I have on two times my phone?
• 1:35:37
  [UNKNOWN]: That's me.
• 1:35:37
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, usually, I don't know, it's on one time.
• 1:35:40
  [UNKNOWN]: It's just a split up video, my phone.
• 1:35:41
  [UNKNOWN]: Okay, so this is essentially what you can do as far as showcasing if you're a real RT's out there.
• 1:35:48
  [UNKNOWN]: So,
• 1:35:50
  [UNKNOWN]: As you can tell, if you're a hunter, finding this specific person, I mean, it'd be pretty typical.
• 1:35:55
  [UNKNOWN]: So I'm not going to keep going with the displays of artistic expression, Kat, thank you, got the point.
• 1:35:59
  [UNKNOWN]: But there was another one I was wanting to show.
• 1:36:02
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I wanted to show one more painting.
• 1:36:04
  [UNKNOWN]: So sometimes, you have a very talented artist, like we just saw with Valkyrie and things that nature.
• 1:36:11
  [UNKNOWN]: And then, you know, I'm not trying to, um,
• 1:36:15
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, basically I'm not trying to describe it this individual, but um, you know, they, they had the right idea, but um, seems like it just, you know, sometimes it's just not it.
• 1:36:26
  [UNKNOWN]: You got it.
• 1:36:26
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm sorry.
• 1:36:27
  [UNKNOWN]: See that's the problem.
• 1:36:29
  [UNKNOWN]: You know, from far away, maybe, but from close up, it just, it didn't work, man.
• 1:36:35
  [UNKNOWN]: He said, you know, he said, then, you know, mission failed, give me the next time.
• 1:36:38
  [UNKNOWN]: You know, it was my little son, but I sound by for that because you know, at the end of the day, you know, he tried his best, but what ended up happening was, I'm gonna finish it fast.
• 1:36:50
  [UNKNOWN]: We'll get him next door.
• 1:36:51
  [UNKNOWN]: you know what I'm saying like every time you do something that's extra in this game you you get exposed expeditiously because you may think you're cooking right here and then a hunter pulls up and he looks closely and he thinks himself I know he's the hunter coming up on this body saying
• 1:37:14
  [UNKNOWN]: We should fell.
• 1:37:15
  [UNKNOWN]: We'll get them next door.
• 1:37:16
  [UNKNOWN]: So anyways, as you can tell, some people are very great when it comes to the artistic expression.
• 1:37:20
  [UNKNOWN]: Some people, you know, seemingly are trying their best and they still get found, you know, they still get found that they're not the greatest artists like that they think they are.
• 1:37:28
  [UNKNOWN]: So, what that being said, not the rag on that individual creator, obviously this is all jokes.
• 1:37:32
  [UNKNOWN]: But the ultimate depiction of mechicomillion is
• 1:37:42
  [UNKNOWN]: the two creators making a man with the amount of money from this specific game because you know over here covering the gaming and music I piece at notoriously affect the masses safe to say if you have two developers splitting roughly fifty million dollars because this specific game I believe is five ninety nine I believe that is the price point I don't know if I'm mistaken with that one I have the price point somewhere so this game is five yeah five ninety nine the U.S.D.
• 1:38:07
  [UNKNOWN]: five twenty
• 1:38:10
  [UNKNOWN]: I think when you are two developers, as far as Lamarion, who is the lead developer, the director, art is publisher handling of the maps, models, core design that you have, Haga Nero, that is the co-creator, focus on the system development slash programming.
• 1:38:31
  [UNKNOWN]: and you end up generating roughly $50 million.
• 1:38:34
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, at this point, it led just in the gaming industry.
• 1:38:38
  [UNKNOWN]: I can't deny the respect has to be through the roof.
• 1:38:41
  [UNKNOWN]: Two developers, it doesn't matter how you do it, you know.
• 1:38:46
  [UNKNOWN]: In sports terms, you basically want a championship with less than half of the game and developers that usually it takes for a hit game.
• 1:38:54
  [UNKNOWN]: As two people you did that unthinkable and I just think is very commendable and shout out to those two developers for accomplishing the unthinkable and just 16 days.
• 1:39:05
  [UNKNOWN]: As even though this specific game,
• 1:39:10
  [UNKNOWN]: Well, no, technically it's been 19 days.
• 1:39:12
  [UNKNOWN]: Maybe no, this specific game generated 10 million copies and 16 days reached 2 million in 5 days.
• 1:39:19
  [UNKNOWN]: Reach 3 million quickly 5 million in 10 days and then of course, 10 million in the span of 16 days.
• 1:39:25
  [UNKNOWN]: I believe.
• 1:39:27
  [UNKNOWN]: when you look at make a chameleon as far as in the totality of the gaming industry is going up there with the likes of among us is going up there with games like i'm not going to say fall down she's yet i think among us is the greatest comparison as far as the trajectory of this specific game because the gameplay loop is definitely there but the engagement factor
• 1:39:51
  [UNKNOWN]: I think it's heavily because of word of mouth.
• 1:39:54
  [UNKNOWN]: I think when it comes to Twitch, when it comes to YouTube, word of mouth, that is the main marketing factors for this specific game because once again, it's two developers, so they can't really have a proper marketing campaign to go up with the likes of a counter strike to marketing campaign, do the two marketing campaign, PUBG, you get the point, right?
• 1:40:14
  [UNKNOWN]: Two developers, unless they expand their team and investors, I believe,
• 1:40:20
  [UNKNOWN]: their marketing campaign is strictly held by the fans of what other game was strictly held by the fans as far as the marketing campaign among us so now I believe of course with the money that they've acquired and garnered I'm sure they can get a official press release of marketing campaign for the game but as of right now when you look at the inspiration if you don't know fun fact
• 1:40:47
  [UNKNOWN]: These two developers prototype the core paint to blend loop in Fortnite.
• 1:40:52
  [UNKNOWN]: So if you didn't know that, when I you know, that's why you should rate this fast version.
• 1:40:55
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm saying when I ain't got it, I ain't got to do all that juice.
• 1:40:58
  [UNKNOWN]: Come on now.
• 1:41:01
  [UNKNOWN]: But you definitely rate this five source as I didn't even know that and it makes so much sense.
• 1:41:06
  [UNKNOWN]: Now, how they came out with this major hit because basically this is the first ever technical.
• 1:41:17
  [UNKNOWN]: technical hit under their umbrella instead of the fortnight umbrella because you know fortnight has that creator program.
• 1:41:23
  [UNKNOWN]: I believe you can get paid from it, but having this in their own ecosystem as far as being able to develop this game in under two months.
• 1:41:33
  [UNKNOWN]: Approximately two months and already having that fortnight custom hide and seeking mode in the tub.
• 1:41:40
  [UNKNOWN]: It built a level of coat-like fanbase because of course.
• 1:41:45
  [UNKNOWN]: People know them from the Peyton Blin and the Fortnite.
• 1:41:48
  [UNKNOWN]: What is this making a comedian game basically doing?
• 1:41:51
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, you're painting yourself and you're blending into the environment.
• 1:41:53
  [UNKNOWN]: So it's not like they're going out of the way to make a different game.
• 1:41:57
  [UNKNOWN]: They're sticking with what they're known for and basically it rewarded them tenfold.
• 1:42:02
  [UNKNOWN]: And of course, other games that have had a similar gameplay loop have been like prop type transformations.
• 1:42:11
  [UNKNOWN]: Basically,
• 1:42:13
  [UNKNOWN]: Prop Hunt, they had a formula where you could replace the objects in the map, and that was a whole gameplay loop as far as finding, okay, which object you replace.
• 1:42:24
  [UNKNOWN]: But in this one, it's completely different, and I believe it's similar to Prop Hunt.
• 1:42:32
  [UNKNOWN]: But it's different enough, which reminds me of the Fortnite-to-pubgy type of stylistic differences, especially when you look at the core gameplay loop of Fortnite and
• 1:42:43
  [UNKNOWN]: PUBG being a battle royale.
• 1:42:45
  [UNKNOWN]: The core gameplay loop of prop hunt and mega community is simply hide and sink.
• 1:42:50
  [UNKNOWN]: You know me, so it's very unique as far as a specific artistic expression that mega community has, but the core gameplay loop is essentially hide and sink.
• 1:42:59
  [UNKNOWN]: So getting more to the game, there's an infection mode which eliminates players, eliminated players, become hunters, there's a double mode where everyone hides first and switches to hunting.
• 1:43:10
  [UNKNOWN]: And now
• 1:43:11
  [UNKNOWN]: That may sound confusing as at first.
• 1:43:14
  [UNKNOWN]: I believe what this means is you hide your player, right?
• 1:43:18
  [UNKNOWN]: And then you switch to a hunter and you're hunting the other players.
• 1:43:21
  [UNKNOWN]: That's why I think.
• 1:43:22
  [UNKNOWN]: Now, of course, I've never seen the double mode.
• 1:43:24
  [UNKNOWN]: I've seen infection mode a bunch of times.
• 1:43:26
  [UNKNOWN]: I haven't seen the double mode.
• 1:43:27
  [UNKNOWN]: So I think I'm just assuming that's how it works.
• 1:43:29
  [UNKNOWN]: Now, if I'm wrong, I'm wrong, but when it comes to what I'm thinking, I think that's how it works.
• 1:43:34
  [UNKNOWN]: But as far as actual description, it says everyone hides first and then switches to hunting.
• 1:43:38
  [UNKNOWN]: So
• 1:43:39
  [UNKNOWN]: But you want to make too much sense to hide to hunt yourself, so I'm assuming that you hunt another players.
• 1:43:44
  [UNKNOWN]: But when it comes to official maps included, there's a hide and seek mansion, there's the indoor country, sewer, back rooms, ping-win hotel, sugar land, and Osaka added in the update of 1.7.0.
• 1:43:58
  [UNKNOWN]: So basically, what this game being on steam, there's so many
• 1:44:07
  [UNKNOWN]: there could be a miss potential and we're already seeing that with popular community maps, such as the art gallery, the fall guys level, there's a Minecraft house, there's a swimming pool, Viking dining, the market, maple story, let's show it.
• 1:44:23
  [UNKNOWN]: Where are the world?
• 1:44:24
  [UNKNOWN]: Oh, no, I can't you know, I don't know how to pronounce it.
• 1:44:27
  [UNKNOWN]: Let me see if Jarvis could read it out for me, because I don't know what that is.
• 1:44:30
  [UNKNOWN]: Maple story, let's show it.
• 1:44:32
  [UNKNOWN]: Let's show it, okay, all right, we're just gonna leave it at that.
• 1:44:34
  [UNKNOWN]: So basically.
• 1:44:36
  [UNKNOWN]: this is a plethora of maps already in a game community supports through the roof i'll be interested to see what they can continue to build upon because i do believe this is uh
• 1:44:47
  [UNKNOWN]: Amongst style of trajectory, I don't believe that is going to, well, I don't want to say that because that's like a Debbie Downer.
• 1:44:53
  [UNKNOWN]: Unless you celebrate with the currently accomplishing, but what I will say is it's definitely reminding me of Amongst is, especially with the marketing campaign and just the gameplay loop in general.
• 1:45:02
  [UNKNOWN]: So, the question is, how long will it last, as it is the 44th most played game esteemed history by peak concurrent viewers, which is insane.
• 1:45:15
  [UNKNOWN]: Mecha Camillion is also one of Steam's top five most played games as far as June 2026, so that's phenomenal.
• 1:45:25
  [UNKNOWN]: And you know, we already went over the stats as far as the all-time peak being eight days ago as far as 340,000 players.
• 1:45:31
  [UNKNOWN]: Now,
• 1:45:38
  [UNKNOWN]: It surpassed so many games as far as the totality of his run, making it his highest peak was fourth most play game on the scene platform as of right now it is a 14 but
• 1:45:49
  [UNKNOWN]: When you look at Antotality, it was one of the most popular games of last month, TikTok, YouTube, Shorts, Twitch, Instagram, Reels, are beyond a pivotal factor as far as the marketing campaign, 50 plus million dollars to be split with two developers.
• 1:46:07
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm pretty sure they could come up with some type of marketing strategy outside of that to continue to growth of this game.
• 1:46:14
  [UNKNOWN]: When you look at it in totality, everybody's enjoying it.
• 1:46:18
  [UNKNOWN]: So with that being said, let's transition into everybody's reviews as far as the masses.
• 1:46:23
  [UNKNOWN]: As we're going to start with PC game or giving me a community in the 82 out of 100, saying quote, even with its blimmishes, mecha chameleons game of competitive camouflage as a multiplayer experience that exceeds its friend Slop, trappings.
• 1:46:38
  [UNKNOWN]: It's definitely friend Slop.
• 1:46:39
  [UNKNOWN]: Great to see you guys.
• 1:46:41
  [UNKNOWN]: Mega-Commilion is the first breakout game in years where I felt like I'm applying skills and understanding with broader relevance.
• 1:46:48
  [UNKNOWN]: It's a delightfully elevated take on hide and seek.
• 1:46:52
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm sorry that Mega-Commilion is the special sort of game that can remind me of how much fun I can have being a top tier.
• 1:47:01
  [UNKNOWN]: We don't say that word over here.
• 1:47:02
  [UNKNOWN]: We just go to say, it starts with a B as a torch.
• 1:47:05
  [UNKNOWN]: So, oh, you know that man needs help.
• 1:47:07
  [UNKNOWN]: No one's sorry.
• 1:47:10
  [UNKNOWN]: PG platform over here.
• 1:47:11
  [UNKNOWN]: Anyways, um, insert coins gave it to seven out of two.
• 1:47:15
  [UNKNOWN]: Okay, you know, you mean reading off all the scores over here, once again, these are the masses reviews review roundup.
• 1:47:21
  [UNKNOWN]: So, insert coins gives their quote saying quote, a hide and seek where you paint your white body to blend into the scenery.
• 1:47:29
  [UNKNOWN]: Mecha Camillion turns camouflage into an art and it is gloriously absurd.
• 1:47:35
  [UNKNOWN]: And the verdict is recommended.
• 1:47:36
  [UNKNOWN]: We watched a player paint themselves as a cut of me.
• 1:47:40
  [UNKNOWN]: What in the actual?
• 1:47:41
  [UNKNOWN]: Shepherd.
• 1:47:41
  [UNKNOWN]: What in the?
• 1:47:42
  [UNKNOWN]: Just look at the state of gaming.
• 1:47:44
  [UNKNOWN]: Like, what is going on?
• 1:47:45
  [UNKNOWN]: So anyways, then we keep going on and then steam.
• 1:47:48
  [UNKNOWN]: We're going to go to a random steam reviewer that gave it, um, let's see.
• 1:47:55
  [UNKNOWN]: Which steam review don't want to choose?
• 1:47:57
  [UNKNOWN]: Let's use this one.
• 1:47:57
  [UNKNOWN]: Okay, 8.5 at a 10 saying quote, incredibly unique and fun is basically an artist version of prop hunt and is extremely satisfying to pull off when you hide well in playing site.
• 1:48:10
  [UNKNOWN]: 8.5 at a 10 got gifted this game, very good hide and see game such as simple fun idea, hope they improve the game and add quality of life updates and fixes bugs.
• 1:48:21
  [UNKNOWN]: And then let's go to Metacritic user that gave it to 8.1 at a 10, saying quote, no, basically it's just a general, it's just generally favorable individuals, users, and include high praise for creativity, last for friends, lower for buzz, seeker, frustration, and so low play.
• 1:48:39
  [UNKNOWN]: You know, if you are playing with artists, I could see it as a hunter, you can get pretty frustrating, I could do not.
• 1:48:45
  [UNKNOWN]: So yeah, as far as the review roundups, safe to say everybody very much enjoys it.
• 1:48:53
  [UNKNOWN]: And with that being said, I do believe there was something else I was wondering again to as far as the future of this specific game, but I'm sorry I think we recovered it all.
• 1:49:03
  [UNKNOWN]: So with the two developers, I'd be interested to see what this means for the gaming industry because you know,
• 1:49:17
  [UNKNOWN]: What's going on right now?
• 1:49:19
  [UNKNOWN]: A lot of AAA studios who horrendously flop.
• 1:49:21
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm not looking at, I'm not gonna say any names, engage, but, you know, when it comes to certain games that may not have the biggest development team and may have just mammoth of money coming their way, I just know other huge studios, such as Bungie with Marathon, I'm sorry, you know, I just said one of the same names.
• 1:49:40
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm a follow.
• 1:49:41
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I just said I wasn't gonna say any names, but I didn't messed up everything, you know what I'm saying?
• 1:49:46
  [UNKNOWN]: just look at the state of game crazy like what is going on i mean this is basically demonstrates that a five dollar indie game can compete with a triple a
• 1:49:56
  [UNKNOWN]: release through creativity and share ability alone.
• 1:49:59
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, once again, the power of word of mouth showcases how powerful it is.
• 1:50:05
  [UNKNOWN]: You know, as a simple, as a simplistic of a review, as I can give for a mega-commillion, because not only is what this one of the more creative games I've seen, but is also very simplistic, which is why two developers just ended up generating
• 1:50:29
  [UNKNOWN]: So that being said, click my link to my bio to follow me on my social media as in of course.
• 1:50:33
  [UNKNOWN]: If you're on Spotify, make sure to comment down below if you've played, make a commission.
• 1:50:38
  [UNKNOWN]: What is your favorite aspect about the game?
• 1:50:43
  [UNKNOWN]: Shepard.
• 1:50:44
  [UNKNOWN]: Promise me you'll tell them to subscribe for free content.
• 1:50:47
  [UNKNOWN]: Now of course over here at Natorius Mass Effect we get into the gaming and music copies and notoriously affect the masses and guess what?
• 1:50:54
  [UNKNOWN]: Shepard.
• 1:50:55
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
• 1:50:55
  [UNKNOWN]: Just look at the state of gaming.
• 1:50:57
  [UNKNOWN]: Like, what is going on?
• 1:50:58
  [UNKNOWN]: Analytic Dreams video on Spotify to see the video along with the audio because currently we're about to get into the second most play game on the Steam platform.
• 1:51:12
  [UNKNOWN]: As, of course, throughout my six years of notorious mass-of-faking, I mean, thanks to the supporters out there.
• 1:51:20
  [UNKNOWN]: Well, I just, but just give them some praise.
• 1:51:25
  [UNKNOWN]: Anyways, after giving y'all praise, the safe to say I've never seen Dota 2 be outlasted.
• 1:51:33
  [UNKNOWN]: But basically, Tasc bar hero being the second most play game on steam.
• 1:51:39
  [UNKNOWN]: Throughout my entire six year coverage, as far as notorious mass affecting gaming and music IPs, I've always seen Counter Strike 2 and Dota 2 in the top 2.
• 1:51:53
  [UNKNOWN]: So now when you look at the task bar hero being the second most played game, I think that's a humongous deal because of course it doesn't stop there ladies and gentlemen.
• 1:52:05
  [UNKNOWN]: As, of course, as you can see right here, this game just came out.
• 1:52:09
  [UNKNOWN]: But not only did it just come out, but the concurrent player count has not dropped below 400,000.
• 1:52:17
  [UNKNOWN]: And as of right now, if you don't know, I'm going through the whole timeline of this game being released.
• 1:52:22
  [UNKNOWN]: And as you can see, it's consistently holding that 400 plus concurrent player count.
• 1:52:28
  [UNKNOWN]: Of course, the all-time peak was 11 hours ago with 546,000, which basically let's you know.
• 1:52:35
  [UNKNOWN]: that this game is going to be around for quite some time you guys and now we have to get into the drama as when it comes to the review and sales roundup of the different games we get into for this game in particular
• 1:52:56
  [UNKNOWN]: A lot of people are having certain accusations and let's just say obstacles when it comes to the gameplay loop.
• 1:53:04
  [UNKNOWN]: As when people come out, I'm trying to see back a fight.
• 1:53:07
  [UNKNOWN]: Okay, so people come out in their saying that there are a lot of performance issues and task bar interaction bugs.
• 1:53:17
  [UNKNOWN]: Now of course,
• 1:53:18
  [UNKNOWN]: with that being said, I didn't want to get to the developers and the producers at a specific game because if you don't know, it's such a small team because new gym studio, which is the developers for this game, or no, they're the publishers.
• 1:53:33
  [UNKNOWN]: They are a Korean mobile focus indie known for idol RPGs such as,
• 1:53:40
  [UNKNOWN]: it's a guy fighting girls and of course task bar heroes is the biggest breakout baffer biggest hit baffer and that is not even close and as a free game ladies and gentlemen you probably didn't you know I probably should have started with that you know in today's age everybody everybody wants some for free all right my fault as those are Xbox talking points anyways when it comes to tesseract studio they are the code developer so once again
• 1:54:06
  [UNKNOWN]: a small indie team and their prior games they were known for what games like Pinot, Pinot, Pinot, Pinot, Pinot, okay, hold them now.
• 1:54:15
  [UNKNOWN]: Let me get drivers to read this out.
• 1:54:16
  [UNKNOWN]: Who wouldn't actual put these letters together and say there's this actual word.
• 1:54:20
  [UNKNOWN]: There's no way.
• 1:54:20
  [UNKNOWN]: Let me see.
• 1:54:21
  [UNKNOWN]: Let me see if drivers could read this out for me.
• 1:54:25
  [UNKNOWN]: No, that's not it.
• 1:54:26
  [UNKNOWN]: Okay, anyway, so we're not going to get a read off of that.
• 1:54:28
  [UNKNOWN]: Let me see.
• 1:54:29
  [UNKNOWN]: Pinot, PTK, how to say let me see.
• 1:54:33
  [UNKNOWN]: Does that even pop up like how to say?
• 1:54:35
  [UNKNOWN]: Is that
• 1:54:37
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, see, oh, we found it.
• 1:54:40
  [UNKNOWN]: Okay, cool, cool, cool.
• 1:54:41
  [UNKNOWN]: So when it comes to our making research, shape to say, this actual word is pronounced like this.
• 1:54:46
  [UNKNOWN]: So, let me see if I can have this right out.
• 1:54:52
  [UNKNOWN]: Pronunciation of panoptica.
• 1:54:54
  [UNKNOWN]: What?
• 1:54:55
  [UNKNOWN]: See?
• 1:54:56
  [UNKNOWN]: You guys.
• 1:54:58
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm like, come on bro.
• 1:54:59
  [UNKNOWN]: Hey, bro.
• 1:54:59
  [UNKNOWN]: I tried to look it up.
• 1:55:00
  [UNKNOWN]: You know what I'm saying?
• 1:55:01
  [UNKNOWN]: Come on bro.
• 1:55:02
  [UNKNOWN]: No, bro.
• 1:55:02
  [UNKNOWN]: I know it's my job at the end of the day.
• 1:55:04
  [UNKNOWN]: I had to look it up.
• 1:55:04
  [UNKNOWN]: I had no idea how to say the word.
• 1:55:06
  [UNKNOWN]: So I kid you know that that was that threw me for a loop.
• 1:55:09
  [UNKNOWN]: I got to hear that one more time.
• 1:55:11
  [UNKNOWN]: Ladies and gentlemen.
• 1:55:11
  [UNKNOWN]: This is what learning looks like shout out to constantly.
• 1:55:14
  [UNKNOWN]: Pronunciation of panoptica.
• 1:55:16
  [UNKNOWN]: Okay, panoptica.
• 1:55:17
  [UNKNOWN]: There we go.
• 1:55:19
  [UNKNOWN]: You'll say you learned something every day.
• 1:55:22
  [UNKNOWN]: So anyways, Tesla Rax Studios, the co-developer for the co-developers for this particular game.
• 1:55:28
  [UNKNOWN]: have prior games like Panoptica, which is the idol RPG manager.
• 1:55:33
  [UNKNOWN]: So, safe to say they have a neck for these type of idol RPGs, new gym studio with RPGs like It's a codfighting girls, testorex studio with games like Panoptica.
• 1:55:45
  [UNKNOWN]: And of course, you have, they're known for another game such as Mini Cozing Room, which is also low profile.
• 1:55:52
  [UNKNOWN]: Now, of course, the reason why I say all this, is
• 1:55:55
  [UNKNOWN]: is because a lot of people are coming after them.
• 1:55:57
  [UNKNOWN]: Now, even valveed, hopped out of the woodworks valve, like the whole owner of Steam.
• 1:56:04
  [UNKNOWN]: They hopped out of the woodworks, and basically forced changes due to server load from bots slash farmers.
• 1:56:11
  [UNKNOWN]: And before you say, is that Kendrick Lamar?
• 1:56:12
  [UNKNOWN]: Is it okay, I got my dope on me?
• 1:56:14
  [UNKNOWN]: No, not those type of bots.
• 1:56:15
  [UNKNOWN]: We're actually talking about the task bar hero bots as apparently,
• 1:56:23
  [UNKNOWN]: when they forced the changes it was because of high level equipment certain levels from 25 to 90.
• 1:56:29
  [UNKNOWN]: and IB, uncommon, et cetera, had trading, slash, synthesis, restricted, or reset.
• 1:56:35
  [UNKNOWN]: Now, why we're gonna get into that in a second.
• 1:56:38
  [UNKNOWN]: The reason why I'm starting with drama is because this game is notoriously affecting the masses on Steam.
• 1:56:43
  [UNKNOWN]: But there's so much drama that you should be aware of before diving into this particular game.
• 1:56:47
  [UNKNOWN]: So you can't blame me if you still boot this game up and your PC blows up, you know what I'm saying?
• 1:56:53
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, your PC malfunction.
• 1:56:54
  [UNKNOWN]: So what the heck is this?
• 1:56:57
  [UNKNOWN]: Getting back into the drama.
• 1:57:00
  [UNKNOWN]: They essentially, that was it, okay, we go.
• 1:57:03
  [UNKNOWN]: They essentially had a restriction on those, or we said.
• 1:57:07
  [UNKNOWN]: And then they had only materials and select items remain freely tradable, freely tradable.
• 1:57:14
  [UNKNOWN]: And the marketplace was temporarily suspended at their peaks.
• 1:57:19
  [UNKNOWN]: Shepherd.
• 1:57:20
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I'm saying.
• 1:57:20
  [UNKNOWN]: Just look at the state of gaming.
• 1:57:22
  [UNKNOWN]: Like, what is going on?
• 1:57:24
  [UNKNOWN]: So Valve was looking at the state of task bar heroes and they'll say it to themselves.
• 1:57:29
  [UNKNOWN]: Not home I watch, you know what I'm gonna have this market place, which is running rampy without any laws and restrictions out here.
• 1:57:35
  [UNKNOWN]: You know what I'm saying?
• 1:57:38
  [UNKNOWN]: So keyword is temporarily suspended at peaks.
• 1:57:42
  [UNKNOWN]: Now, of course, the developers complied to prevent economic economy collapse in server issues.
• 1:57:49
  [UNKNOWN]: So the reason I'm starting with this is because not only are we dealing with a massive breakout hit, the second most play game on Steam.
• 1:57:57
  [UNKNOWN]: Also dealing with a small indie studio, a new gym studio, and of course Tesseract Studio, who are probably having all type of optimization issues because they did nothing everybody named Mama.
• 1:58:08
  [UNKNOWN]: It was going to hop on a game like they are as of right now.
• 1:58:11
  [UNKNOWN]: Once again, let me pull up the numbers one more time because ladies and gentlemen,
• 1:58:17
  [UNKNOWN]: Counter-strike 2, Dota 2, I don't think I've ever seen them this place this far, well, Dota 2 with this place, Counter-strike 2 is still number one.
• 1:58:23
  [UNKNOWN]: I've never seen Dota 2 this place as far as I'm a steam.
• 1:58:26
  [UNKNOWN]: For some reason, they just have a mammoth of a grip, like an iron grip on the top 2 as far as a steam charge.
• 1:58:33
  [UNKNOWN]: So...
• 1:58:34
  [UNKNOWN]: For Tatsbuar heroes to be the second most played game on Steam, that is the biggest factor on why this is even a big deal, because throughout all this drama from Valve, the actual owner's esteem, and then from the player-based specifically, as when it comes to the market place being temporarily suspended time and time again, if you don't know, that is how people are being more acclimated into this game and being more intrigued,
• 1:59:02
  [UNKNOWN]: When it comes to the revenue, task bar hero is a free game.
• 1:59:06
  [UNKNOWN]: But when you look at the actual micro transactions, which has cosmetic slash class bundles, which is $3.17.
• 1:59:16
  [UNKNOWN]: And the steam market fees on player traded loot, which the devs, of course, take a cut indirectly via the economy.
• 1:59:22
  [UNKNOWN]: You come to see where the cash is coming from.
• 1:59:27
  [UNKNOWN]: Now I'm not saying I'm a Hall of Fame pocket watcher.
• 1:59:30
  [UNKNOWN]: All I'm saying is I may have looked up the average earnings from these players.
• 1:59:37
  [UNKNOWN]: And so the player is reportedly earn a few dollars to $50 a month selling materials slash gear while idling.
• 1:59:48
  [UNKNOWN]: But of course, steam takes 15% and of course the developers take their percentage.
• 1:59:56
  [UNKNOWN]: There is no major paid DLC required for progress.
• 1:59:59
  [UNKNOWN]: So it's not like a Gacha game where you have to give us money to continue to game.
• 2:00:02
  [UNKNOWN]: There's nothing like that.
• 2:00:04
  [UNKNOWN]: But when it comes to development, I don't.
• 2:00:06
  [UNKNOWN]: When it comes to DLC aspects of the game, there are certain classes which you have to pay for.
• 2:00:12
  [UNKNOWN]: I think I had this somewhere.
• 2:00:13
  [UNKNOWN]: So basically, you have, I don't know if it's on here.
• 2:00:19
  [UNKNOWN]: Okay, here we go.
• 2:00:20
  [UNKNOWN]: So you have optional pay, DLC, which includes the Hunter
• 2:00:25
  [UNKNOWN]: to slayer class which is $4.99 and then you have stash, expansions, support or packs, but do know that the price class is available as free DLC.
• 2:00:37
  [UNKNOWN]: So at least you got some free DLC for free.
• 2:00:43
  [UNKNOWN]: So there's so much to get into with this particular game that I wanted to start off with the drama because that's one of the biggest factors in the rise of this game because not only does a game that notoriously affect the masses, not only are they affecting the player base, but of course there's some type of drama that's going to pop out of the woodworks if your game is big enough.
• 2:01:01
  [UNKNOWN]: How many hell just wait?
• 2:01:03
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, y'all just wait to see what type of drama GTA 6 is going to find itself in I kid you not just look at the state of gaming like what is going on the state of gaming is going to be in disarray when GTA 6 drops in the lawsuits are going to be running rampant as
• 2:01:19
  [UNKNOWN]: Any notorious mass-effect in game always has drama and lawsuits followed following it I mean just as epic with their battle with Apple just ask power world with their battle with Nintendo any games That's just newly Popular and has a certain revenue model that is blowing all the others out the water somebody is gonna look at that and things themselves Hmm, I wonder how we could throw them for a loop right let's throw
• 2:01:49
  [UNKNOWN]: Uh, a wrench in the operation because people are just haters so anyways can't back in the task bar hero I didn't begin to the whole gameplay loop why well for one.
• 2:02:00
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm playing the gameplay right now Once again, and it led a dreams video on Spotify But of course from my audio only listeners I did want to get into what the actual gameplay entails so
• 2:02:09
  [UNKNOWN]: task bar hero is a free to play once again free free to play idle RPG that runs as a compact always on window and or near the windows task bar acting as a desktop companion while the work or browse.
• 2:02:24
  [UNKNOWN]: Now this particular game
• 2:02:26
  [UNKNOWN]: was released May 27th.
• 2:02:28
  [UNKNOWN]: Of course, I already said the developers and publishers with the publisher being new gym studio and of course in collaboration with Tesseract Studios, the code developers.
• 2:02:37
  [UNKNOWN]: Now when it comes to platforms, if you couldn't tell, this game is only on Steam.
• 2:02:42
  [UNKNOWN]: If you wanted to play it on console, if you wanted to play it on a Nintendo Switch, I mean, that just inherently defeats the purpose.
• 2:02:49
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm saying.
• 2:02:51
  [UNKNOWN]: So it's not coming to those platforms anytime soon.
• 2:02:53
  [UNKNOWN]: Now, when it does come to the Steam Deck, that is a very interesting, um,
• 2:02:58
  [UNKNOWN]: scenario because technically it is marked as playable though a lot of compatibility issues have been reported.
• 2:03:07
  [UNKNOWN]: So if you hop on here, steam deck and try to play this particular game, don't say I didn't warn you.
• 2:03:13
  [UNKNOWN]: All type of proton compatibility issues have been reported.
• 2:03:16
  [UNKNOWN]: So that being said, let's continue from that.
• 2:03:19
  [UNKNOWN]: So it's only on Windows.
• 2:03:20
  [UNKNOWN]: Now,
• 2:03:21
  [UNKNOWN]: This will be in the second best selling game on steam while it's being free.
• 2:03:26
  [UNKNOWN]: It's why I talked about the micro transactions first, but now I want to get into the gameplay loop.
• 2:03:31
  [UNKNOWN]: as you have a hero that automatically battles monsters while the game runs in the background.
• 2:03:38
  [UNKNOWN]: You can manage a party of up to 3 heroes, explore 3 acts with multiple difficulty levels.
• 2:03:43
  [UNKNOWN]: You progress through hero level, a hero leveling, equipment upgrades, skills, run upgrades, achievements, and it does support offline progression for up to 8 hours earning gold and experiences while the way.
• 2:04:00
  [UNKNOWN]: I will get to the nitty gritty of this particular game.
• 2:04:02
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm not trying to spoil everything, but all I do want to say is this over 500 unique items.
• 2:04:08
  [UNKNOWN]: So when it comes to the marketplace, I think I think is getting into the land of crypto now, hold up now hear me out.
• 2:04:17
  [UNKNOWN]: Now usually.
• 2:04:19
  [UNKNOWN]: The value in crypto is what you place upon it, right, as far as the collective.
• 2:04:23
  [UNKNOWN]: That is the same thing when it comes to this theme market for task bar heroes, because these cosmetics, these class bundles, that's three to $17.
• 2:04:30
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, with players trading amongst other players, reportedly once again, players are earning a few dollars to $50 a month selling materials slash gear while idling.
• 2:04:42
  [UNKNOWN]: Now, know about y'all.
• 2:04:44
  [UNKNOWN]: But there's a plethora of games out there.
• 2:04:46
  [UNKNOWN]: That's a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a
• 2:05:04
  [UNKNOWN]: It does have that roadblocks GT-A roadplay type aspect going with it going for it.
• 2:05:09
  [UNKNOWN]: As I think if the value keeps going up, if more people start to be enamored by this game, it can create its own ecosystem, its own crypto, like currency, similar to how counterstrike 2 is and similar to how GTA is with the roadplay servers and of course how roadblocks it is with their servers.
• 2:05:30
  [UNKNOWN]: The reason why I say that is because there's a lot of classes in this particular game.
• 2:05:34
  [UNKNOWN]: Now, as you can see by the gameplay loop, it's nothing spectacular, you know, the graphics aren't going to blow you out of the water, but hey, that's why it's called task bar heroes.
• 2:05:43
  [UNKNOWN]: As you can play with classes such as a night, a priest, which you get for free via the DLC.
• 2:05:51
  [UNKNOWN]: Ranger slash archer, a sorcerer, hunter, slayer, and popular team combinations are archer and priest, but of course, for balance you can have three hero parties, and there's other content as far as 50 plus monster types, pets, and 50 plus achievements.
• 2:06:13
  [UNKNOWN]: Once again, the base game is for there's a Hunter class for DOC, that's 499, that's layer class, that's 499, and pretty East class is available for DOC, but then you have stash, expansions, and support of packs that you also pay for.
• 2:06:31
  [UNKNOWN]: Not only is this one of the biggest games on Steam, but I had a dive deep into this to see how this game is maneuvering as far as for the foreseeable future having the actual longevity type of stay on Steam, because I'm not trying to be pessimistic, but holding that number two slide as far as the number two most play game on Steam is going to be very difficult to do.
• 2:06:52
  [UNKNOWN]: So,
• 2:06:53
  [UNKNOWN]: I think showcasing it, highlighting the problems at the very beginning, like I did, is one of the things that developers and publishers should focus on as the impact on PCs is another thing I wanted to highlight, as even though this is a task bar hero type of game, it's definitely going to increase your CPU and GPU usage, fan noise, and if your PC isn't optimized, I think
• 2:07:19
  [UNKNOWN]: it will annoy people who have multitasking type of days with their PC.
• 2:07:26
  [UNKNOWN]: You're not gonna be able to play this game on a potato.
• 2:07:29
  [UNKNOWN]: And also edit photos or videos.
• 2:07:31
  [UNKNOWN]: When I've added photos or videos, maybe watch a video kind of another browser, maybe do some else or another browser like I think
• 2:07:39
  [UNKNOWN]: When it comes to heavy multitaskers, your PC is really going to have to be up to date.
• 2:07:45
  [UNKNOWN]: If you want to enjoy task bar heroes and also enjoy other things that you do on your PC.
• 2:07:52
  [UNKNOWN]: Because I don't care where nobody says the reason why we call a PlayStation Xbox and Nintendo consoles is because you cannot multitask like you can on PC.
• 2:08:00
  [UNKNOWN]: You can't just boot up YouTube or
• 2:08:02
  [UNKNOWN]: boot up photo editing or video editing on your PlayStation or Xbox like you can on PC is just so many different PC is actually a tool that you could use regardless of gaming.
• 2:08:15
  [UNKNOWN]: The same can't be said for a PlayStation for Xbox for Nintendo Switch, which is why those are called consoles because it's primarily for gaming.
• 2:08:23
  [UNKNOWN]: Now, but that being said,
• 2:08:26
  [UNKNOWN]: that is why that is going to be the major issue going forward for task bar hero trying to optimize the CPU slash GPU usage similar to the same type of obstacle that wall paper engine had to had to face because
• 2:08:45
  [UNKNOWN]: I was trying to bring this up so I could show you all so basically I have a wallpaper obviously and it's not on this monitor Of course, let me show my other monitor.
• 2:08:52
  [UNKNOWN]: So that's monitor right here.
• 2:08:53
  [UNKNOWN]: So I use wallpaper engine all the time Right here this this is obviously a moving graphic This doesn't bother me at all.
• 2:09:00
  [UNKNOWN]: I stream out at a videos photos.
• 2:09:03
  [UNKNOWN]: These are that nature nothing never goes away now.
• 2:09:05
  [UNKNOWN]: You know knock on wood
• 2:09:07
  [UNKNOWN]: We didn't know my desk is made of wood, you know what I'm saying?
• 2:09:09
  [UNKNOWN]: I am awful, I ain't trying to stir.
• 2:09:11
  [UNKNOWN]: Anyways, so when it comes to wallpaper engine, it's very easy on my PC.
• 2:09:16
  [UNKNOWN]: Of course, I do have what I have right now.
• 2:09:19
  [UNKNOWN]: I have a 50, 60 Ti, whatever that is.
• 2:09:21
  [UNKNOWN]: I just know it's up to date.
• 2:09:23
  [UNKNOWN]: So that being said, my PC, I think is on the higher end as far as bills, right?
• 2:09:32
  [UNKNOWN]: Now the reason I'm saying that is because if you want to have multitasking type of aspirations with your PC and you have a potato, it's not going to work out well for you.
• 2:09:41
  [UNKNOWN]: So I will look up the actual compatibility specs for this particular game and then I will go from there.
• 2:09:49
  [UNKNOWN]: Don't just automatically think your PC will be able to run this game while doing all the
• 2:09:56
  [UNKNOWN]: without looking at the compatibility.
• 2:09:57
  [UNKNOWN]: So, but you should do that for any esteemed game, but I'm just definitely letting you know for this game because that's been brought up a lot.
• 2:10:03
  [UNKNOWN]: As far as the optimization issues and the controversies surrounding this particular game, because I think...
• 2:10:10
  [UNKNOWN]: One of the major things is whenever you're playing this game, and let's say you're running certain features on your PC, right?
• 2:10:17
  [UNKNOWN]: And now you get falsely flag for cheating.
• 2:10:20
  [UNKNOWN]: So when it comes to that, a lot of accounts reportedly has been banned on Steam.
• 2:10:25
  [UNKNOWN]: Don't ask me what they were doing.
• 2:10:27
  [UNKNOWN]: I just saw multiple, because remember, this is a review roundup of the masses.
• 2:10:31
  [UNKNOWN]: So this is the masses experience.
• 2:10:32
  [UNKNOWN]: So
• 2:10:33
  [UNKNOWN]: somebody out there with multiple people out there have reported that they've been banned falsely due to anti-cheating measures.
• 2:10:39
  [UNKNOWN]: So because this is a task bar type of game, no telling what they was doing on, you know, their PC to where they popped up falsely.
• 2:10:48
  [UNKNOWN]: But it happened to many times for me not to even say in this segment.
• 2:10:52
  [UNKNOWN]: So hopefully you don't think I'm ragging on the game.
• 2:10:55
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm just giving you all the objective facts and then letting you do it as you will.
• 2:10:59
  [UNKNOWN]: Cause
• 2:11:00
  [UNKNOWN]: When it came to this game, I didn't want to dive deep into it because it seems like this game is not going anywhere.
• 2:11:05
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, it came out when this game come out.
• 2:11:08
  [UNKNOWN]: This game came out, this game came out, uh, June, uh, May 27th of this year.
• 2:11:19
  [UNKNOWN]: And it hasn't dropped below 400,000 once.
• 2:11:22
  [UNKNOWN]: The all-time peak was 12 hours ago, legends and gentlemen, we're dealing with
• 2:11:26
  [UNKNOWN]: probably wanted a more impressive games in the year of 2026.
• 2:11:30
  [UNKNOWN]: Now obviously, when GTA 6 comes out, it's gonna blow everything out of the water as far as engagement and revenue.
• 2:11:38
  [UNKNOWN]: But as of right now, what task bar heroes is currently doing, this is one of the most impressive games out the gate that we've seen in the year of 2026.
• 2:11:51
  [UNKNOWN]: And once again, the reason why I got into the controversial first as well is because of this score right there.
• 2:11:56
  [UNKNOWN]: I can, uh, my fault.
• 2:11:57
  [UNKNOWN]: I cut some of my hand.
• 2:11:58
  [UNKNOWN]: But over here, when you see the scores, 56.18% as far as the rating that the masses give on steam, which is why I started off with the technological issues and optimization issues, because of course, um, that's a big deal.
• 2:12:12
  [UNKNOWN]: And you, you see a resume, you see a reflected on the steam reviews.
• 2:12:17
  [UNKNOWN]: So,
• 2:12:19
  [UNKNOWN]: We're definitely getting to more reviews.
• 2:12:20
  [UNKNOWN]: I think that was basically it, cause I was trying to look for other things.
• 2:12:22
  [UNKNOWN]: So, we're not thinking I have the things for our own.
• 2:12:26
  [UNKNOWN]: Oh, for my task, we're a hero connoisseurs out there.
• 2:12:30
  [UNKNOWN]: Do no.
• 2:12:31
  [UNKNOWN]: I wanted to explain the trading market because some people would be unaware.
• 2:12:34
  [UNKNOWN]: So when it comes to task bar hero and the ultimate revenue structure that they have set up right now, apparently, task bar hero works with works via steam community from market integration for real money.
• 2:12:49
  [UNKNOWN]: So if you wanted to earn real money, then let's hope.
• 2:12:52
  [UNKNOWN]: And of course, this is not ad.
• 2:12:54
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm just making sure you're all informed.
• 2:12:56
  [UNKNOWN]: So that being said, how this works is you want lock.
• 2:13:01
  [UNKNOWN]: the cube level, which is number 10, the hard gate.
• 2:13:04
  [UNKNOWN]: You trade your ship, click the ship, icon top left in the game, drag eligible loot from your inventory to the ship.
• 2:13:13
  [UNKNOWN]: This moves it to your steam inventory.
• 2:13:16
  [UNKNOWN]: Number three, you list it on the market, you go to steam community markets, select item, set price, and guess what?
• 2:13:23
  [UNKNOWN]: The rest is sister.
• 2:13:26
  [UNKNOWN]: Of course, steam takes a 15% fee, which varies by value slash region.
• 2:13:32
  [UNKNOWN]: And of course, when it comes to you selling these items, make sure to check recent sales and history for prices.
• 2:13:39
  [UNKNOWN]: And let's slightly below the lowest for the quickest sales.
• 2:13:43
  [UNKNOWN]: Now, don't say I never did something for you.
• 2:13:44
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm saying, I'm saying I do all that.
• 2:13:47
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, you got to do all that.
• 2:13:50
  [UNKNOWN]: but you can't rate this five stars.
• 2:13:51
  [UNKNOWN]: Okay, so anyways, who'd that be saying?
• 2:13:54
  [UNKNOWN]: I think that is one of the biggest drivers as far as this particular game because a lot of people are really intrigued by this whole
• 2:14:03
  [UNKNOWN]: ecosystem that task bar heroes has built out the gate.
• 2:14:06
  [UNKNOWN]: Now as far as future and development of this particular game, I don't think there's any other one.
• 2:14:12
  [UNKNOWN]: We've already went over the marketplace issues.
• 2:14:14
  [UNKNOWN]: We've went over everything else as far as the sales and things at nature.
• 2:14:18
  [UNKNOWN]: The actual revenue numbers for this particular game is not available because it's free.
• 2:14:22
  [UNKNOWN]: And with the marketplace, there's no telling how much the players
• 2:14:28
  [UNKNOWN]: I didn't have actual numbers as far as the cosmetics, class bundles, being $3 to $17.
• 2:14:33
  [UNKNOWN]: And the players on this game earning from $3 to $50 a month.
• 2:14:38
  [UNKNOWN]: So that's all the revenue I have available to me.
• 2:14:40
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, with that being said, let's get into the review round-up.
• 2:14:44
  [UNKNOWN]: So of course, the all reviews from Steam, because it's only available on Steam once again.
• 2:14:49
  [UNKNOWN]: And with that being said, starting with the first one, ladies and gentlemen, it's not going to be a lot of good positive reviews.
• 2:14:59
  [UNKNOWN]: see that's the problem and hopefully you don't think I'm just making this up because as you can see right here ladies and gentlemen that is a 46.18 rating you know saying um people thoroughly wanted to express themselves when it came to this game over 28,000 reviews and 45 point well actually if you highlight it it's even lower 45.99% of the 28,000 and 40 reviews
• 2:15:29
  [UNKNOWN]: are positive.
• 2:15:30
  [UNKNOWN]: Oh, I don't think that's the greatest ratio.
• 2:15:31
  [UNKNOWN]: But then you know what I'm saying?
• 2:15:32
  [UNKNOWN]: I was like, do you want to look at this?
• 2:15:33
  [UNKNOWN]: Anyways, so that means that these are the reviews from Steam.
• 2:15:38
  [UNKNOWN]: So one of the high helpful voted reviews, it's from this user, that says not recommended.
• 2:15:45
  [UNKNOWN]: I guess it's like a thing you could click, guys, you could tell I never rate anything on Steam.
• 2:15:48
  [UNKNOWN]: I guess I should, but hey, I guess this with the story is Master Fig gets for him, I'm saying.
• 2:15:53
  [UNKNOWN]: So anyways,
• 2:15:54
  [UNKNOWN]: This user says, quote, questionable data collection and analytics for a rather simple game like this.
• 2:16:01
  [UNKNOWN]: I am also talking about the in-game logs crash reports generated in the automatically created logs through gameplay.
• 2:16:09
  [UNKNOWN]: It's fine to add this as an optional toggle, but I do not agree to it to be forced.
• 2:16:16
  [UNKNOWN]: And Claw 67 combined with 68 with within the terms of service is misleading.
• 2:16:22
  [UNKNOWN]: Oh, hold on now, somebody did it right here.
• 2:16:24
  [UNKNOWN]: Somebody did the research.
• 2:16:25
  [UNKNOWN]: That may be a lawyer right there.
• 2:16:26
  [UNKNOWN]: No, I'm just saying, you know, TASBART.
• 2:16:29
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, not TASBART heroes.
• 2:16:30
  [UNKNOWN]: Who's a developer again?
• 2:16:31
  [UNKNOWN]: Hey, new gym studio, TASBART studio.
• 2:16:35
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, man, the lawyer.
• 2:16:36
  [UNKNOWN]: I ain't gonna lie to you.
• 2:16:37
  [UNKNOWN]: You got to tell him.
• 2:16:38
  [UNKNOWN]: See that's the problem.
• 2:16:39
  [UNKNOWN]: This man said Claw 67 combined with 68 within the terms of service is misleading.
• 2:16:46
  [UNKNOWN]: and not transparent enough, mm-hmm.
• 2:16:48
  [UNKNOWN]: You guys, see that's the problem.
• 2:16:51
  [UNKNOWN]: Okay, somebody else who had, let's go to one who had a bunch of hours on the game.
• 2:16:55
  [UNKNOWN]: So, oh, somebody had 400 plus.
• 2:16:57
  [UNKNOWN]: Good, these gracious, you know he's just saying, I mean, you know he's having fun on the game.
• 2:17:01
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, he said, or he said quote, version one point.
• 2:17:08
  [UNKNOWN]: 0.14 update the issue with the chest has been resolved however the market remains closed the game is also still balanced poorly Basically Don't try to get this don't try to get into this game with the hopes of making any amount of money from the market You know he got burned.
• 2:17:26
  [UNKNOWN]: You know he got burned As a pure idol or gamer he like you know out there out there gate.
• 2:17:32
  [UNKNOWN]: This is what he let it do This is passion.
• 2:17:33
  [UNKNOWN]: This is just what he ought to check it.
• 2:17:35
  [UNKNOWN]: All right
• 2:17:37
  [UNKNOWN]: As a pure idol gamer, it's all right, but the in-game is flat.
• 2:17:41
  [UNKNOWN]: Our original, um, okay, do we go.
• 2:17:44
  [UNKNOWN]: And then also we keep going in his quote, it says, this is a game that is a victim of his own success.
• 2:17:53
  [UNKNOWN]: Okay, these reviews come in kind of hard.
• 2:17:55
  [UNKNOWN]: The devs never accounted for the sheer volume of people and the result is a green that has steadily degenerated.
• 2:18:06
  [UNKNOWN]: That boy was upset.
• 2:18:07
  [UNKNOWN]: I could turn out.
• 2:18:08
  [UNKNOWN]: All right.
• 2:18:08
  [UNKNOWN]: So let's go.
• 2:18:10
  [UNKNOWN]: All of these are just not bad.
• 2:18:11
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, all of these are bad.
• 2:18:12
  [UNKNOWN]: Wait.
• 2:18:13
  [UNKNOWN]: No, we found one.
• 2:18:14
  [UNKNOWN]: All right.
• 2:18:15
  [UNKNOWN]: So I found one that hits.
• 2:18:15
  [UNKNOWN]: That says recommended.
• 2:18:17
  [UNKNOWN]: 294 hours on a game.
• 2:18:18
  [UNKNOWN]: So I love that house team has that feature because it lets you know that person actually played it.
• 2:18:22
  [UNKNOWN]: So once again, you know, over here in the Tories Mass Effect.
• 2:18:25
  [UNKNOWN]: Getting into the gaming and music I piece and notoriously affect the masses.
• 2:18:28
  [UNKNOWN]: This is more of a review round-up.
• 2:18:30
  [UNKNOWN]: So you're hearing what the masses have to say about this particular game.
• 2:18:33
  [UNKNOWN]: So anyways.
• 2:18:34
  [UNKNOWN]: We did find a positive review.
• 2:18:36
  [UNKNOWN]: 294.5 hours on the game and this person says quote, updated 16th on June 2026 game version 1.00.13 after dedicated server update.
• 2:18:50
  [UNKNOWN]: gave it a rating at eight out of 10.
• 2:18:52
  [UNKNOWN]: So after the version 1.001, 1.13 update, the game appears to be back to roughly a five minute cooldown.
• 2:19:00
  [UNKNOWN]: Don't know what that means.
• 2:19:01
  [UNKNOWN]: Core Idol farming came a gameplay field smooth and enjoyable again.
• 2:19:06
  [UNKNOWN]: What I like, plus, okay, what I like, free to play, plus idle game, plus items can be sold on the Steam market, plus great art style.
• 2:19:16
  [UNKNOWN]: What could be improved?
• 2:19:18
  [UNKNOWN]: More appor, balance, starting from hell, act 3 difficulty.
• 2:19:23
  [UNKNOWN]: No meaning for in-game content, overall the game is in a much better state.
• 2:19:31
  [UNKNOWN]: That being said, I did want to get into one more review as we already heard two negative ones.
• 2:19:37
  [UNKNOWN]: I got into one positive and there's no more positives ladies and gentlemen, so feeling like that.
• 2:19:43
  [UNKNOWN]: Let me see.
• 2:19:44
  [UNKNOWN]: Let's get into the most helpful review.
• 2:19:46
  [UNKNOWN]: So this one had a thousand helpful votes.
• 2:19:48
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't know that means so basically thumbs up.
• 2:19:51
  [UNKNOWN]: So.
• 2:19:52
  [UNKNOWN]: This review had 93.3 hours on a game, saying quote, game was fine and a fun idler, but developers are actively growing in it, saying they're growing in it.
• 2:20:04
  [UNKNOWN]: Anyways, instead of fighting Chinese, bot forums, goodness, and marketplace sheeters, they punished their most engaged players and paying customers by silently nerfing the drop race.
• 2:20:19
  [UNKNOWN]: There's a bunch of hearts, and it's his up progression, I don't know what that means.
• 2:20:24
  [UNKNOWN]: You had a hidden gym here, but somehow managed to snatch the feet from the jaws of victory.
• 2:20:31
  [UNKNOWN]: Good, and this gracious.
• 2:20:34
  [UNKNOWN]: and edit.
• 2:20:35
  [UNKNOWN]: Now there's also a huge wave of false bands.
• 2:20:38
  [UNKNOWN]: That's what I was talking about earlier.
• 2:20:40
  [UNKNOWN]: As far as people began band for supposedly cheating, but no tell, I'm not trying to advocate for them.
• 2:20:46
  [UNKNOWN]: But of course, task bar hero, you're probably going to be doing other things on your PC.
• 2:20:50
  [UNKNOWN]: Maybe that ended up having them false flags.
• 2:20:53
  [UNKNOWN]: So,
• 2:20:54
  [UNKNOWN]: Well, that'd be it said, um, ladies and gentlemen, there's a reason why I started off with controversy and the masses given their different reviews from people who play 400 plus hours instead of game, um, there's a reason why we're ending with controversy as all that said to decide this game is still the second most play game on steam.
• 2:21:13
  [UNKNOWN]: So either this game is going to completely collapse or
• 2:21:19
  [UNKNOWN]: new gym studio, and test a rack studio, I'll go in to get it together, so that their player base doesn't turn on them.
• 2:21:27
  [UNKNOWN]: Because as you can see, the people I enjoy in the game, they're saying you have something good on your hands.
• 2:21:32
  [UNKNOWN]: You have something fantastic, I hit on your hands.
• 2:21:35
  [UNKNOWN]: And you're completely ruined in it.
• 2:21:37
  [UNKNOWN]: So hopefully, they found some way to unrund it.
• 2:21:40
  [UNKNOWN]: That's not a word.
• 2:21:42
  [UNKNOWN]: But you get the point.
• 2:21:42
  [UNKNOWN]: Basically, they need to find to reverse the course of public perception and find a way to get in the good gracious of the community.
• 2:21:50
  [UNKNOWN]: Because as of right now, you can't say the support is not there.
• 2:21:53
  [UNKNOWN]: I know it is a free game, but still, being the second most played game on Steam is no easy accomplishment.
• 2:21:59
  [UNKNOWN]: All of these games...
• 2:22:01
  [UNKNOWN]: on this list will love to be the second most play game on Steam.
• 2:22:05
  [UNKNOWN]: And right now, as of right now, it's task bar hero.
• 2:22:09
  [UNKNOWN]: Shepard, just look at the scale of gaming.
• 2:22:13
  [UNKNOWN]: So that being said, click my link to stream my bio, follow me on one of my social medias, and of course, if you're on Spotify, and if you've played task bar hero, let me know what should the developers do.
• 2:22:26
  [UNKNOWN]: to reverse course of action as far as this game and the ultimate micro-transactions being considered.
• 2:22:42
  [UNKNOWN]: This is when we sports, you know what I'm saying?
• 2:22:45
  [UNKNOWN]: All right, well, basically the main thing you need to know is even though this is not an Nintendo exclusive because it also is on a PS4 so for all your retro gamers out there You may got yourself one as when it comes to the power for pro baseball, power, pureo, jaccaio, powerful pro, y'all key you, that's the other pronunciation.
• 2:23:06
  [UNKNOWN]: bico name of course it's it wouldn't be right if over here in the torrents mass If they get into the gaming and music, I piece that in the torrents the effect of masses if we did not get into Powerful Pro Baseball 2026 through 2027 because ladies and gentlemen
• 2:23:21
  [UNKNOWN]: Not only did this game come out June 11, 2026 for PS4 and Nintendo Switch, but of course, it celebrates Konami's 30-plus year baseball franchise and if you didn't know over here, we do have a Hall of Fame pocket watching career.
• 2:23:36
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, we just respectfully report to numbers.
• 2:23:39
  [UNKNOWN]: But basically, the series as a whole sold over 24.7 million copies.
• 2:23:46
  [UNKNOWN]: And that's not it, ladies and gentlemen,
• 2:23:50
  [UNKNOWN]: No, no, no, plus 48 plus million mobile downloads insane.
• 2:23:57
  [UNKNOWN]: And then of course, this is an annual entry.
• 2:24:01
  [UNKNOWN]: So when it comes to consistently topping the Japanese Shars' disgame is, of course,
• 2:24:08
  [UNKNOWN]: in the realm of America.
• 2:24:10
  [UNKNOWN]: A lot of people may not be aware of the notorious mass effect that this specific game has.
• 2:24:16
  [UNKNOWN]: But of course, that's what this platform is for.
• 2:24:18
  [UNKNOWN]: You know what I'm saying?
• 2:24:19
  [UNKNOWN]: Alright, my fault.
• 2:24:19
  [UNKNOWN]: Come on, Juicy.
• 2:24:20
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, you ain't got to do all day every time, bro.
• 2:24:24
  [UNKNOWN]: Anyway, so after Drewski, you know, which you should give pressure, you know, make sure to, you know, rate this five stars.
• 2:24:29
  [UNKNOWN]: But anyways, getting back into it.
• 2:24:30
  [UNKNOWN]: So the main thing I want to get at is what this specific game, the biggest difference between the this powerful pro baseball game and the other ones is that
• 2:24:39
  [UNKNOWN]: They have parallel all-stars scenarios, which basically means multiverse.
• 2:24:45
  [UNKNOWN]: No, not the MCU.
• 2:24:47
  [UNKNOWN]: Make sure to pay attention.
• 2:24:49
  [UNKNOWN]: So, multiverse story crossing 30 years of success history and recruit past characters in original designs for nostalgia plus new team building.
• 2:25:00
  [UNKNOWN]: It's always great.
• 2:25:01
  [UNKNOWN]: When you have a solid foundation, you build upon it and not only do you build upon it, but you're able to go back to what the original layer of that foundation was in represented in a way that basically showcases how long you've been dominating the game and how much attention to detail you have when it comes to your craft, which is always commendable especially in the gaming industry.
• 2:25:26
  [UNKNOWN]: Another thing that says this game of part is the WBC theme success as far as special stories with Otani slash samurai Japan global competition.
• 2:25:36
  [UNKNOWN]: They of course, when it comes to the update in 2026 stats, which has Otani's fastball to 164, I actually don't know what that is.
• 2:25:46
  [UNKNOWN]: I think go back to school.
• 2:25:47
  [UNKNOWN]: One more.
• 2:25:49
  [UNKNOWN]: What is that?
• 2:25:49
  [UNKNOWN]: We've got to look at it right now.
• 2:25:50
  [UNKNOWN]: Okay.
• 2:26:00
  [UNKNOWN]: All right, ladies and gentlemen, I thought it was that I didn't want to sound ignorant or in other words, right?
• 2:26:05
  [UNKNOWN]: And so apparently, they had the updated stats for Autonies with his fastball having 164 kilometers per hour, which, you know, I'm no baseball, it's a fun, but I think that's pretty fast, pretty fast, ladies and gentlemen.
• 2:26:20
  [UNKNOWN]: And of course, as far as the quality of life improvements for this specific game, you have revamp, menus, shortened gauntlet from hundreds of 50 buddy training system, remastered classics scenarios.
• 2:26:31
  [UNKNOWN]: And of course, for this specific game, the focusing on the entire history of powerful pro baseball, while also keeping court modes as far as econ, nine, and power fence, I think that's how you say that.
• 2:26:43
  [UNKNOWN]: So when it comes to the stats, led to the gentleman, it is through the roof.
• 2:26:50
  [UNKNOWN]: on swatified to see the video along with the audio because as you can see right here it is doing phenomenal on an intendo platform and it's not, it's not only on an intendo.
• 2:27:00
  [UNKNOWN]: is also on ps4 but which of course you could probably get as well on ps5 but as far as Nintendo specifically as you can see right here has a whopping 146,000 as far as total copies and of course with this week it comes at number 3 with 16,950 total copies as far as the week so when you look at it in totality it just came out during the 11th it's already
• 2:27:24
  [UNKNOWN]: six figures as far as this specific iteration of the powerful pro and installment.
• 2:27:30
  [UNKNOWN]: I think when it comes to them honoring the history and a way that showcases the difference and the uniqueness of this specific game compared to the previous powerful pro games.
• 2:27:43
  [UNKNOWN]: I think that's the biggest thing you should take away from this but of course if you want to know more about what this game is about
• 2:27:48
  [UNKNOWN]: No, and once again, it's not we sports, ladies and gentlemen.
• 2:27:52
  [UNKNOWN]: So get the idea mine, right?
• 2:27:53
  [UNKNOWN]: This game highlights baseball's growth outside the traditional markets.
• 2:27:57
  [UNKNOWN]: So basically, you have to Netherlands as far as the Dutch national team remaining one of the one of Europe's strongest, because many players originate from Caribbean territory, such as Aruba and is it Croatia, what in the world?
• 2:28:18
  [UNKNOWN]: uh... carousel definitely was going to but she did it horrendously so a rubok carousel and then um... when it has when it comes to these regions a lot of them have produced numerous MLB players so that is why this game specifically focus on these outside
• 2:28:37
  [UNKNOWN]: the traditional norm as far as the markings for baseball.
• 2:28:40
  [UNKNOWN]: As you also have Italy, as far as Italy's baseball strength coming largely from Italian American MLB players eligible through family heritage rules.
• 2:28:49
  [UNKNOWN]: And then of course the 2023 Italian WBC team was managed by Mike Piazza, Piazza.
• 2:28:57
  [UNKNOWN]: Famous for a playing alongside Hario Nomo with the Dodgers.
• 2:29:02
  [UNKNOWN]: So,
• 2:29:03
  [UNKNOWN]: when it comes to people who enjoy powerful pro and of course when it comes to the language barrier of the this particular game i believe is definitely present i mean you look at the game of course if you don't speak english like myself you may be a little confused as you can see right now and a little bit of dreams video spotifies to see the video along with the audio because um all the words on the screen lays a gentleman i don't know what they say i'm awful i'm i mean to say not the ignorant but i'm just saying i don't understand where it was happening i can't read none of that
• 2:29:33
  [UNKNOWN]: Basically, the language barrier you can put that to the side because everybody loves this word of baseball, right?
• 2:29:39
  [UNKNOWN]: So honoring this game, as far as them shifting outside the traditional markets is still having a hit game that's sitting on a round baseball.
• 2:29:47
  [UNKNOWN]: I think it's a commendable feat.
• 2:29:51
  [UNKNOWN]: because I don't know if any of the studio would take up this type of mantle as far as trying to have outside market appeal and the sports ecosystem when it comes to gaming.
• 2:30:04
  [UNKNOWN]: And the reason why I say that, I'm not trying to sound harsh, but NBA the run currently, let's just say it's not having a great is engage with, let's put it like this.
• 2:30:15
  [UNKNOWN]: I have in a great is engagement.
• 2:30:16
  [UNKNOWN]: So,
• 2:30:18
  [UNKNOWN]: If you're not MLB, if you're not literally NBA as far as realistic, basketball, not the NBA to run, which is more street oriented.
• 2:30:26
  [UNKNOWN]: Basically, outside the traditional norm of what you're used to seeing the sport in is a tremendous gamble, which is why when it comes to power pro baseball, it's so commendable because they've been achieving this feed time and time again with a market that people die not obsolete, but definitely out of the traditional eyes as far as the market.
• 2:30:44
  [UNKNOWN]: So the reason why I say that.
• 2:30:47
  [UNKNOWN]: It's because this game definitely sets itself apart.
• 2:30:51
  [UNKNOWN]: It's so strongly 100,000 copies in his first week.
• 2:30:55
  [UNKNOWN]: So out the gate, people were waiting for this, and they copped it expeditiously.
• 2:30:59
  [UNKNOWN]: And of course, when it comes to patches, they've been patching the game as far as the June 30th patch, fixing the notorious Ecanine scouting bug and implemented 10 fixes for that mode.
• 2:31:09
  [UNKNOWN]: And then of course, when it comes to players, reporting new bugs introduced by the update, I mean, that's where every single video game.
• 2:31:16
  [UNKNOWN]: But this game definitely marks a major step as far as towards internationalizing the power pro franchise similar to how global soccer games evolve.
• 2:31:25
  [UNKNOWN]: So these are needed to showcase just how expansive the gaming industry is, which is why over here in the Tories, Mass Effect covering the gaming, music, I piece that notoriously affect the masses, power pro for the year of 2026, especially for the month of June, is definitely one of those.
• 2:31:43
  [UNKNOWN]: As now getting into the reviews, ladies and gentlemen, cause we already got to the sales round up.
• 2:31:48
  [UNKNOWN]: Now getting into the review round up, of course, Femi Cas, I think is Danny Bivens gave this a nine at a 10, pretty high rating, but of course he said quote,
• 2:31:59
  [UNKNOWN]: Power Pro's 2026-2027 is another solid entry into the series, and does a great job at giving success, mode, a proper celebration.
• 2:32:07
  [UNKNOWN]: Even outside of the celebratory version of that mode, the game has an enormous amount of content to offer.
• 2:32:14
  [UNKNOWN]: Penetra.
• 2:32:15
  [UNKNOWN]: Pinot, my life, Ecanine, live scenario customization tools I can keep going.
• 2:32:22
  [UNKNOWN]: You easily sing dozens of hours into the game.
• 2:32:25
  [UNKNOWN]: If you're on the market for a baseball game with something a bit different, PowerPro's 2026 to 2027 is worth checking out.
• 2:32:35
  [UNKNOWN]: Famitsu gave power pro 226 through 227 at 34 at a 40.
• 2:32:41
  [UNKNOWN]: Never seen that type of score before But hey, you know who's their score.
• 2:32:43
  [UNKNOWN]: Well, I'm saying it's not mine.
• 2:32:46
  [UNKNOWN]: If you got a problem with it Anyways, so if I mentioned gave power pro 34 at a 40 saying quote, I don't know It's just the aggregate of score.
• 2:32:56
  [UNKNOWN]: Okay.
• 2:32:56
  [UNKNOWN]: Well, that's kind of weird.
• 2:32:57
  [UNKNOWN]: Anyways, let me see.
• 2:32:58
  [UNKNOWN]: I think there was another Let me see
• 2:33:03
  [UNKNOWN]: So we do have some round-ups from YouTubers who play the game because of course when it comes to this particular game a lot of people as far as the normal Conglomerates that you would see review games because of the language barrier that exists They don't even attempt to play this game or even attempt to cover this game, which is why you should rate this file storage You know I'm saying I feel like I'm out here.
• 2:33:23
  [UNKNOWN]: You know, I'm saying just trying to bridge to get
• 2:33:26
  [UNKNOWN]: And I'm saying this whole platform is about bridging the gap, you know, sometimes you need to bridge the gap to get across I'm a father I was being deep anyways, um, last but definitely not least, that's getting to the youtubers uh, collab score as a lot of youtubers as far as the masses who played this game they say it was the best power pro yet.
• 2:33:46
  [UNKNOWN]: an incremental improvement with excellent WBC integration we already talked about that fun success mode and addictive content.
• 2:33:54
  [UNKNOWN]: And one note is quote, I just gave the game a trial last night and it was fantastic.
• 2:34:00
  [UNKNOWN]: Definitely incremental improvement from previous versions instead of an evolution but this is the best power pros yet.
• 2:34:08
  [UNKNOWN]: And of course, last but definitely not least, play Asia, use the ratings is averaging five out of five.
• 2:34:13
  [UNKNOWN]: Well, a lot of the masses basically saying that they love the volume in the series consistency because, of course, this is a yearly annual installment.
• 2:34:24
  [UNKNOWN]: So what that being said, I think not only it's powerful pro baseball 2026 to 2027 showcasing that even though language barriers are obviously existing on planet earth.
• 2:34:37
  [UNKNOWN]: We can still cover it in all language and represent the respect that we have due to his success in longevity because no matter what language What field you're in everybody can respect success and longevity and if you can't that's a personal problem You don't say You know I'm saying just look at the state of gaming like
• 2:34:58
  [UNKNOWN]: What is going on?
• 2:34:59
  [UNKNOWN]: So that being said, click my link to my bio to follow me on my social media's end of course.
• 2:35:03
  [UNKNOWN]: And if you're on Spotify and you've played powerful pro baseball in 2026 to 2027, what is your favorite aspect about the game?
• 2:35:31
  [UNKNOWN]: Oh my god, I mean a lot of all my goodness.
• 2:35:37
  [UNKNOWN]: Safe to say ladies and gentlemen, we are not getting into that particular game.
• 2:35:41
  [UNKNOWN]: We're getting into that actual gameplay loop of Gossip Harbor, which that fake ad.
• 2:35:48
  [UNKNOWN]: Technically wasn't a fake ad.
• 2:35:50
  [UNKNOWN]: It was fake bro.
• 2:35:51
  [UNKNOWN]: I guess you're not bro.
• 2:35:54
  [UNKNOWN]: So essentially, when it comes to gossip harbour, a lot of these fake ads have been percolating through the internet, but guess what, ladies and gentlemen, when it comes to this platform as far as covering the gaming and music, I piece that notoriously affect the masses.
• 2:36:08
  [UNKNOWN]: To say, there's a real game off of that.
• 2:36:11
  [UNKNOWN]: And that is very misconstruiting the actual gameplay loop as we're about to get into and you'll see in a second.
• 2:36:20
  [UNKNOWN]: As you're not just choosing a new life of fightback, does the actual gameplay loop the Gossip Harbor, which is why ladies and gentlemen, as far as over Gossip Harbor's lifetime is sold over 720 million in app purchases.
• 2:36:41
  [UNKNOWN]: So when it comes to in at purchase revenue monthly it generates over 63 million that was well No, that was the peak for November of 2025 and a record for gossip harvest specifically and of course when it comes to the developer and Publisher of this specific game which is micro fun limited based out of China They're a portfolio hit 150 million any pipe they could see you so
• 2:37:09
  [UNKNOWN]: What is the top revenue earner or revenue driver for that specific company?
• 2:37:15
  [UNKNOWN]: Well ladies and gentlemen, you're looking at it.
• 2:37:17
  [UNKNOWN]: Shepherd, just look at the state of gaming.
• 2:37:20
  [UNKNOWN]: Like, what is going on?
• 2:37:21
  [UNKNOWN]: So when it comes to the actual fake ads that's percolating through the internet for gossip harbours, safe to say this is very similar to when I covered another mobile game.
• 2:37:31
  [UNKNOWN]: I think it was called.
• 2:37:33
  [UNKNOWN]: I think it was, I wasn't worried.
• 2:37:35
  [UNKNOWN]: It wasn't really a match.
• 2:37:36
  [UNKNOWN]: It was another specific game.
• 2:37:38
  [UNKNOWN]: I think it was, oh yeah, last war survival.
• 2:37:40
  [UNKNOWN]: So this game reminds me of last war survival.
• 2:37:43
  [UNKNOWN]: How the ads definitely are misconstruiting an actual gameplay loop.
• 2:37:50
  [UNKNOWN]: But when you dive into the facts of this specific mobile game that the game, like the ads are based off of, it's actually very successful.
• 2:37:57
  [UNKNOWN]: Which makes you want to do?
• 2:37:57
  [UNKNOWN]: Why do they do that in the first place?
• 2:38:01
  [UNKNOWN]: all this money and it decide to deceive you, whereas making you think you're about to go through a similar experience with really gossip harbour is one of the more successful mobile games ever, like ever release.
• 2:38:15
  [UNKNOWN]: And when it launched globally July 2022,
• 2:38:18
  [UNKNOWN]: Of course, if you don't know, the gameplay loop is emerged to puzzle gameplay.
• 2:38:22
  [UNKNOWN]: I once again added little dreams video on Spotify to see the video along with the audio.
• 2:38:27
  [UNKNOWN]: There's a soap opera storytelling, restaurant, restoration, and aggressive live service events, which what type of mobile game would it be without gotcha elements?
• 2:38:37
  [UNKNOWN]: You guys, she lost the prize.
• 2:38:40
  [UNKNOWN]: So we'll get to that in a second.
• 2:38:41
  [UNKNOWN]: But as of right now, in the year of 2026, apparently,
• 2:38:46
  [UNKNOWN]: People on the business side call this a shark fin type of increase meaning that is longevity is more impressive than Basically it ain't just blew up out the gate right over time edges accumulated more Customers and gamers on their particular game all year over year right so sort of like notorious
• 2:39:18
  [UNKNOWN]: All right, so anyways, with that being said, God's of Harvard, ladies and gentlemen, is a phenomenal hit.
• 2:39:23
  [UNKNOWN]: How big of a hit is it?
• 2:39:25
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, we basically just got into it.
• 2:39:26
  [UNKNOWN]: It's one of the biggest mobile games out currently.
• 2:39:29
  [UNKNOWN]: And it then started like that.
• 2:39:31
  [UNKNOWN]: When it first came out in 2008, it had a 2008, I'm tripping.
• 2:39:37
  [UNKNOWN]: Oh, when it first came out, let me find the data again.
• 2:39:41
  [UNKNOWN]: July, was it July?
• 2:39:43
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, July 2022, essentially speaking, it had a steady but slow launch, but it in explosive expansion during 2024 or 2026.
• 2:39:56
  [UNKNOWN]: And of course, continuing the timeline, you have May 2025, as far as lifetime revenue exceeding 100 million USD.
• 2:40:08
  [UNKNOWN]: October, 2024, peak, peak this far as the monthly in-app purchases, where the revenue accumulated to about 62 million USD.
• 2:40:20
  [UNKNOWN]: And of course, when the reason why I keep saying USD is because this is the one and I translated it, I converted it into USD.
• 2:40:26
  [UNKNOWN]: So that's why, you know, so anyways, daily revenue peaks of 500,000 USD per day, what in that actual?
• 2:40:38
  [UNKNOWN]: There have a real discussion which I'll move a game machine.
• 2:40:41
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm saying no because you know This what y'all doing what y'all talking you?
• 2:40:47
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, you know, teach his own.
• 2:40:48
  [UNKNOWN]: You know, I'm saying I'm not trying to act all high and mighty as far as in the gaming industry because to be fair, y'all mobile gamers make the world go around as far as the gaming industry.
• 2:40:58
  [UNKNOWN]: So when it comes to the mammoth amount of money that's mobile game is generating, some people would be completely oblivious to just how big gossip harbour is because of the fake ads once again percolating through the internet.
• 2:41:09
  [UNKNOWN]: Which we probably gonna watch that video again.
• 2:41:11
  [UNKNOWN]: It was actually, it wasn't funny, but it was crazy.
• 2:41:15
  [UNKNOWN]: So anyways, before we get back into that, let's, let's finish with the timeline.
• 2:41:20
  [UNKNOWN]: So late 2025, the cumulative in-app purchases revenue was about 700 million, plus USD, and of course, half of this year, 126 overseas revenue reached 2.7 for a billion one, which is approximately
• 2:41:45
  [UNKNOWN]: They are printing, as far as they, I'm specifically talking about microfilm, which is once again the developers and publishers of the specific game.
• 2:41:53
  [UNKNOWN]: They are printing money hand over the fifths.
• 2:41:55
  [UNKNOWN]: And when it comes to regional performances, United States generated nearly 50% of the revenue during peak periods, which brings you back to my ultimate point.
• 2:42:05
  [UNKNOWN]: Y'all mobile gamers out there are not making it easy for
• 2:42:10
  [UNKNOWN]: Executives to not think of how do we make a lot of service game because is this type of revenue that makes every executive thinks in themselves You know what just maybe we can have a lot of service hit on their on our hands and that's how we get concord Shepard on my flow And then that's how we get engaged.
• 2:42:28
  [UNKNOWN]: All right, my fault.
• 2:42:29
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm done.
• 2:42:29
  [UNKNOWN]: So basically When it comes to this specific mobile game
• 2:42:34
  [UNKNOWN]: As far as in South Korea's grossing chart, it went, it reached number 19, and that was May 2026.
• 2:42:40
  [UNKNOWN]: Now, as of July, 2026, it's still one of the more played mobile games ever.
• 2:42:50
  [UNKNOWN]: It's currently rising at a pace that is just undeniable.
• 2:42:54
  [UNKNOWN]: And some could say that the major criticisms as far as the gameplay loop having certain, pay-to-win elements, and why say pay-to-win?
• 2:43:04
  [UNKNOWN]: A basic, a basically saying that it gets difficult to the point where if you're not purchasing certain things,
• 2:43:12
  [UNKNOWN]: then is basically impossible to continue, which is essentially paid a win.
• 2:43:17
  [UNKNOWN]: So it's not like, oh, we're locking this content behind a paywall.
• 2:43:20
  [UNKNOWN]: It's basically, we're going to make it so difficult that if you don't purchase something, then my other game is playing.
• 2:43:25
  [UNKNOWN]: This is why I just reviewed.
• 2:43:27
  [UNKNOWN]: So if you don't purchase the game, then essentially,
• 2:43:32
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, if you don't purchase the actual additive to help you out with that specific level, then you're just not going to progress.
• 2:43:39
  [UNKNOWN]: So technically they don't lock you out, but they make it hard enough to, to where you probably want to purchase something, which is where to pay the win.
• 2:43:46
  [UNKNOWN]: Our accusation is come from.
• 2:43:48
  [UNKNOWN]: Now,
• 2:43:50
  [UNKNOWN]: I think this gameplay loop is pretty simplistic.
• 2:43:52
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, as you can see right here and a little dreams video on Spotify to see the video along with the audio, you essentially playing a merge to puzzle gameplay with soap opera story telling.
• 2:44:02
  [UNKNOWN]: So, at the end of the day, this whole game leads back into a merge to puzzle gameplay loop, which is why
• 2:44:09
  [UNKNOWN]: I compare this game to last war survival because when you look at the actual advertisement for this specific game, it's very last war survival-esque as far as them completely.
• 2:44:20
  [UNKNOWN]: Throwing away the actual identity at a game for a click-baity retention.
• 2:44:27
  [UNKNOWN]: They want you to watch their ad instead of actually telling you what the core gameplay loop is about.
• 2:44:32
  [UNKNOWN]: Once again, you know, I just want to excuse the transition until this video wants more because this is an insane video.
• 2:44:38
  [UNKNOWN]: Ladies and gentlemen, this is insane.
• 2:44:42
  [UNKNOWN]: First of all, what is the main doing there?
• 2:44:45
  [UNKNOWN]: You know what I'm saying?
• 2:44:46
  [UNKNOWN]: Like, this is crazy.
• 2:44:47
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, it's just like the mess I didn't have.
• 2:44:52
  [UNKNOWN]: Module, this is his wife and kids.
• 2:44:55
  [UNKNOWN]: So I said to show you the core gameplay loop which is this ladies and gentlemen, this is the core gameplay loop right here.
• 2:45:01
  [UNKNOWN]: They would rather show you a celacious ad like this just to get you to watch it, not just completely doing the way with the entire gameplay loop, they was like
• 2:45:11
  [UNKNOWN]: Why they need to know the gameplay loop just so show them something Salacious and hope they don't get mad, right?
• 2:45:16
  [UNKNOWN]: Which is a very interesting business model if I do say so myself.
• 2:45:20
  [UNKNOWN]: But obviously, it's worked out so far.
• 2:45:22
  [UNKNOWN]: So that's one of the things that a lot of people are saying that when it comes to the marketing, it's very dramatic.
• 2:45:28
  [UNKNOWN]: It has non-game play scenes.
• 2:45:30
  [UNKNOWN]: This will be the gameplay that they should show in their ads.
• 2:45:33
  [UNKNOWN]: For some reason they don't do it, but hey, that's why you play and a little dreams is here to point it out.
• 2:45:40
  [UNKNOWN]: The main thing I wanted to talk about when it came to Goths of Harbor is that the reason why we dove into Goths of Harbor and the release date for this game being in 2022 is because in the year of 2026 is often top 5 to 10 global as far as grossing revenue.
• 2:45:59
  [UNKNOWN]: So this game is so popular to the point where
• 2:46:04
  [UNKNOWN]: You wouldn't even understand why so many executives try to go with a live service model until you see a game like God Subharber.
• 2:46:12
  [UNKNOWN]: I believe there's industry experts.
• 2:46:16
  [UNKNOWN]: behind the scenes saying that Marvel is putting together some type of mobile game.
• 2:46:21
  [UNKNOWN]: And I'll be interested to see how that plays out because of course, I believe, figure was called future fight.
• 2:46:27
  [UNKNOWN]: I think this was called, that is currently a lot of service and that's doing well.
• 2:46:31
  [UNKNOWN]: But I think this specific game, which I believe we covered future fight before the MC, future fight.
• 2:46:37
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't think we did, I'm seeing Marvel.
• 2:46:39
  [UNKNOWN]: Maybe that wasn't the name of it.
• 2:46:42
  [UNKNOWN]: Marvel, I'm seeing Marvel.
• 2:46:45
  [UNKNOWN]: Okay, yeah, I definitely can't find it.
• 2:46:46
  [UNKNOWN]: So essentially speaking, when it comes to Marvel and the mobile games, they have future fight, I think they have another one as far as a Spider-Man like running Subway Surface type game, Marvel was not hurting when it comes to cash, but these type of games as far as got some harbor, makes it wanna go out the box and make a live service for the sake of revenue.
• 2:47:06
  [UNKNOWN]: And when you look at the gameplay loop of got some harbor, when you look at how much money they're making monthly, once again,
• 2:47:13
  [UNKNOWN]: And late 2025, they generated $700 million plus dollars.
• 2:47:19
  [UNKNOWN]: $700 million plus dollars off of a merge two puzzle gameplay loop.
• 2:47:24
  [UNKNOWN]: I think you can start to understand why executives would be like, you know what, maybe we just need to make a lot of service and everything would be all right.
• 2:47:31
  [UNKNOWN]: So I hope when it comes to that,
• 2:47:34
  [UNKNOWN]: dive into the actual review round-up of this game because it's really not too much to get into.
• 2:47:39
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, there's a the core two match two merge puzzle gameplay loop that's so operative.
• 2:47:45
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, that's there.
• 2:47:47
  [UNKNOWN]: It's really not other options as far as
• 2:47:52
  [UNKNOWN]: gameplay in this specific game.
• 2:47:54
  [UNKNOWN]: The puzzles is basically it.
• 2:47:56
  [UNKNOWN]: And if you don't like the puzzles within non-plating game, you know what I'm saying that's it.
• 2:47:59
  [UNKNOWN]: That's all I got.
• 2:48:01
  [UNKNOWN]: So, um, getting to the review roundup such as game as far as what the masses are enjoying or not enjoying about this game, because the reviews are all over the place.
• 2:48:10
  [UNKNOWN]: But, uh, let's start with, let's see, let's start with,
• 2:48:17
  [UNKNOWN]: Assey, no, Kathy Mullins from Google Play.
• 2:48:20
  [UNKNOWN]: That gave it a five out of five for gameplay but overall lower basically seeing quote, I really enjoy this game.
• 2:48:26
  [UNKNOWN]: And if I were only rating the game play itself, it would be a five, however.
• 2:48:32
  [UNKNOWN]: As you progress in the game, the energy requirements become ridiculous.
• 2:48:37
  [UNKNOWN]: High-level items can easily take 3,000 plus energy to achieve.
• 2:48:43
  [UNKNOWN]: And you can't earn enough energy in a day to complete that one task.
• 2:48:47
  [UNKNOWN]: Mm-hmm.
• 2:48:48
  [UNKNOWN]: You guys see that's the problem.
• 2:48:51
  [UNKNOWN]: The only way to continue to progress is to purchase in-game items.
• 2:48:55
  [UNKNOWN]: The ads call it a free game, but it's really not.
• 2:49:01
  [UNKNOWN]: And then we have another review, which this is from, well, no, that's also from Google Play.
• 2:49:05
  [UNKNOWN]: I do want to switch it up a little bit.
• 2:49:07
  [UNKNOWN]: Okay, so, yes, we'll answer from that app store from Melody Sweet Spirit saying, quote, overall, this game is great.
• 2:49:15
  [UNKNOWN]: And so is the story.
• 2:49:16
  [UNKNOWN]: That being said, I need to say, number one, the pop-ups before getting the play-to-game are nothing but annoying.
• 2:49:23
  [UNKNOWN]: I can't do anything.
• 2:49:24
  [UNKNOWN]: And I need to close out about five tabs in a row.
• 2:49:28
  [UNKNOWN]: with the buffer period in between one.
• 2:49:31
  [UNKNOWN]: No, she upset.
• 2:49:31
  [UNKNOWN]: You got it.
• 2:49:32
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm saying, come on now.
• 2:49:34
  [UNKNOWN]: Number two, the photo albums events is incredibly difficult to complete these albums.
• 2:49:40
  [UNKNOWN]: I never finished a whole book ever.
• 2:49:44
  [UNKNOWN]: Now, of course, when it comes to this particular,
• 2:49:48
  [UNKNOWN]: limited time events.
• 2:49:51
  [UNKNOWN]: I did have some actual research on that as when it comes to the most popular limited time events, which is essentially what makes his game increasingly get popular over time.
• 2:50:00
  [UNKNOWN]: Laurie's Doe Derby, apparently that's the most popular limited time event for this specific game.
• 2:50:06
  [UNKNOWN]: It had
• 2:50:07
  [UNKNOWN]: compared to race tying into main merge slash orders for coin slash points and tacking this to character at story flavor and of course when it came to the overall gameplay loop people love
• 2:50:20
  [UNKNOWN]: the character of Lori, Lori, and then of course when it comes to the gameplay loop, I think it just made them dive once they made them dive back into the game once again, because, oh, fun fact.
• 2:50:30
  [UNKNOWN]: I know you all may be saying, who cares about a character being added to spice up the story?
• 2:50:35
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, if you don't know, ladies and gentlemen, gossip harbor, and as demographic, it's 70 percent, no, no, 79 percent women.
• 2:50:46
  [UNKNOWN]: But then you know, I'm saying, I'm like,
• 2:50:51
  [UNKNOWN]: Outside of the 79% of the players being female, it has older millennials, casual gamers, and narrative focus players.
• 2:50:59
  [UNKNOWN]: So, people are really enjoying gospel parlor off of the drama.
• 2:51:04
  [UNKNOWN]: Now listen to me.
• 2:51:05
  [UNKNOWN]: When it comes to love Island, that same type of appeal that people enjoy as far as a TV movie aspect.
• 2:51:11
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't think love Island says movie, but as far as a TV show aspect, it's the same type of enjoyment that gamers of gospel parlor have.
• 2:51:20
  [UNKNOWN]: the drama literally.
• 2:51:23
  [UNKNOWN]: So, and when it comes to the mystery, the relationships, personal expression, the restoration gameplay, I mean, as you can see right now, the dialogue is insane.
• 2:51:32
  [UNKNOWN]: So, they enjoyed the drama, which is why.
• 2:51:35
  [UNKNOWN]: Approximately 79% of this player base is female.
• 2:51:38
  [UNKNOWN]: So, you know, shout out to all my ladies out there.
• 2:51:40
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm saying, did I scare them off?
• 2:51:43
  [UNKNOWN]: I'll take out scared them.
• 2:51:44
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm off all, let me just keep going.
• 2:51:45
  [UNKNOWN]: All right, so basically,
• 2:51:47
  [UNKNOWN]: When you get back into the review round, does I didn't want to read off one more as when it comes to mobi.gg gave it to 6.2 slash 10 overall saying positive on story, but critical of business model, which you know everybody is saying quote, during my gossip harbor game review, I noticed that the game knows how to tell stories and especially gossip.
• 2:52:14
  [UNKNOWN]: I noticed right.
• 2:52:17
  [UNKNOWN]: So anyways, what that being said, I think when it comes to gossip, Harbor as you could tell throughout my coverage through the end of segment, it's insanely popular.
• 2:52:27
  [UNKNOWN]: It's insanely lucrative.
• 2:52:30
  [UNKNOWN]: Microphone limited definitely has an unlimited amount of potential for this specific game, especially the way it's grown over time.
• 2:52:39
  [UNKNOWN]: It's player-based is consistently coming back through its limited time events.
• 2:52:44
  [UNKNOWN]: The only thing that could probably fix a little bit is making the difficulties not spike as high so people are forced to purchase.
• 2:52:51
  [UNKNOWN]: things in the game, but hey, you know, that would be sin, that would be asking them to have anti-capitalism in, you know, in today's age.
• 2:52:58
  [UNKNOWN]: That's probably not thing.
• 2:52:59
  [UNKNOWN]: So I didn't want to make sure that I did not miss anything because when it comes to, yes, so the story, if you want to know the story and got support, but it basically follows Quinn Kistillo, a single mother who returns the brim wave island after divorce, family conflicts, advertising, and the
• 2:53:21
  [UNKNOWN]: And of course, the story themes include romance, betrayal, family drama, mystery, crime, style, investigations.
• 2:53:27
  [UNKNOWN]: And of course, when it comes to major supporting characters, including Colton, Olivia Harrison, Sam Walters, Amala, Misha.
• 2:53:36
  [UNKNOWN]: Lori Lindwood, Mark Wynne, Frankie Malosi, Dominique Costillo, as Zeva Bates, and of course new chapters typically release weekly, so they keep their drama going and you know as a merge to puzzle game, they know how to make their drama boy.
• 2:53:57
  [UNKNOWN]: So if that being said, I mean, it's basically it as far as I did want to put a mistress back because you know, I try to put my mobile, you know, I try to put respect on a mobile game, it's out there and I'm saying, I should do something, I just
• 2:54:11
  [UNKNOWN]: All right, so anyways, as far as giving praise to the mobile community, make sure to click my links here in my bio to follow me on my social media and of course, if you're on Spotify and if you play gossip harbour, comment down below.
• 2:54:23
  [UNKNOWN]: What is the main intriguing fact that keeps you coming back to gossip harbour time and time again?
• 2:54:31
  [UNKNOWN]: Shefford.
• 2:54:32
  [UNKNOWN]: Promise me you'll tell them to subscribe for a free content now ladies and gentlemen this is Pacific song that starts off with never would have made it and as a Marvel fan I thought like I would have still made it you know what I'm saying all right my fault I just did
• 2:54:46
  [UNKNOWN]: want to be too extreme.
• 2:54:47
  [UNKNOWN]: But basically, Marvel rivals is currently on top ladies and gentlemen.
• 2:54:51
  [UNKNOWN]: It's one of the most played games on Steam currently, more specifically the 13th most played game on Steam as far as the concurrent player count because this is going to matter for when I'm about to say the concurrent player count is currently a hundred intent thousand players.
• 2:55:09
  [UNKNOWN]: The 24-hour peak is 117,000.
• 2:55:11
  [UNKNOWN]: It must have refreshed because of course I'm dropping my episode soon and I covered it and it was at 13.
• 2:55:18
  [UNKNOWN]: But right now it's currently at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
• 2:55:21
  [UNKNOWN]: It's currently in the seventh slot.
• 2:55:23
  [UNKNOWN]: Now,
• 2:55:25
  [UNKNOWN]: The reason why I'm even bringing this up is because more of a rival season 9 is completely overhauling the game, which is the first time in gaming history we've seen a popular live service take in a mince of it in a mince.
• 2:55:41
  [UNKNOWN]: overhaul like this.
• 2:55:43
  [UNKNOWN]: It's never been done before because I literally researched have you ever seen the game at its peak.
• 2:55:48
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm talking about not peak, but a game in its prime in the live service realm completely overhaul the gameplay loop like this.
• 2:55:56
  [UNKNOWN]: And the first thing that popped up was of course for a night OG, but some would say that was posed decline.
• 2:56:03
  [UNKNOWN]: Now I'm not trying to be rude, I'm just letting y'all know, and then of course the other closest example would be Overwatch too.
• 2:56:10
  [UNKNOWN]: So now you see what I'm saying.
• 2:56:12
  [UNKNOWN]: I believe Marvel rivals, especially with season 9, is showcasing that not only is it still hungry, but it
• 2:56:22
  [UNKNOWN]: As a live service, performing at the levels that it is, is still making this massive overhaul than season nine.
• 2:56:30
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, it's just very much commendable.
• 2:56:31
  [UNKNOWN]: Shepherd, you know what I'm saying?
• 2:56:32
  [UNKNOWN]: Just look at the state of gaming.
• 2:56:34
  [UNKNOWN]: Like, what is going on?
• 2:56:35
  [UNKNOWN]: And as far as the state of gaming, analytic dreams video Spotify to see the video along with the audio because we're currently showcasing Jubilee, the new announced characters gameplay.
• 2:56:45
  [UNKNOWN]: And of course a lot of other season nine.
• 2:56:47
  [UNKNOWN]: and storm is to come in the future.
• 2:56:49
  [UNKNOWN]: I believe it's coming out in two days.
• 2:56:50
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm recording this July 8th, 2026 for the people in the future.
• 2:56:54
  [UNKNOWN]: So we'll be officially coming out July 10th.
• 2:56:56
  [UNKNOWN]: Release time is 9 a.m. UTC 2 a.m. PDT and 5 a.m. EDT.
• 2:57:01
  [UNKNOWN]: Now of course.
• 2:57:02
  [UNKNOWN]: It wouldn't be notorious massive fake if he didn't get into the analytical data because when it comes to the notorious massive fake of Marvel rivals, safe to say, Antotality is one of the more successful games of all time, reaching 136 million, and this is estimated for January 2025.
• 2:57:19
  [UNKNOWN]: So only I know what is that right now.
• 2:57:21
  [UNKNOWN]: Steam alone generated $54 million, PS5 generated $27 million.
• 2:57:27
  [UNKNOWN]: Now if you want to know what Xbox generated,
• 2:57:30
  [UNKNOWN]: I said, if you want to know the Xbox generated, and we beat evil, we beat them, we go full.
• 2:57:36
  [UNKNOWN]: Anyways, so they name it, I counted for in the revenue.
• 2:57:42
  [UNKNOWN]: So with that being said, the main thing when it comes to the driving factors for this game is of course, micro transactions and things that nature is for our scans, because this game is completely free.
• 2:57:50
  [UNKNOWN]: I said, this game is completely free.
• 2:57:52
  [UNKNOWN]: That is one of the main.
• 2:57:54
  [UNKNOWN]: selling points.
• 2:57:55
  [UNKNOWN]: You could give the somebody who wants to play a quality, a high quality live service game with respect for the wallet because we're seeing a time and time again.
• 2:58:05
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean the latest episode is coming out soon as far as episode 162 no disc higher prices more firing is 2026 the year gamers finally take a stand.
• 2:58:20
  [UNKNOWN]: What is going on?
• 2:58:21
  [UNKNOWN]: So when it comes to this episode and the cover, hopefully I enjoyed the cover, hopefully I can't enjoy the cover and I took myself away so you can see, you know, it's just a advanced problem.
• 2:58:30
  [UNKNOWN]: You know what I'm saying?
• 2:58:31
  [UNKNOWN]: If anybody needs a advanced problem out there, now I'm saying, he boy may be ready to beat.
• 2:58:37
  [UNKNOWN]: Let me stop.
• 2:58:38
  [UNKNOWN]: Let me stop baking.
• 2:58:39
  [UNKNOWN]: All right, so basically, what it comes to the episode, I think this is very much an indication of the time we're in as a gaming society.
• 2:58:46
  [UNKNOWN]: So if we're positive news like this, I mean, it's few and four per tween between the muscle, June and July.
• 2:58:51
  [UNKNOWN]: So for gamers, I think this is a W that we should celebrate even.
• 2:58:55
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm telling you, even if it ends up not being the best gameplay loop, they still took a chance at a peak of his height trying to please his
• 2:59:06
  [UNKNOWN]: uh... connoisseurs uh... it's consumers as a connoisseurs that same thing basically uh... so what's entailed in season nine is of course jubilee she's going to be the launch hero for season nine she's going to be a strategy shout out to my strategies out there you know shout out to my strategy strategies mains out there y'all saying
• 2:59:25
  [UNKNOWN]: I just get it.
• 2:59:26
  [UNKNOWN]: I just did, bro.
• 2:59:27
  [UNKNOWN]: Anyways, so when they have Jubilee being the 50-second playable hero, yes, we are at 50-second.
• 2:59:32
  [UNKNOWN]: I know Tom Flows doesn't it?
• 2:59:34
  [UNKNOWN]: I feel like yesterday this game just came out, and I was trying to kill people with Spider-Man, and then I'm realized.
• 2:59:39
  [UNKNOWN]: And then I'll relax.
• 2:59:41
  [UNKNOWN]: So anyways, Jubilee's going to heal, teammates, blind enemies, of course, firework based energy attacks when it comes to the rest because I don't want to get into this specific issue yet.
• 2:59:52
  [UNKNOWN]: The main thing when it comes to season 9 completely changing the Marvel rivals gameplay loop as we know it.
• 2:59:58
  [UNKNOWN]: is because the team-up system has been completely overhauled and at first glance, you probably think it to you.
• 3:00:04
  [UNKNOWN]: So what was the big deal?
• 3:00:06
  [UNKNOWN]: They're always switching up teammates.
• 3:00:07
  [UNKNOWN]: They're always switching up team-ups.
• 3:00:09
  [UNKNOWN]: No ladies and gentlemen, they're switching up and bringing back every single team of that ever existed in Marvel rivals.
• 3:00:16
  [UNKNOWN]: Come on now.
• 3:00:17
  [UNKNOWN]: Just look at the state of it.
• 3:00:18
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, just switching it up.
• 3:00:19
  [UNKNOWN]: What is going on?
• 3:00:20
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, nobody's going to know what's going on in July 10th.
• 3:00:23
  [UNKNOWN]: I kid you not, this game's going to be completely new.
• 3:00:25
  [UNKNOWN]: They might as well just say Marvel rivals too before they released it because, of course, when it comes to the new update, every hero.
• 3:00:33
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, every single hero, Jubilee is the 50 second hero.
• 3:00:36
  [UNKNOWN]: Think about all the variables they're implementing in one season.
• 3:00:39
  [UNKNOWN]: Every single hero will have two team-up ability low-out, low-douts, that players can swap between them.
• 3:00:46
  [UNKNOWN]: And of course, from my video people, because I am live currently, Sam's Flood, just going to my Twitch cake, or just my link trim, my bio, all my links are there.
• 3:00:54
  [UNKNOWN]: But basically, when it comes to Marvel rivals,
• 3:00:58
  [UNKNOWN]: and the team ups.
• 3:00:59
  [UNKNOWN]: The main reason why this is such a big deal is because every single hero having two team up ability loadouts with 52 characters already in the roster, the variables.
• 3:01:12
  [UNKNOWN]: You know, whenever Dr.
• 3:01:13
  [UNKNOWN]: Strange, I got to go on my nerd too, but I told you I'm going to use more for nerd.
• 3:01:17
  [UNKNOWN]: And if any of you were, when Dr.
• 3:01:19
  [UNKNOWN]: Strange was sitting on that rock or whatever while Star Lord and Iron Man was was arguing and he was looking through all the possibilities.
• 3:01:26
  [UNKNOWN]: Net ease had to have that same exact moment when implementing this patch because I kid you not there's going to be too many variables to account for.
• 3:01:33
  [UNKNOWN]: Now I'm not saying that the game is going to be broken.
• 3:01:36
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm just saying there's no way that she's simply no way.
• 3:01:40
  [UNKNOWN]: that one of these old ptmups did not just slip through the cracks and just completely break the game now I'm not advocating for that.
• 3:01:46
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm just saying there's 52 heroes ladies and gentlemen
• 3:01:50
  [UNKNOWN]: And every single hero has two team-up abilities, regardless.
• 3:01:53
  [UNKNOWN]: And who regardless if the other person's in the game might not because if they're not in the game, it's still active.
• 3:01:59
  [UNKNOWN]: But when the other teammate is the other teammate that's a part of the team-up, if they're also in the game, you will add stronger effects and extra abilities.
• 3:02:09
  [UNKNOWN]: So it comes to a point where season nine is technically a whole new game.
• 3:02:16
  [UNKNOWN]: Instead of going with Marvel rivals too, they just went with a complete overhaul and called the season nine.
• 3:02:22
  [UNKNOWN]: They just called it the date.
• 3:02:24
  [UNKNOWN]: They was like, do we want to go at Marvel too?
• 3:02:26
  [UNKNOWN]: Or do we just want to switch it up and just tell them it's the installment of the new season?
• 3:02:30
  [UNKNOWN]: You're welcome.
• 3:02:31
  [UNKNOWN]: So we're going to see how this plays out your lot, Tim.
• 3:02:34
  [UNKNOWN]: A lot more to get into because of course, when you look at Black Widow, yes, ladies and gentlemen, I know you probably sent to yourself.
• 3:02:42
  [UNKNOWN]: I know that, and who I thank you to.
• 3:02:47
  [UNKNOWN]: Like I'm trying to, I'm trying to win 50,000, you know what I'm saying?
• 3:02:50
  [UNKNOWN]: All right, I'm on fall, I think it was 40,000, but anyways, basically when it comes to winning multiple thousands, Black Widow may be playable in the tournament as she got a complete overhaul.
• 3:03:01
  [UNKNOWN]: I believe if I have these videos up to just showcase things in the season, I'm off course for them to look at other videos specifically, you see, Black Widow.
• 3:03:11
  [UNKNOWN]: Uh, rework.
• 3:03:12
  [UNKNOWN]: I want to show y'all because I can just tell you, but if you don't play Marvel rivals, you may not exactly know what you're looking at.
• 3:03:17
  [UNKNOWN]: So, I think the main thing is going to Marvel rivals because they actually did a pretty good job on covering her rework because, you know, for the most part, it was so much changed.
• 3:03:27
  [UNKNOWN]: They didn't get the touch on everything, but they definitely wanted the touch on Black Widow.
• 3:03:31
  [UNKNOWN]: So that being said, the main thing that there was touching on with Black Widow was her complete ability set now that she was reworked.
• 3:03:39
  [UNKNOWN]: So here it is right here.
• 3:03:40
  [UNKNOWN]: So I'm not hot up this new house.
• 3:03:43
  [UNKNOWN]: I swear, I swear, I'm getting one second.
• 3:03:47
  [UNKNOWN]: I swear, I'm 20 says going on 80, I got to give you some grace.
• 3:03:49
  [UNKNOWN]: No cap.
• 3:03:52
  [UNKNOWN]: Well, I think that's better.
• 3:03:53
  [UNKNOWN]: Let's try this one.
• 3:03:54
  [UNKNOWN]: Let's see.
• 3:03:55
  [UNKNOWN]: This new house type massively buffed.
• 3:03:57
  [UNKNOWN]: I already watched this already know exactly where it is.
• 3:04:00
  [UNKNOWN]: and of course I could describe the story.
• 3:04:01
  [UNKNOWN]: I think it's sort of the best effect primary.
• 3:04:05
  [UNKNOWN]: It's towards the beginning, I believe.
• 3:04:07
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, here we go.
• 3:04:11
  [UNKNOWN]: Once again, for my audio only podcast listeners and a latest dreams video on Spotify to see the video along with the audio.
• 3:04:19
  [UNKNOWN]: Secondly, we've transformed her ultimate ability into her ADS sniper mode, which will last for a set duration or until a certain number of bullets are fired.
• 3:04:32
  [UNKNOWN]: Again, prioritizing the counterplay experience with still haven't given her the ability to venture on critical hits.
• 3:04:41
  [UNKNOWN]: However, as power compensation, we've just equally increased the
• 3:04:49
  [UNKNOWN]: and they can now pierce straight through enemies.
• 3:04:52
  [UNKNOWN]: Crucially, non-critical hits will also do incredibly high damage, completely shooting any damage for our courage.
• 3:05:01
  [UNKNOWN]: The automaker here is to preserve the purest diving experience for players who love it, while using the framework of an automated grenade that immanned devastating power it deserves.
• 3:05:14
  [UNKNOWN]: Finally!
• 3:05:16
  [UNKNOWN]: With retained Black Widow's spring and super jump, entirely removing their Snapdragonan restrictions.
• 3:05:23
  [UNKNOWN]: Her spinning kick will also stay, and with introduce a brand new ability.
• 3:05:29
  [UNKNOWN]: Where Black Widow is airborne, she can launch towards the target location and slam her Widow's bite countless down, during a U.E.
• 3:05:37
  [UNKNOWN]: damage to nearby enemies.
• 3:05:40
  [UNKNOWN]: I know that in what thank you.
• 3:05:43
  [UNKNOWN]: Nana is.
• 3:05:45
  [UNKNOWN]: I know who I thank you to you.
• 3:05:47
  [UNKNOWN]: I know what you're doing with Black Widow, y'all saw.
• 3:05:49
  [UNKNOWN]: They all cooked with her summer skin and y'all gave her a rework expeditiously.
• 3:05:53
  [UNKNOWN]: Y'all ain't slid.
• 3:05:53
  [UNKNOWN]: slam her videos by gondolaist down, Newling AOE damage to nearby enemies.
• 3:05:59
  [UNKNOWN]: Our vision here is to make Black Widows close quarters melee combos for a much more seamlessly.
• 3:06:06
  [UNKNOWN]: Having her some serious aggressive first kill.
• 3:06:09
  [UNKNOWN]: Now the reason why we're focusing on this is because if you don't know Black Widow, it was horrendously the worst player and more of a rival.
• 3:06:14
  [UNKNOWN]: So I say horrendously, that's a little exaggeration.
• 3:06:17
  [UNKNOWN]: You could be good with her if you was like a marksman, right?
• 3:06:20
  [UNKNOWN]: So...
• 3:06:21
  [UNKNOWN]: But the most part, she kind of like, I'm not going to say Spider-Man, I'm not going to go that far.
• 3:06:25
  [UNKNOWN]: But you had to do a lot with her to do well.
• 3:06:27
  [UNKNOWN]: You could do well if you was like fantastic at certain things with Black Widow.
• 3:06:31
  [UNKNOWN]: But it was basically high skill with low reward.
• 3:06:36
  [UNKNOWN]: You know, other characters give you low skill, high reward.
• 3:06:39
  [UNKNOWN]: So a lot of Black Widow, which is why this rework happened in the first place.
• 3:06:51
  [UNKNOWN]: You can experience all the details for yourself once the update goes live.
• 3:06:56
  [UNKNOWN]: Okay, and at the beginning I did miss a little bit, so I didn't want to talk about her actual.
• 3:07:00
  [UNKNOWN]: Here's a brief overview of our approach to these adjustments.
• 3:07:05
  [UNKNOWN]: First, we've removed the ADS sniper mode from her standard state and increased the fire rate of her primary attack.
• 3:07:14
  [UNKNOWN]: At the same time,
• 3:07:16
  [UNKNOWN]: We've moved the Church in Legica Plastma Plast from her original ultimate to be normally available.
• 3:07:22
  [UNKNOWN]: Hitting admins with this new damage and applies a slow effect.
• 3:07:27
  [UNKNOWN]: I know that in what I thank you, these are the adjustments, on one hand.
• 3:07:34
  [UNKNOWN]: We no longer need to stress over the one-shot KO issue of a normal sniper.
• 3:07:39
  [UNKNOWN]: Now it's all the main Black Widow main again I've said over this because apparently she was saying it takes away the skill from Black Widow on the other hand.
• 3:07:49
  [UNKNOWN]: We hope this and I'm not gonna lie to you, I'm going to refer to her because obviously she has more hours into the character that I do and if you're making the character easier with higher damage, I can see what she's saying.
• 3:08:01
  [UNKNOWN]: Black Widow more stable consistent if he has raising her base damage floor so more players can
• 3:08:09
  [UNKNOWN]: keywords, more players can pick her up.
• 3:08:12
  [UNKNOWN]: Not players pick her up.
• 3:08:14
  [UNKNOWN]: Because certain people that was like nasty with Black Widow, just like any character that you know, you get super pro love with, right?
• 3:08:21
  [UNKNOWN]: But for the most part, Black Widow to the average player on Marvel rivals was just straight trash.
• 3:08:27
  [UNKNOWN]: It wasn't a lot of value.
• 3:08:27
  [UNKNOWN]: You could get out of her if your skill level was that certain point.
• 3:08:32
  [UNKNOWN]: Secondly, we've transformed her.
• 3:08:34
  [UNKNOWN]: All right, so then it goes back into the ultimate.
• 3:08:35
  [UNKNOWN]: So that is why I wanted to start off with that, because when it comes to more of a rival specifically, I believe that they had no reason to make this overhaul, which I think is even more commendable because taking risk,
• 3:08:50
  [UNKNOWN]: Not just for any reason, right?
• 3:08:52
  [UNKNOWN]: Taking risks because you see that people are complaining about certain team us being taken out of game, not in the game, things that nature so, they basically did the LeBron.
• 3:09:01
  [UNKNOWN]: It was like, hold up now, here's one more.
• 3:09:03
  [UNKNOWN]: Here's another one.
• 3:09:04
  [UNKNOWN]: Actually, everybody got two team up abilities and the world went crazy.
• 3:09:09
  [UNKNOWN]: What a game of the world.
• 3:09:11
  [UNKNOWN]: So, some other things I wanted to talk about aside from the Black Widow rework, because there's still a lot to get into, is when it comes to the Battle Pass, it's going to be more Egyptian centered as far as the location, there's going to be 10 unlockable costumes, and of course there's always a premium Battle Pass, I believe I had an image, yeah, here we go.
• 3:09:31
  [UNKNOWN]: So this is the whole image of season 9 right here.
• 3:09:33
  [UNKNOWN]: So basically, when it comes to season 9,
• 3:09:37
  [UNKNOWN]: And it's following the story, right?
• 3:09:39
  [UNKNOWN]: The story is following a pop-a-lips downfall.
• 3:09:42
  [UNKNOWN]: A mysterious string of desperate, spreads across thieves, players investigate using faith, harvesting engine that sees and draws inspiration from age of a pop-a-lips and X-Men mythology.
• 3:09:53
  [UNKNOWN]: Now I don't know if y'all been paying attention.
• 3:09:56
  [UNKNOWN]: Marvel being glazed and X-Men to the moon and bat.
• 3:09:58
  [UNKNOWN]: You guys.
• 3:09:59
  [UNKNOWN]: Now I'm not saying there's nothing wrong with it because X-Men 97 is phenomenal.
• 3:10:03
  [UNKNOWN]: But all I'm saying is when it comes to X-Men and all this height for a pocket of this, like Benny, he just, all right, I ain't gonna spoil it.
• 3:10:12
  [UNKNOWN]: Anyways, when it comes to X-Men specifically, I'm not mad at the X-Men glaze because it needs that you need to happen at some point.
• 3:10:19
  [UNKNOWN]: I think it took too long when it comes to certain movies that may be coming out at the end of this month and they're propaganda for X-Men.
• 3:10:27
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm not a fan of that.
• 3:10:29
  [UNKNOWN]: But when it comes to in general, focusing on the show, focusing on the iconic team-up of X-Men, I'm all for it.
• 3:10:39
  [UNKNOWN]: So I'm not mad at Jubilee being in there.
• 3:10:40
  [UNKNOWN]: I saw people up said, like, oh, we haven't had a Vinger since the game launch.
• 3:10:43
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm like, bro, well, the VingerD y'all want.
• 3:10:45
  [UNKNOWN]: Because y'all saying, it's like, well, the Vinger would y'all want in the game.
• 3:10:50
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm honestly trying to rank my brain as a Marvel nerd.
• 3:10:53
  [UNKNOWN]: We have every single, well, not I'm not going to say every single.
• 3:10:55
  [UNKNOWN]: But,
• 3:10:56
  [UNKNOWN]: All of the big, like, which I want next year?
• 3:10:58
  [UNKNOWN]: By one of our own, like, what type of venture I want?
• 3:11:03
  [UNKNOWN]: That's the problem.
• 3:11:04
  [UNKNOWN]: I think the focusing on the X-Men is beyond logical.
• 3:11:07
  [UNKNOWN]: And if they are, if they are got to focus on the Avengers, it needs to be the villains.
• 3:11:11
  [UNKNOWN]: I need Thanos, I need Green Goblin.
• 3:11:13
  [UNKNOWN]: I need, he's not the Avengers villain, but you get the point.
• 3:11:16
  [UNKNOWN]: I need Thanos.
• 3:11:17
  [UNKNOWN]: Basically, I need a villain art if they're going to focus on something else.
• 3:11:20
  [UNKNOWN]: All the Avengers are in the game.
• 3:11:21
  [UNKNOWN]: We have Iron Man.
• 3:11:22
  [UNKNOWN]: We have Captain America, Thor, Hulk, Spider-Man.
• 3:11:25
  [UNKNOWN]: We even have Hawke and I'm Black Widow.
• 3:11:26
  [UNKNOWN]: Who asked for him?
• 3:11:28
  [UNKNOWN]: Like, I don't want to understand.
• 3:11:29
  [UNKNOWN]: So anyways, with that being said, season nine,
• 3:11:33
  [UNKNOWN]: to put in Alainus terms.
• 3:11:35
  [UNKNOWN]: New hero is Jubilee, and so I'm gonna take the season real map away, so you know, take a screenshot, whatever, hold on, I'm gonna take my self away.
• 3:11:43
  [UNKNOWN]: There we go.
• 3:11:45
  [UNKNOWN]: All right, now back now.
• 3:11:46
  [UNKNOWN]: So basically, if you need to take a screenshot, hey, guess what?
• 3:11:48
  [UNKNOWN]: I gave you time to do it.
• 3:11:49
  [UNKNOWN]: So anyways, when it comes to the lamest terms of season nine, we have a new hero, which is Jubilee, we have mid-season hero, which is the hood.
• 3:11:57
  [UNKNOWN]: I didn't even talk about that because, of course, they didn't show him at all, which he's gonna be coming at the middle part of season nine.
• 3:12:03
  [UNKNOWN]: So there's no need to focus on him right now.
• 3:12:05
  [UNKNOWN]: The complete team-up system is overhauled.
• 3:12:06
  [UNKNOWN]: That's the biggest factor in this entire season.
• 3:12:09
  [UNKNOWN]: Oh no, in this entire update, not the Black Widow redesign.
• 3:12:12
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, that's cool or whatever.
• 3:12:15
  [UNKNOWN]: The team-up system overhaul where every single hot-up is like, is that cloaking down?
• 3:12:20
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't know, let me focus up, that's my fault.
• 3:12:22
  [UNKNOWN]: When it comes to the actual team-up abilities, I believe this is going to basically make it more of a rivals too, and the game as we know it is going to end July 10th.
• 3:12:35
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm not trying to be dramatic, but essentially going to be a completely different game.
• 3:12:40
  [UNKNOWN]: Other than that we have the regenerative shield mechanic now.
• 3:12:45
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't know if I actually had a video of that in how that work I don't think I did.
• 3:12:49
  [UNKNOWN]: Let me see.
• 3:12:50
  [UNKNOWN]: Come on.
• 3:12:50
  [UNKNOWN]: Let's see Gen 2 shield mechanic.
• 3:12:59
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't know if I saw a video of show cuz I had that works All right, we go shout out to this person
• 3:13:08
  [UNKNOWN]: I think this is the actual one, okay?
• 3:13:10
  [UNKNOWN]: Hopefully it is, if it's not, then I'm really 26, 180, I think this is the right one.
• 3:13:15
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, here we go.
• 3:13:16
  [UNKNOWN]: new regenerative shield mechanic which makes up half of your dive heroes health pool.
• 3:13:23
  [UNKNOWN]: Now this actually restores its health automatically when you're inactive.
• 3:13:27
  [UNKNOWN]: We wanted to know how long you actually need to wait before the regenerative shields actually kick in and it turns out after testing with a couple of different heroes you need to wait for five whole seconds without taking any damage whatsoever and that recovers that green portion in your health bar.
• 3:13:44
  [UNKNOWN]: So if you are diving at enemy back playing, this could be absolutely clutching and keeping your life on allowing you to escape.
• 3:13:50
  [UNKNOWN]: Now, support, don't have anything like this, I just hate him, bro, for no reason.
• 3:13:55
  [UNKNOWN]: You guys.
• 3:13:55
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I'm saying just hating on strategies for no reason, strategies, main, we'll never get to respect their deserve, but that's whatever.
• 3:14:06
  [UNKNOWN]: Come on, now tell that to my Deadpool, you know what I'm saying?
• 3:14:09
  [UNKNOWN]: No, I'm just saying.
• 3:14:10
  [UNKNOWN]: They don't understand, bro.
• 3:14:11
  [UNKNOWN]: My Deadpool would be diving whenever I get to, or are you anyways?
• 3:14:14
  [UNKNOWN]: Some say, oh, so Marvel Rivals just, now it was funny.
• 3:14:17
  [UNKNOWN]: There's really no healer at that side, diver.
• 3:14:19
  [UNKNOWN]: Besides,
• 3:14:21
  [UNKNOWN]: Who could be a diver?
• 3:14:22
  [UNKNOWN]: Honestly, wife-fox, isn't that funny when he talked about diving here at wife-fox?
• 3:14:26
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, as a strategist main, I would not recommend diving in this scenario.
• 3:14:30
  [UNKNOWN]: But, uh, when it comes to actual divers, I think Deadpool would be the one, because he's usually a, like, if you want to go through healers, anyways, you're going to point.
• 3:14:39
  [UNKNOWN]: So, when it comes to the regenerative health, that's how it works.
• 3:14:42
  [UNKNOWN]: But,
• 3:14:44
  [UNKNOWN]: The other thing I want to get into is the Egyptian theme map and storyline.
• 3:14:47
  [UNKNOWN]: If you notice, X-Men 97 is currently having an Egyptian theme, and of course Apocalypse.
• 3:14:54
  [UNKNOWN]: So it's kind of scary how on the same page the X-Men 97 show is with Marvel rivals.
• 3:15:01
  [UNKNOWN]: Now of course, I think Marvel rivals will be easier to maneuver what they're doing to fit X-Men.
• 3:15:08
  [UNKNOWN]: instead of a compared device versus I think the X-Men 97 show would be hard at the maneuver with their doing to fit Marvel rivals because just an animated show in general.
• 3:15:17
  [UNKNOWN]: I think there's a lot more moving parts as far as quality levels and matching Marvel rivals in this for them from Marvel rivals to do it because I mean I'm not gonna say who cares about the Marvel rival story but I mean you know it's not really that deep compared to X-Men 97.
• 3:15:32
  [UNKNOWN]: So anyways, well that means that and that's an invisible fan you know,
• 3:15:37
  [UNKNOWN]: I say the discourse, you know, I'm a huge Marvel fan, but I don't like the discourse between the Marvel fans and the X-Men fans.
• 3:15:48
  [UNKNOWN]: Can't we all just get along like, come on, you guys, like, come on, man, we go and get along.
• 3:15:52
  [UNKNOWN]: Anyways, that's basically it for that.
• 3:15:55
  [UNKNOWN]: The main thing I want to get into, of course, is the team ups.
• 3:15:58
  [UNKNOWN]: So I do have a video for that, and when it comes to that video, I'm trying to see
• 3:16:04
  [UNKNOWN]: because I know what it looks like.
• 3:16:05
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't think I had it in the my little cute thing.
• 3:16:08
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I did it.
• 3:16:08
  [UNKNOWN]: Okay.
• 3:16:09
  [UNKNOWN]: So, and also shout out to all these creators, make sure to let me go practice why I pretty sure I quit.
• 3:16:13
  [UNKNOWN]: You know what I'm saying?
• 3:16:14
  [UNKNOWN]: You know, they're doing the lawyers work, you know what I'm saying?
• 3:16:16
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't know.
• 3:16:18
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't know.
• 3:16:18
  [UNKNOWN]: They're doing the lawyers work right here.
• 3:16:20
  [UNKNOWN]: Boy, I could do not.
• 3:16:21
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't know.
• 3:16:21
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I'm afraid.
• 3:16:23
  [UNKNOWN]: That, that like this.
• 3:16:24
  [UNKNOWN]: You know, I am on stream, so maybe slow a little bit.
• 3:16:27
  [UNKNOWN]: Okay, there we go.
• 3:16:28
  [UNKNOWN]: You know, you got practice with your pretty shouts, and shout out these creators, man.
• 3:16:31
  [UNKNOWN]: They're doing the guys, you know, they're doing the guys work right here, boy.
• 3:16:34
  [UNKNOWN]: Oh, this is the one I was wanting to look at.
• 3:16:35
  [UNKNOWN]: Oh, okay, wow, I do have it here.
• 3:16:38
  [UNKNOWN]: All right, so anyways, when it comes to this particular video, I dare want to hop into Emma.
• 3:16:47
  [UNKNOWN]: So that is it.
• 3:16:49
  [UNKNOWN]: Let's see her abilities right quick.
• 3:16:52
  [UNKNOWN]: Cause you know I'm in a main, technically.
• 3:16:54
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, I know I say I'm a strategist main, but that's because I like playing all the strategists as far as tanks, I'm more of an in a main, but I like playing a lot of different characters.
• 3:17:02
  [UNKNOWN]: You're all gonna see in the second.
• 3:17:05
  [UNKNOWN]: And with that being said, where is Emma?
• 3:17:08
  [UNKNOWN]: Oh, she's right here.
• 3:17:08
  [UNKNOWN]: All right, cool.
• 3:17:14
  [UNKNOWN]: So it's 23 minutes of all the team motion showcases, and as you can tell by the title, I'll all 100 plus new team ups and more of a rival season 9.
• 3:17:22
  [UNKNOWN]: Ladies and gentlemen, why I tell you this is going to be a completely different game.
• 3:17:24
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm not joking.
• 3:17:26
  [UNKNOWN]: Diamond and snow.
• 3:17:27
  [UNKNOWN]: You all know I'm saying it come on now.
• 3:17:29
  [UNKNOWN]: Come on now.
• 3:17:30
  [UNKNOWN]: That's, that's, that's, that's.
• 3:17:32
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I was thinking that it was, let's go.
• 3:17:40
  [UNKNOWN]: Cold snap.
• 3:17:42
  [UNKNOWN]: Diamond and snow.
• 3:17:43
  [UNKNOWN]: Now I'm not going to lie to you.
• 3:17:46
  [UNKNOWN]: I wonder, because I use your shield all the time to block off my inn, like the people I'm shooting from the healers, I wonder if I do that.
• 3:17:54
  [UNKNOWN]: And then put my shield back there, like that would be like a double layer of just now my whole team could just go crazy on that without any heals.
• 3:18:03
  [UNKNOWN]: Let's see how that works whenever it comes out.
• 3:18:05
  [UNKNOWN]: I will be playing this game whenever the, well, obviously, you know what I'm saying?
• 3:18:09
  [UNKNOWN]: You know, don't make me get back on my PC, you know what I'm saying?
• 3:18:11
  [UNKNOWN]: I will be playing this game once I come back, you know what I'm saying?
• 3:18:14
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm not saying where I'm going to be, you know what I'm saying?
• 3:18:16
  [UNKNOWN]: Cause it's really nothing y'all been this.
• 3:18:17
  [UNKNOWN]: You know what I'm saying?
• 3:18:17
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm not going to tell y'all exactly where I'm going to be, because it doesn't matter.
• 3:18:20
  [UNKNOWN]: You know what I'm saying?
• 3:18:20
  [UNKNOWN]: Like, come on now.
• 3:18:21
  [UNKNOWN]: Like, well, I'll tell you what I'm feeling to be.
• 3:18:23
  [UNKNOWN]: You know what I'm saying now, I'm making too much sense.
• 3:18:25
  [UNKNOWN]: You feel me?
• 3:18:25
  [UNKNOWN]: Like, like, come on now.
• 3:18:27
  [UNKNOWN]: Y'all pay attention, but we're trying to get in the morpher rivals right now.
• 3:18:30
  [UNKNOWN]: Y'all tripping, but we're going to come on, man.
• 3:18:31
  [UNKNOWN]: These things, people, man.
• 3:18:32
  [UNKNOWN]: Come on, man.
• 3:18:34
  [UNKNOWN]: See you guys tomorrow.
• 3:18:34
  [UNKNOWN]: Anyways.
• 3:18:40
  [UNKNOWN]: Hold on, she's healing from that!
• 3:18:46
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't know what that does.
• 3:18:49
  [UNKNOWN]: Try to see what that does.
• 3:18:50
  [UNKNOWN]: Does she move faster?
• 3:18:55
  [UNKNOWN]: Okay, I see her health board getting covered.
• 3:18:57
  [UNKNOWN]: That means she can't be moved like this.
• 3:19:01
  [UNKNOWN]: That means she can't be moved, right?
• 3:19:02
  [UNKNOWN]: So basically,
• 3:19:04
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm trying to understand what the rest of it is because usually with the arrows going up, maybe that means she's faster now.
• 3:19:10
  [UNKNOWN]: Maybe she's doing my damage.
• 3:19:11
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't know.
• 3:19:12
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, another one I wanted to look at.
• 3:19:15
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm just going to my top three favorite characters.
• 3:19:17
  [UNKNOWN]: Once again, this video is phenomenal.
• 3:19:20
  [UNKNOWN]: As far as seeing all the team ups, that's going to be happening in July 10.
• 3:19:23
  [UNKNOWN]: But for me specifically, I want to go to my other favorite character in the game.
• 3:19:36
  [UNKNOWN]: Yo, so Emma has a team with Luna Snow, and Cloak has a, I'm gonna have to be toxic.
• 3:19:42
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm gonna make a Bill A bro, and man, what do y'all, what do y'all pick up Luna?
• 3:19:46
  [UNKNOWN]: Y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all pick up Luna, I'm throwing.
• 3:19:47
  [UNKNOWN]: Now I'll just find ya, I hear that for me.
• 3:19:48
  [UNKNOWN]: Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
• 3:20:06
  [UNKNOWN]: videos.
• 3:20:07
  [UNKNOWN]: Okay, so cloaking dagger Luna's snow, okay, so that's without her.
• 3:20:15
  [UNKNOWN]: Okay, and this is with her.
• 3:20:19
  [UNKNOWN]: Are you telling me she frees herself and heals other people, man, what is happening right now?
• 3:20:23
  [UNKNOWN]: No, that's insane.
• 3:20:25
  [UNKNOWN]: Imagine throwing a bubble down and then going into ice, like if it's happening?
• 3:20:33
  [UNKNOWN]: That's insane, bro.
• 3:20:38
  [UNKNOWN]: Okay, same thing Hmm, I would say it's maybe like giving my damnish boots like it's not Okay, so that one I'm not gonna lie to you.
• 3:20:57
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't know how effective that would be
• 3:21:00
  [UNKNOWN]: Like, technically, that's like a doctor strange, like shield, but they're shooting through it.
• 3:21:06
  [UNKNOWN]: So it's like damage resistant for your allies.
• 3:21:10
  [UNKNOWN]: But, you know, I just rather just heal them, honestly.
• 3:21:14
  [UNKNOWN]: Well, I rather just use my healin' bursts, but I don't know.
• 3:21:17
  [UNKNOWN]: Maybe I'm trippin'.
• 3:21:22
  [UNKNOWN]: And it's cool that the hood is teaming up with cloak.
• 3:21:27
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, so my guy said bro.
• 3:21:30
  [UNKNOWN]: The black man team in the hood broke out on the nose.
• 3:21:33
  [UNKNOWN]: Oh, my fault.
• 3:21:34
  [UNKNOWN]: Hey, you know, it ain't sponsored.
• 3:21:36
  [UNKNOWN]: You know, I get to say what I want Okay, I also like Loki, but that's not like I want to focus on him.
• 3:21:47
  [UNKNOWN]: Okay, so I like cloak Emma.
• 3:21:49
  [UNKNOWN]: What's my third?
• 3:21:50
  [UNKNOWN]: I think my third is usually
• 3:21:52
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't think I have a third angle.
• 3:21:54
  [UNKNOWN]: Okay, I play so many different characters.
• 3:21:55
  [UNKNOWN]: I love this game so much.
• 3:21:56
  [UNKNOWN]: I could you know I do think this game is one of the greatest games in the mod in generation Let me see I will go to Spider-Man by only to get my hopes up, man
• 3:22:08
  [UNKNOWN]: Hulk looks very OP.
• 3:22:09
  [UNKNOWN]: It seemed like he has the best abilities, and then being it seems like she would be the best to team up with because Venom, that's what it was.
• 3:22:18
  [UNKNOWN]: I wanted to look at Venom.
• 3:22:19
  [UNKNOWN]: I was thinking about learning of Venom.
• 3:22:21
  [UNKNOWN]: Well, not learning.
• 3:22:22
  [UNKNOWN]: I know how to play Venom.
• 3:22:22
  [UNKNOWN]: I was thinking about learning Piny.
• 3:22:24
  [UNKNOWN]: But once I saw Venom with the Phoenix boy, watch this right here.
• 3:22:27
  [UNKNOWN]: I thought let me see if I could find this way.
• 3:22:28
  [UNKNOWN]: It was my boyfriend or man.
• 3:22:30
  [UNKNOWN]: Well, my boy, idiot.
• 3:22:32
  [UNKNOWN]: Eddie, who is Eddie?
• 3:22:36
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm definitely 26 going to 80 because this is definitely being guys.
• 3:22:39
  [UNKNOWN]: I can't find them.
• 3:22:40
  [UNKNOWN]: Oh, he's right here.
• 3:22:40
  [UNKNOWN]: I cool.
• 3:22:41
  [UNKNOWN]: This is the move I'm talking about This move is gonna be insane boy No, I actually didn't move insane.
• 3:22:49
  [UNKNOWN]: We're gonna get to it.
• 3:22:50
  [UNKNOWN]: It's just so much like you probably don't even know what you're seeing right now That's how crazy this this game's gonna that July 10th bro.
• 3:22:57
  [UNKNOWN]: What are we looking at right now?
• 3:22:58
  [UNKNOWN]: What is this?
• 3:23:00
  [UNKNOWN]: That man is floating in mid-air with a whole bubble around him.
• 3:23:03
  [UNKNOWN]: This ain't SpongeBob?
• 3:23:04
  [UNKNOWN]: Shepard.
• 3:23:05
  [UNKNOWN]: Alright, my fault.
• 3:23:05
  [UNKNOWN]: Let's keep going.
• 3:23:06
  [UNKNOWN]: I'll just throw it off.
• 3:23:06
  [UNKNOWN]: Alright, so this is one of my...
• 3:23:10
  [UNKNOWN]: I think this is the most interesting ability in my opinion.
• 3:23:16
  [UNKNOWN]: No, not that one.
• 3:23:17
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm tripping.
• 3:23:22
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, that's one.
• 3:23:23
  [UNKNOWN]: Okay.
• 3:23:23
  [UNKNOWN]: So, I'm not gonna laugh.
• 3:23:24
  [UNKNOWN]: Somebody goes Phoenix and the games I'm about to play shortly.
• 3:23:29
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm definitely going to win them because I want to do this.
• 3:23:31
  [UNKNOWN]: I want to slap in person with technicals.
• 3:23:33
  [UNKNOWN]: By one world, this is all I was asking for when everybody was like, oh, man, why are you?
• 3:23:38
  [UNKNOWN]: Cause I had a whole clip with, you know, shout out to people who follow my clip channel.
• 3:23:42
  [UNKNOWN]: I had a whole clip talking about, oh, I want a symbiote spider man.
• 3:23:45
  [UNKNOWN]: It's a separate character in the game.
• 3:23:46
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, Deadpool got three slots.
• 3:23:48
  [UNKNOWN]: Spider-Man can't get two.
• 3:23:49
  [UNKNOWN]: He helps in what we're doing.
• 3:23:51
  [UNKNOWN]: So I'm thinking if symbiote spider-Man had his own slide.
• 3:23:55
  [UNKNOWN]: He could be a tank and he could be fighting like this.
• 3:23:57
  [UNKNOWN]: This is exactly how that symbiote spider man was gonna fight.
• 3:24:00
  [UNKNOWN]: ALE's galore, just slapping people left and right.
• 3:24:03
  [UNKNOWN]: Kind of like, what's that one game?
• 3:24:07
  [UNKNOWN]: It's not it's not it's not it's your time shadow dimensions just like shadow dimensions the way that the symbiotic man was fighting on the ground Like he could be doing all that Marvel rivals imagine having a character like that, but it basically just gave it to Vindam So yeah, I don't think my idea is coming in to fruition because they basically gave to move out one day for symbiotic Spider-Man to Vindam This move right here.
• 3:24:28
  [UNKNOWN]: That's why I just knew symbiotic man was gonna be boxing just like this the whole time All right, so let's see what the time
• 3:24:40
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, I imagine just slapping people left or right like, oh my gosh, I need heels, I need heels, all three of them need heels, boy, you know what I mean?
• 3:24:48
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, that's a problem right there.
• 3:24:50
  [UNKNOWN]: Anyways, as you can tell, I could probably stay on this Marvel rival season on update for the longest.
• 3:24:55
  [UNKNOWN]: We've been going for 30 minutes, just showing how much I very much, not only enjoyed just Marvel in general, but I enjoyed the update that NetEase had put forth because of course we already went over the stats, talked about how NetEase, I'm not saying there.
• 3:25:10
  [UNKNOWN]: at a place where they have to implement these changes, but the showcasing what it looks like to be on top is still trying to please your consumer with pro consumer tactics, because this is a free game once again.
• 3:25:25
  [UNKNOWN]: And the reason why I keep emphasizing it, this is a free game is because in the span of two months, ladies and gentlemen, the reason why the game recovery is like that for the episode 162 that's coming out soon.
• 3:25:37
  [UNKNOWN]: For the span of two months, we've had out of day hardware, priced above $1,000 as far as the steam machine.
• 3:25:45
  [UNKNOWN]: We've had Xbox consoles, prices in Creason, when they only have 30 to 40% of the entire console market share, right?
• 3:25:54
  [UNKNOWN]: So I imagine losing the console race by that much and still increasing your prices.
• 3:25:58
  [UNKNOWN]: And then we have Xbox, lay in our $3,200 people, right?
• 3:26:03
  [UNKNOWN]: Then we have a PlayStation,
• 3:26:05
  [UNKNOWN]: Not only saying that they're gonna raise the price to PS Plus, but they said, to you know what?
• 3:26:09
  [UNKNOWN]: With physicals.
• 3:26:10
  [UNKNOWN]: Ladies and gentlemen, they're ending physical production in January, 28.
• 3:26:13
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I'm, I'll, I'll catch you, not just look at the state.
• 3:26:16
  [UNKNOWN]: Nice, a real statement.
• 3:26:17
  [UNKNOWN]: Like, what is going on?
• 3:26:18
  [UNKNOWN]: So, gamers, camera joys on a company at its prime, having pro consumer tactics.
• 3:26:25
  [UNKNOWN]: Because I'm not gonna say, what will happen if they put a price point on Marvel rivals?
• 3:26:29
  [UNKNOWN]: But it'll be the same thing that's going on on GTA right now.
• 3:26:35
  [UNKNOWN]: They weren't gonna buy GTA the $100 edition because, oh, they're locking out everything in the game, um, exhibit it.
• 3:26:45
  [UNKNOWN]: You know what I mean?
• 3:26:46
  [UNKNOWN]: We ain't got a mess around, man.
• 3:26:48
  [UNKNOWN]: We ain't got a mess around.
• 3:26:49
  [UNKNOWN]: And we're not going to Xbox.
• 3:26:50
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't know a lot of pulled up Xbox charts.
• 3:26:52
  [UNKNOWN]: Who care about the, you know what I'm saying on my phone?
• 3:26:53
  [UNKNOWN]: You know, it's somebody from Xbox listening.
• 3:26:55
  [UNKNOWN]: I care about you.
• 3:26:56
  [UNKNOWN]: I care about Xbox.
• 3:26:57
  [UNKNOWN]: I care about Xbox too.
• 3:26:58
  [UNKNOWN]: I could deny.
• 3:26:59
  [UNKNOWN]: Let me see.
• 3:27:00
  [UNKNOWN]: So yeah, here we go.
• 3:27:02
  [UNKNOWN]: Ladies and gentlemen, I want you to pay attention to the price point, pay attention to the top three games on PlayStation.
• 3:27:06
  [UNKNOWN]: All right?
• 3:27:08
  [UNKNOWN]: No, that's not it.
• 3:27:09
  [UNKNOWN]: Here we go.
• 3:27:10
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah pay attention to the price point pay attention to the top three games on PlayStation I ain't gonna say it again because I'm just gonna let this talk man You know, it's just objective faction.
• 3:27:18
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm saying really trying I ain't reach out to too much I'm just trying to enlighten you on the objective facts and you know you do have it with you We'll do I'm saying I'm just trying to make a point.
• 3:27:25
  [UNKNOWN]: So basically gamers have no back boom somehow call us for both $99.
• 3:27:29
  [UNKNOWN]: Right best selling product on PlayStation Grand The Photo Six $99.
• 3:27:35
  [UNKNOWN]: Third best selling product
• 3:27:37
  [UNKNOWN]: on PlayStation.
• 3:27:38
  [UNKNOWN]: Now I know it's top 10 games in your country, but place in gentlemen, I live in the United States of America.
• 3:27:45
  [UNKNOWN]: So back to what I was saying, $100 for a GTA 6 game that hasn't even shown any gameplay loop, any gameplay mechanics, and it's $100, and it doesn't come out to November.
• 3:27:55
  [UNKNOWN]: Third best selling game on PlayStation, right?
• 3:27:58
  [UNKNOWN]: And everybody's like, oh, that's your rock star.
• 3:28:01
  [UNKNOWN]: Exhibit.
• 3:28:02
  [UNKNOWN]: be college football $2700 is the best sell-and-product on PlayStation.
• 3:28:07
  [UNKNOWN]: You know when it comes to gamers.
• 3:28:08
  [UNKNOWN]: I just don't think they have a backbone.
• 3:28:09
  [UNKNOWN]: Shepherd.
• 3:28:10
  [UNKNOWN]: I can't you're not.
• 3:28:10
  [UNKNOWN]: Just look at the state of gaming.
• 3:28:12
  [UNKNOWN]: Like, what is going on?
• 3:28:14
  [UNKNOWN]: So once again, the reason I was spending so much time on this free update with free two abilities implemented for every single hero, with free DLC character that's currently one of
• 3:28:32
  [UNKNOWN]: Not only that, but it will continue to be free.
• 3:28:35
  [UNKNOWN]: They're not putting a price point on at any point.
• 3:28:38
  [UNKNOWN]: I had at any time soon, right?
• 3:28:40
  [UNKNOWN]: And it's currently what?
• 3:28:41
  [UNKNOWN]: The one and two, three, four, five, six, seven.
• 3:28:43
  [UNKNOWN]: The seventh most play game on Steam.
• 3:28:46
  [UNKNOWN]: Only guy knows how good he's doing on console.
• 3:28:48
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't think it's in the top 10 on console.
• 3:28:49
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm tripping, it's literally right there.
• 3:28:51
  [UNKNOWN]: It has numbers six, most play game on PlayStation.
• 3:28:53
  [UNKNOWN]: And let's look at Xbox.
• 3:28:55
  [UNKNOWN]: Actually, I guess I'll do it.
• 3:28:56
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't go in the second.
• 3:28:57
  [UNKNOWN]: I guess we respect Xbox right quick.
• 3:28:59
  [UNKNOWN]: And then when you look at Xbox,
• 3:29:01
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, Marvel Rivals, not out there in one or one or in a play and boy, I could, I could, I could do not.
• 3:29:06
  [UNKNOWN]: Hell let loose as a 10th host play game of Xbox, what do those, what are those people be playing?
• 3:29:10
  [UNKNOWN]: Anyways, so basically the reason why I say that is because covering the gaming and music, IPs that notoriously affect the masses, I think Marvel Rivals net ease is currently having one of the best years alongside Capcom and somebody has to say it.
• 3:29:28
  [UNKNOWN]: So if you didn't get anything out of this entire breakdown of Marvel season 9, just know that new hero is Jubilee from X-Men, mid-season hero is the hood.
• 3:29:39
  [UNKNOWN]: If you don't know who the hood is, watch Iron Heart.
• 3:29:42
  [UNKNOWN]: Maybe it may be give you the indication.
• 3:29:44
  [UNKNOWN]: I think it's the hood from the comics.
• 3:29:45
  [UNKNOWN]: Also read a lot at Marvel Comics.
• 3:29:47
  [UNKNOWN]: So if it's the hood from the comics, it would be a lot vastly different.
• 3:29:51
  [UNKNOWN]: Complete team up, system overhauled, Black Widow redesign, regenerative shield mechanic which already showed, new battle paths with 10 costumes, Egyptian theme map,
• 3:30:03
  [UNKNOWN]: story line, significant balance changes, expected to dramatically shift the game's meta, making many many unknown variables is creating a lot of unknown variables that we will be able to see a jellot tent.
• 3:30:22
  [UNKNOWN]: And I'm telling you right now.
• 3:30:24
  [UNKNOWN]: If Marvel rivals pulls off what I think is by the pull off, this may be the greatest game.
• 3:30:30
  [UNKNOWN]: One of the greatest games of all time, because I think it's already one of the greatest games of the modern generation.
• 3:30:35
  [UNKNOWN]: This may be one of the greatest games of all time.
• 3:30:38
  [UNKNOWN]: So that being said, click my link to my bio to follow me on my social medias and of course for the people of Espatifa comment down below what you would like to see implemented in Marvel rivals next and of course what was your favorite team of that you've seen so far for the upcoming July 10th Marvel season 9 update.
• 3:31:09
  [UNKNOWN]: We'll take care of kids, man.
• 3:31:10
  [UNKNOWN]: All right, ladies and gentlemen, and a little dreams video on Spotify to see the video along with the idea because if you don't know, you know over here at Natoria's Mass Effect, I'm pretty transparent, you know what I'm saying?
• 3:31:19
  [UNKNOWN]: At the end of the day, obviously, you could tell based off my name that academics had a huge influence on me even diving into the constant career of the space.
• 3:31:29
  [UNKNOWN]: And of course, when it comes to Littonard, aka Shalomain, reading his book, Black Privilege Pun intended, was one of the biggest privileges that I've ever had, seeing the world through his perspective.
• 3:31:42
  [UNKNOWN]: And y'all may call it glazing, but I think that's why I'm at the place I am as far as doing this full time.
• 3:31:47
  [UNKNOWN]: You know what I'm saying?
• 3:31:48
  [UNKNOWN]: So, I wanted to start off with that to let y'all know that doing this
• 3:31:57
  [UNKNOWN]: when it comes to the genius of Leonardo and Livingston, also known as Charlotte Maine and academics, there's really no other mind you can compare it to them in the space of content creation, especially when focusing on hip-hop.
• 3:32:14
  [UNKNOWN]: Now, that brings me to my ultimate point.
• 3:32:17
  [UNKNOWN]: Ladies and gentlemen, I don't like this one bit.
• 3:32:21
  [UNKNOWN]: don't like it, man.
• 3:32:21
  [UNKNOWN]: Oh, like this one bit.
• 3:32:23
  [UNKNOWN]: I just don't like that shit, man.
• 3:32:24
  [UNKNOWN]: Because when it comes to the beef, the seemingly, the, the, the, the, the alleged beef between Shawlamain and academics.
• 3:32:32
  [UNKNOWN]: At the end of the day, to put it in layman's terms, the, the, layman's terms.
• 3:32:36
  [UNKNOWN]: This is a nothing burger.
• 3:32:38
  [UNKNOWN]: What I mean by that is, this is revolving around betting.
• 3:32:44
  [UNKNOWN]: Now, the great area of betting,
• 3:32:47
  [UNKNOWN]: is I'm about to expound upon that, but when it comes to Charlemagne and academics, I believe the main reason Charlemagne is even entertaining this conversation is because of the mammoth of influence that academics has grown into.
• 3:33:07
  [UNKNOWN]: I think as of right now,
• 3:33:09
  [UNKNOWN]: Academies says one of the most influential marketing tools and marketing factors in the hip-hop industry and when it comes to black influence You may not like it back.
• 3:33:22
  [UNKNOWN]: Academies is one of the most influential figures Whether they're good or bad in the black community now
• 3:33:29
  [UNKNOWN]: That may stay, that statement may take a lot of people by surprise because of course they're going to be all your buyers, you know, academics is one of your favorite content creators.
• 3:33:36
  [UNKNOWN]: And if you look at the objective sets, I mean academics engagement is leaps and bounds above the rest in the black community to the point where there's not political podcasts.
• 3:33:47
  [UNKNOWN]: But to the point where certain figures was being shown, no, certain figures in the political space was doing interviews with academics because of his
• 3:33:58
  [UNKNOWN]: Massive influence basic.
• 3:34:00
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm just gonna say Trump son was doing interview academics That what what Trump think they was looking at when he was decide to sit down and do interview academics I think he really knew everything about politics No for a like yeah, I think academics really all knowledgeable about politics You know he just he's just all knowing when it comes to politics of course And I hence fan bases massive so
• 3:34:23
  [UNKNOWN]: The reason why I bring a politics into this is because essentially speaking, jazzy is
• 3:34:31
  [UNKNOWN]: Also, one of the black figures that's very influential, which is why Roger Cadillan leaned upon him when Kaepernick was kneeling, and he got everybody as far as the Black community to stop boycotting the NFL.
• 3:34:43
  [UNKNOWN]: What Jay-Z did as far as influence in the Black community to completely disregard Kaepernick and stop kneeling.
• 3:34:49
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, that was just a master class all how to manipulate the Black community.
• 3:34:53
  [UNKNOWN]: I get you nuts.
• 3:34:54
  [UNKNOWN]: Oh, my fault.
• 3:34:55
  [UNKNOWN]: I ain't mean to unclip that up.
• 3:34:56
  [UNKNOWN]: You.
• 3:34:59
  [UNKNOWN]: So what they're dealing with three figures in a black community that's insanely effective, right?
• 3:35:06
  [UNKNOWN]: Then I'm going back and forth.
• 3:35:09
  [UNKNOWN]: I believe is really a power struggle on how the other people look at them as far as their influence on the black community.
• 3:35:18
  [UNKNOWN]: Hopefully I'm not losing you because I watch both of these people a lot.
• 3:35:22
  [UNKNOWN]: So I know exactly what is the
• 3:35:25
  [UNKNOWN]: foundation of the beef.
• 3:35:27
  [UNKNOWN]: They're trying to be seen as more influential over the black community in the other side is honestly more influential whether good or bad once again.
• 3:35:36
  [UNKNOWN]: I think academics and his camp, whether it's academic CV, whether it's all the content creators and for all those academics, I think as far as the ecosystem, what academics has built is one of the most influential marketing factors in the black community as of right now.
• 3:35:53
  [UNKNOWN]: So anyways,
• 3:35:55
  [UNKNOWN]: Well, that being said, ladies and gentlemen, Shawlamaine and Academics are allegedly beefing.
• 3:35:59
  [UNKNOWN]: Why the world may never know.
• 3:36:01
  [UNKNOWN]: Apparently, Shawlamaine and I have a lot of soundbites.
• 3:36:03
  [UNKNOWN]: So that's why I say, and the litigings.
• 3:36:05
  [UNKNOWN]: Well, actually, I'm probably not going to play the video of brilliant 80s because of course, you know how they get.
• 3:36:10
  [UNKNOWN]: But, oh.
• 3:36:11
  [UNKNOWN]: I played a sound bite.
• 3:36:12
  [UNKNOWN]: But anyways, Shalaman was talking about a specific point when it came to gambling.
• 3:36:16
  [UNKNOWN]: Now, once again, gambling is just the second layer.
• 3:36:20
  [UNKNOWN]: The first layer is the power struggle over the influence on the black community, being seen as the most influential marketing factors as far as influence the black community, which is very important when it comes to politics.
• 3:36:32
  [UNKNOWN]: The second layer is gambling.
• 3:36:34
  [UNKNOWN]: And here is Le Nard also known as Shawlamay talking about the gambling reasons why he's going to academics right here.
• 3:36:42
  [UNKNOWN]: But inverse wire dot com says pay no attention to the grand was behind the curtain.
• 3:36:47
  [UNKNOWN]: Five lawsuits say the vegetable riged, the screams were all right.
• 3:36:50
  [UNKNOWN]: So, um, grand wizard is
• 3:36:53
  [UNKNOWN]: is academic CV, by the way, and even the chat losing his mind was a higher inside the machine than manufacturer's drink.
• 3:37:00
  [UNKNOWN]: Grant, was it as mentioned in that George win?
• 3:37:03
  [UNKNOWN]: Act.
• 3:37:03
  [UNKNOWN]: I want to hear you talk about that, and the Wall Street Journal article is...
• 3:37:08
  [UNKNOWN]: They looked like they were getting rich on polymarket, but none of it was real.
• 3:37:11
  [UNKNOWN]: The prediction market has flooded social media with deceptive videos paid by paid creators according to a Wall Street Journal investigation, Drake and Aiden Roth, the client of comment for that article as they showed it and showed to keep asking the dates he trying to find out for this polymarket for bread.
• 3:37:25
  [UNKNOWN]: That ain't got nothing to do with rock nation.
• 3:37:27
  [UNKNOWN]: Danny got nothing to do with with Kendrick.
• 3:37:30
  [UNKNOWN]: Oh, I just got the line now.
• 3:37:31
  [UNKNOWN]: She's asking the date, meaning the release.
• 3:37:33
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, Chris, come on.
• 3:37:36
  [UNKNOWN]: Okay.
• 3:37:36
  [UNKNOWN]: Oh, that was great.
• 3:37:37
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm not gonna lie.
• 3:37:38
  [UNKNOWN]: I didn't get the either.
• 3:37:40
  [UNKNOWN]: No, the whole time I'll say, oh, man, she wants to go on a date.
• 3:37:42
  [UNKNOWN]: I didn't make sure that's before, you know.
• 3:37:44
  [UNKNOWN]: Hey, that's why you know, you need to go.
• 3:37:45
  [UNKNOWN]: You don't say, okay, I got my dope on me.
• 3:37:47
  [UNKNOWN]: Anyways, so without, you know, that was just a random Drake glaze.
• 3:37:50
  [UNKNOWN]: That's great, is my fault.
• 3:37:51
  [UNKNOWN]: Oh, anyways, with that being said,
• 3:37:53
  [UNKNOWN]: The main thing I wanted to get into was the accusation from Lennard, so basically he's targeting stake once again, for some reason.
• 3:38:02
  [UNKNOWN]: Certain people in Charlemagne's camp wants to target steak and targeting steak.
• 3:38:09
  [UNKNOWN]: You also have to target their biggest mascots, which is Drake, which is Adon Ross and of course academics.
• 3:38:15
  [UNKNOWN]: So now that you're looking at academics and academics TV, keep in mind the two separate entities.
• 3:38:21
  [UNKNOWN]: Academies is his own self as far as content creator.
• 3:38:24
  [UNKNOWN]: Academies TV was once,
• 3:38:28
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, if you're not in content creator lane, you won't get the rage comparison.
• 3:38:31
  [UNKNOWN]: I was about to compare him to rage, but basically academics TV started off as a academics clipping channel right it's in just blossoming to his own influential platform in itself.
• 3:38:41
  [UNKNOWN]: So academics TV is it's not just as big as academics.
• 3:38:44
  [UNKNOWN]: but it's rising on the list of influential platforms.
• 3:38:48
  [UNKNOWN]: So anyways, academia's TV also is with stake.
• 3:38:51
  [UNKNOWN]: The reason why this is a big deal because Leonardo is pointing out that stake is allegedly an illegal gambling promotion, right?
• 3:38:59
  [UNKNOWN]: Which brings you back to layer two of academics versus Charlemagne.
• 3:39:03
  [UNKNOWN]: Layer one is the power struggle over to influence how the black community.
• 3:39:07
  [UNKNOWN]: Layer two is gambling.
• 3:39:10
  [UNKNOWN]: them, no, no, lanar targeting stake is very interesting because you look at a lot of baiting platforms and they're all in the gray area as far as allegedly breaking the law.
• 3:39:22
  [UNKNOWN]: I say it allegedly, but we're about to get into some things that's not a legit.
• 3:39:25
  [UNKNOWN]: As draft Kings had NFT lawsuit in 2025 where they agreed to pay 10 million settlement to resolve a class action lawsuit.
• 3:39:32
  [UNKNOWN]: Right?
• 3:39:32
  [UNKNOWN]: Then you had draft Kings in Fandle, consumer protection suits where the city of Baltimore and the visual plaintiffs filed major lawsuits accusing the giants of using predatory highly addictive psychological triggers and VIP targeting methods.
• 3:39:45
  [UNKNOWN]: Then you had Colosshi state bands and criminal charges in 2025 to 2026, which had a
• 3:39:52
  [UNKNOWN]: was hit with criminal charges in Arizona, Elosu slash in junctions and states like Michigan, Nevada, and Ohio for offering unlicensed sports in the election bedding.
• 3:40:01
  [UNKNOWN]: You get what I'm saying, like all of these sports platforms, it is allegedly breaking the law.
• 3:40:06
  [UNKNOWN]: One of the biggest prospects.
• 3:40:09
  [UNKNOWN]: The price fix was involved with the New York state regulation as far as $15 million from them paid out.
• 3:40:15
  [UNKNOWN]: No, $15 million from price picks that they had to pay because the New York state gambling commission targeted price picks for running unlicensed mobile sports betting disguised as fantasy sports in February, 2024, price picks, price picks are agreed to a $15 million settlement in temporarily seized New York operations.
• 3:40:35
  [UNKNOWN]: Now,
• 3:40:37
  [UNKNOWN]: There's a certain individual.
• 3:40:38
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't think you're a long list of the rappers that had to go get a job.
• 3:40:42
  [UNKNOWN]: There's certain individuals that says prize picks is a favorite part of the show.
• 3:40:46
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm just going to leave it at that.
• 3:40:48
  [UNKNOWN]: Here I'm sorry.
• 3:40:48
  [UNKNOWN]: You guys, see that's the problem.
• 3:40:51
  [UNKNOWN]: Let's keep going.
• 3:40:52
  [UNKNOWN]: So prize picks also had a Kentucky Clats action lawsuit in that settled in 2025, where prize picks, side prize, LLC, face the consumer, class action lawsuit.
• 3:41:04
  [UNKNOWN]: which was Tay Fox, T-A-I, Fox, versus side-priced.
• 3:41:08
  [UNKNOWN]: Imagine illegal gambling under Kentucky law.
• 3:41:12
  [UNKNOWN]: They agree to a settlement in 2025 to pay out cash refunds to affected players who lost money on the platform.
• 3:41:18
  [UNKNOWN]: This is all coming into my ultimate point.
• 3:41:23
  [UNKNOWN]: This is all transitioning into my ultimate point.
• 3:41:26
  [UNKNOWN]: This is a nothing burger.
• 3:41:27
  [UNKNOWN]: All the sports betting platforms allegedly are breaking the law.
• 3:41:30
  [UNKNOWN]: So now,
• 3:41:32
  [UNKNOWN]: when you look at them going back and forth trading shots over oh you try to do this betting oh you try to do that casino like it's just all a nothing burger because every single sporting every single gambling platform is allegedly breaking the law it's the reason why Mike basically is out here it's Mike or Malik I'm seeing Malik basically I think it's Malik basically
• 3:41:54
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, there's a reason why I'm a league beastly is pleading not guilty to gambling charges, right?
• 3:41:59
  [UNKNOWN]: But he's probably, well, let me not say that.
• 3:42:02
  [UNKNOWN]: Basically, he's in a lot of trouble when it comes to gambling.
• 3:42:04
  [UNKNOWN]: Gambling is in every single industry and is percolating like none other and is really a cancer, honestly.
• 3:42:11
  [UNKNOWN]: So, when it comes to La Nard versus Livingston, which is Shala-Maine versus Academics.
• 3:42:19
  [UNKNOWN]: I believe when he comes to the academic side of things, his case is not as strong as this is what he had to say about his findings of Charlemagne.
• 3:42:30
  [UNKNOWN]: Do you think you forgot to mention to his friend me?
• 3:42:34
  [UNKNOWN]: Hey, by the way, I'm on a legal duck.
• 3:42:37
  [UNKNOWN]: Oh yeah, I think I could put this up.
• 3:42:38
  [UNKNOWN]: So once again, I'm going to add a little dreams video on Spotify to see the video along with the audio.
• 3:42:45
  [UNKNOWN]: that I am under the umbrella of rock nation for the casino proposal that was just turned down a few months ago.
• 3:42:51
  [UNKNOWN]: Do you think my friend forgot to tell me that?
• 3:42:54
  [UNKNOWN]: Alright, so basically, I think this point is kind of...
• 3:42:57
  [UNKNOWN]: It's not the strongest point.
• 3:42:59
  [UNKNOWN]: As you can see, you see my cursor.
• 3:43:00
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I can see my cursor.
• 3:43:01
  [UNKNOWN]: Okay.
• 3:43:01
  [UNKNOWN]: So Lenore McCelvie, um, known professionally as Shalami in the gut.
• 3:43:06
  [UNKNOWN]: As you can see right here, he's under Roc Nation for some reason, uh, academics pulled up a whole document to say that he's under Roc Nation, which is this is just for a casino, like he's basically promoting a casino, not to cape for Shalami, but I don't think this is the biggest,
• 3:43:21
  [UNKNOWN]: Joker that academic side he was playing as far as the game of cars the Himalayan art is currently happening thank you for God You know I drink a lot maybe he drinks talk that man definitely drinks a lot anyways.
• 3:43:34
  [UNKNOWN]: Let's go I meant took a whole shot in the middle of his okay.
• 3:43:40
  [UNKNOWN]: Do you thank he forgot?
• 3:43:46
  [UNKNOWN]: I will commend Livingston because I don't know how this man drinks a whole bottle liquor is still stays on string for like six hours So like I just don't understand how this man that man's build different calls.
• 3:43:56
  [UNKNOWN]: So anyways Bringing that up is to lead to my ultimate point So he's pointing out how Shalaman is being on rock is on rock nations payroll, but Keep basically just showcase
• 3:44:11
  [UNKNOWN]: Hey, I'm being a part of the promotional aspects for the casino filing, which if you don't know, completely failed.
• 3:44:17
  [UNKNOWN]: Once again, Nas beat out Jay-Z.
• 3:44:18
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't know if all the Jay-Z has out there, you may be upset to know this, but Nas got to actual casino in New Jersey, I believe.
• 3:44:25
  [UNKNOWN]: And Jay-Z failed at getting the casino in New York, because Jay-Z, Charlemagne, I think Fat Joe, they was all like,
• 3:44:35
  [UNKNOWN]: the black influencer puppets for advocating for this casino in New York Times Square, I believe.
• 3:44:42
  [UNKNOWN]: So that failed, right?
• 3:44:44
  [UNKNOWN]: So show me was obviously a promoter for that.
• 3:44:48
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't think that was hidden.
• 3:44:49
  [UNKNOWN]: He literally showed up and gave like a speech.
• 3:44:52
  [UNKNOWN]: Now, I think when it comes to academics, he's tried to
• 3:45:00
  [UNKNOWN]: he's like he sees basically draw snitching that him bringing up the casino being good for New York on the breakfast club is illegal right and I looked it up and basically it's not illegal under FCC at FTC guidelines.
• 3:45:14
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm not lawyer so of course I let you know the more knowledge of who people let's you know talk about what's illegal and what's not but specifically when it comes to his accusation story, it's show me.
• 3:45:25
  [UNKNOWN]: Apparently, on the FCC and FTC guidelines, it is standard legal practice to advocate for a business venture if you are publicly identified as part of the bid, which, Charlemagne Woods.
• 3:45:35
  [UNKNOWN]: So, because he was publicly identified, which is what academics was showing, it's not
• 3:45:43
  [UNKNOWN]: He was trying to dry snitch on a being illegal, but it really wasn't.
• 3:45:46
  [UNKNOWN]: And obviously, he was trying to point at the fact of Charlemagne gaslighting him, which I will give him that point.
• 3:45:52
  [UNKNOWN]: Charlemagne is a master manipulator.
• 3:45:55
  [UNKNOWN]: When it comes to Charlemagne, when it comes to Joe Biden, I don't think I've seen better gaslighters ever, as far as the Orators.
• 3:46:05
  [UNKNOWN]: They're probably the best gaslighters I've ever heard or seen.
• 3:46:09
  [UNKNOWN]: So when it comes at, Charlemagne was trying to tell academics that Jay-Z doesn't know about them, rock nation, they don't know about them.
• 3:46:17
  [UNKNOWN]: There's no reason why they'd need to be going back and forth because academics has a whole history or rock nation in real life.
• 3:46:24
  [UNKNOWN]: People think he just, you know, hate Jay-Z even in a reason.
• 3:46:27
  [UNKNOWN]: In real life, rock nation definitely picks on him a lot.
• 3:46:31
  [UNKNOWN]: And takes found upon that point.
• 3:46:34
  [UNKNOWN]: DJ academics was in a seven hour long deposition.
• 3:46:37
  [UNKNOWN]: Yes, you heard me correctly.
• 3:46:40
  [UNKNOWN]: Get the state of head pub, like, what's going on?
• 3:46:42
  [UNKNOWN]: DJ Academics was in his seven hour long deposition.
• 3:46:47
  [UNKNOWN]: And he was facing rock nations legal representation.
• 3:46:51
  [UNKNOWN]: That's not a legit, that's actually a fact.
• 3:46:54
  [UNKNOWN]: He was in the deposition for seven hours in real life, dealing with rock nation.
• 3:46:58
  [UNKNOWN]: If you dealt with that as a content creator like Academics who makes a lot of money in his record and time, I imagine the seven hours he could have been using, he can use that seven hours for something else and I'm out of money he would have made.
• 3:47:10
  [UNKNOWN]: So you would be upset too, right?
• 3:47:12
  [UNKNOWN]: and when it comes to that rock nation has also played interest in games when it came to academics so when it comes to show the man getting involved, academics confiding it to show the man show the man literally saying like no they don't even they like what should be for rock nation literally gaslighting him to the point where I wonder if I have it on here.
• 3:47:32
  [UNKNOWN]: I think he said something like
• 3:47:34
  [UNKNOWN]: He said something like, oh, JZ don't even know about you or it's not that big of a deal or something like that.
• 3:47:39
  [UNKNOWN]: And it comes to find out that's why academics pull it up the whole Shawlam may be in under rock nation because he's basically like, well, you're under the people who have me at the seven hour deposition making me lose all type of revenue and it's still trying to play nasty games and you're acting like you're oblivious to the situation or you're trying or even worse, you're trying to say that JZ is oblivious to the situation and rock nation can cure a list.
• 3:48:01
  [UNKNOWN]: So.
• 3:48:02
  [UNKNOWN]: That's why I say Charlemagne, Joe Buddin, just Hall of Fame Gas Lighters.
• 3:48:06
  [UNKNOWN]: If there's one thing that academics is, he's very much transparent.
• 3:48:12
  [UNKNOWN]: I think that's one of his pros and biggest cons.
• 3:48:15
  [UNKNOWN]: He's so transparent to the point where you come to realize that this man, he can spawn by a lot of people.
• 3:48:21
  [UNKNOWN]: So when it comes to Charlemagne, obviously he's spawning him, which is why I should academics or so,
• 3:48:27
  [UNKNOWN]: be wielded at seeing Charlemagne under rock nation.
• 3:48:31
  [UNKNOWN]: So that's another point as far as the beef when it comes to Charlemagne and academics.
• 3:48:35
  [UNKNOWN]: So once again, the first layer of the beef I believe is the power struggle over the black influence.
• 3:48:42
  [UNKNOWN]: The second layer is
• 3:48:45
  [UNKNOWN]: who can get the biggest bag from these promotion companies, which basically goes back to the first layer, as far as we're gonna give the biggest bag to the biggest influence of the Black community, right?
• 3:48:57
  [UNKNOWN]: So when you look at academics versus Shalameen, it's not one versus the other.
• 3:49:03
  [UNKNOWN]: It's a conglomerate versus a conglomerate.
• 3:49:06
  [UNKNOWN]: It's rock nation versus the academics ecosystem.
• 3:49:11
  [UNKNOWN]: That is why a lot of people are
• 3:49:13
  [UNKNOWN]: confused on why this academic show the main beef is either happening.
• 3:49:17
  [UNKNOWN]: It's because
• 3:49:19
  [UNKNOWN]: And for his value, Charlotte Maine was coming across as if he was completely oblivious to what Roc Nation was doing to academics.
• 3:49:26
  [UNKNOWN]: It's come to find out he's the main one who would know what Roc Nation is doing to academics.
• 3:49:31
  [UNKNOWN]: So that's why the beef is there.
• 3:49:33
  [UNKNOWN]: But once again, it's nothing burger.
• 3:49:34
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't think it's that big of a deal.
• 3:49:36
  [UNKNOWN]: I think basically it's just how the game goes.
• 3:49:37
  [UNKNOWN]: It's not like their lifelong friends, like their industry friends, which is way different.
• 3:49:48
  [UNKNOWN]: Not set up academics in the best light possible.
• 3:49:50
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, he literally told him to leave everyday struggle, which is the best hip-hop show of all time, and now listen to that right here.
• 3:49:57
  [UNKNOWN]: Oh, hard broken bro.
• 3:49:59
  [UNKNOWN]: Soldier.
• 3:50:00
  [UNKNOWN]: Soldier mad at me.
• 3:50:01
  [UNKNOWN]: This man's soldier mad at me.
• 3:50:03
  [UNKNOWN]: He could have told me.
• 3:50:05
  [UNKNOWN]: I thought he was my friend.
• 3:50:07
  [UNKNOWN]: You could have told me.
• 3:50:08
  [UNKNOWN]: He could have told me like your bro.
• 3:50:09
  [UNKNOWN]: But then you know what I'm saying?
• 3:50:10
  [UNKNOWN]: I was like, do you want to look at the state of hip-hop?
• 3:50:12
  [UNKNOWN]: Like what's going on?
• 3:50:14
  [UNKNOWN]: This man's soldier mad at me.
• 3:50:15
  [UNKNOWN]: I can't you know.
• 3:50:17
  [UNKNOWN]: Alright, let's try to move on, man.
• 3:50:19
  [UNKNOWN]: He does not move on, ladies and gentlemen.
• 3:50:20
  [UNKNOWN]: Let's just skip to the point where he's- Yeah, this game is really fucked up, man.
• 3:50:23
  [UNKNOWN]: Well, I'm gonna give you some real shit.
• 3:50:26
  [UNKNOWN]: I was doing, I was doing every day's struggle with Joe Bunn.
• 3:50:29
  [UNKNOWN]: Joe Bunn, you know, like, keep, like, there's a time he wilden out on the ship that blah, blah, blah, like, you know, like, the show was a little bit kind of, like, more in his favorite first, because like, I think there's looked at me the air in that guy, like, even just like the staff or whatever, like, eventually shots, you know, shot to the chat, and he's like, I think, yeah, I got on the ass, even though.
• 3:50:47
  [UNKNOWN]: And I go along like I remember I was just like I was always like figuring out like your damn was it the right idea that did the show remember show me and call me one time and as the industry veteran and someone who I looked up to is an idol of media goat I remember show me said to me it's like your act this is how you handle that shit I said how do I handle it now keep in mind we're mad viral on even though like
• 3:51:07
  [UNKNOWN]: It's, you know, because it's a little bit out of my comfort zone because like you know, it's a little bit more self-deprecating than I normally Were used to don't drink his not good for you He said he said go into moral and this would you do?
• 3:51:24
  [UNKNOWN]: Walk off that bitch quit on air So yes, you know, when you deal with Joe nigga quit on air nigga like they're niggas gonna have to respect like I'm like
• 3:51:39
  [UNKNOWN]: He didn't end up doing that, but obviously, um, just supporting perspectives on how Charlotte mains the Hall of Fame gas lighter, who do you think it would have benefited?
• 3:51:50
  [UNKNOWN]: If the greatest hip hop show lost half of his co-star or half of his star power, I wonder what other hip hop show would have benefited from every day's struggle losing academics?
• 3:52:03
  [UNKNOWN]: So when Charlemagne gives advice, it's very capitalistic, and he's a Hall of Fame Gaslight.
• 3:52:08
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, he's really a one-on-one.
• 3:52:09
  [UNKNOWN]: Like, you listen to Charlemagne.
• 3:52:10
  [UNKNOWN]: He'd be like, wow, the sky really is like red sometimes.
• 3:52:15
  [UNKNOWN]: Like, you go outside, it's Charlemagne would be like, nah, you really got to look at the hue, right?
• 3:52:20
  [UNKNOWN]: People think it's blue, but it's really red.
• 3:52:21
  [UNKNOWN]: You think to yourself, wow, he's really spinning.
• 3:52:23
  [UNKNOWN]: You know what I'm saying?
• 3:52:26
  [UNKNOWN]: He just a Hall of Fame Gaslighter.
• 3:52:27
  [UNKNOWN]: So I think once you know that about Charlemagne, it comes across as,
• 3:52:32
  [UNKNOWN]: He's just being him.
• 3:52:34
  [UNKNOWN]: He just automatically being him.
• 3:52:35
  [UNKNOWN]: He's just a huge, capitalistic type of figure in this industry.
• 3:52:41
  [UNKNOWN]: And it's nothing wrong with that, especially, if you're not actually friends.
• 3:52:45
  [UNKNOWN]: Like if you was actually friends, it would be a lot wrong with that.
• 3:52:48
  [UNKNOWN]: But the reason, you know, going back to the go.
• 3:52:50
  [UNKNOWN]: Is it okay, I got my dope on me?
• 3:52:52
  [UNKNOWN]: The reason why the go says there's no it friends in the industry is because everybody's trying to capitalize for their own game.
• 3:52:58
  [UNKNOWN]: And when it comes to this very dramatic,
• 3:53:01
  [UNKNOWN]: Charlemagne and academics beef is not as big of a deal as people want to make it out to be because at the end of day is a power struggle between who's the most influential over the black community is academics ecosystem or is it Charlemagne's camp and I think people were finding out that academics is very influential even with
• 3:53:24
  [UNKNOWN]: A lot of people who are not under like academic CV is obviously like academics right there's a lot of content creators under academics that
• 3:53:32
  [UNKNOWN]: Basically, I'm very heavily influenced by him.
• 3:53:35
  [UNKNOWN]: Now, of course, I watch academics all the time.
• 3:53:37
  [UNKNOWN]: But for me, I'm not the influence, because I'm going to skip all the topics of him like talking about crime or him talking about black men and ganglocked up, which is about like 60% of all his dreams.
• 3:53:48
  [UNKNOWN]: So I'm skipping through a lot, right?
• 3:53:50
  [UNKNOWN]: But some people sit through all that and you know, eat up everything he's saying, post and then realize,
• 3:53:55
  [UNKNOWN]: That you didn't realize that they're regurgitating that or they're acting in the same line as academics because you know academics is a Trump approach from guy right is not political podcast, but basically one could see how Trump's son sitting down with academics is because maybe they saw some in the background as far as
• 3:54:15
  [UNKNOWN]: how academics was influenced in the election, right?
• 3:54:18
  [UNKNOWN]: And it sounds crazy.
• 3:54:19
  [UNKNOWN]: And to realize that Trump's son actually did sit down with academics.
• 3:54:22
  [UNKNOWN]: And of course, Trump has actual picture with academics.
• 3:54:26
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't want to see if I can find that right.
• 3:54:27
  [UNKNOWN]: I just want to put in perspective how influenced your academics is because a lot of people get a misconstrued because he's drunk 24-7 and talking, very slow that he's not like one of the most brilliant minds we have in hip-hop right now.
• 3:54:41
  [UNKNOWN]: But I think
• 3:54:44
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, here we go.
• 3:54:44
  [UNKNOWN]: I swear this is not.
• 3:54:45
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I know he looks completely orange.
• 3:54:47
  [UNKNOWN]: I swear this is not.
• 3:54:48
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, this is a real picture.
• 3:54:49
  [UNKNOWN]: Ladies and gentlemen So this is just happened randomly.
• 3:54:52
  [UNKNOWN]: This is a whole steak deal They put them right next to Trump and of course Trump was like they was talking
• 3:54:59
  [UNKNOWN]: And when academics and Trump was talking, I could then be said that Trump was like, because academics brought up ASAP Rocky, like, thank you for free and ASAP Rocky, back when they happened, right?
• 3:55:09
  [UNKNOWN]: And Trump was like, yeah, I did that or whatever.
• 3:55:10
  [UNKNOWN]: So, they had like a whole conversation with them about that.
• 3:55:13
  [UNKNOWN]: So, it's bigger.
• 3:55:15
  [UNKNOWN]: Now, a lot of people think because they're focused on our Charlotte main in academics.
• 3:55:20
  [UNKNOWN]: So I don't want to keep being a dead horse.
• 3:55:21
  [UNKNOWN]: This is basically, probably the last time I'm going to talk about this, because I don't think anything's going to actually happen when it comes to their back and forth.
• 3:55:27
  [UNKNOWN]: I just wanted to wait and actually give a totality, like an overall bird's eye view from people from a person who is heavily into the know in the know about the academics, content in the Charlotte main content.
• 3:55:45
  [UNKNOWN]: So, as far as the other stuff as far as whack 100, I mean, that man needs Jesus, you know what I'm saying?
• 3:55:50
  [UNKNOWN]: But then you know what I'm saying?
• 3:55:52
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, the thing he's doing, I mean, it just really, it doesn't make too much sense, especially when he relies.
• 3:55:56
  [UNKNOWN]: Sheldon Man has a whole family when doing certain tactics, I think it's just, it crosses a lot of boundaries to the point where, uh,
• 3:56:04
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I don't think whack in the shawl of man, wherever, men there be.
• 3:56:07
  [UNKNOWN]: Back at that mix is not really going as hard as he could be, because he could be doing what whack is doing, but he's not.
• 3:56:14
  [UNKNOWN]: So, honestly, was there anything else?
• 3:56:16
  [UNKNOWN]: I think it was basically the bedding stuff I wanted to cover that cause, you know, for some reason, people don't understand that AI and gambling is some of the biggest, well, AI's more beneficial than not beneficial, which is saying the like, gambling on the other hand,
• 3:56:34
  [UNKNOWN]: The jury still out on it, but I think it's very detrimental to society as a whole.
• 3:56:39
  [UNKNOWN]: I know people who've lost their whole livelihood because of gambling, and in our gamble, once a year, hopefully like a yearly tradition, play my little blackjack and I get out of there.
• 3:56:49
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm saying, but...
• 3:56:51
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm very late for Google.
• 3:56:52
  [UNKNOWN]: So, you know, gambling a lot has never been my cup of tea, but I think that was basically, let me see, okay, definition, okay, yeah, and then we talked about, trying to make sure I cover everything.
• 3:57:02
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm not covering this again.
• 3:57:03
  [UNKNOWN]: Sholomea versus academics is not something that I want to see.
• 3:57:06
  [UNKNOWN]: I think there will be
• 3:57:08
  [UNKNOWN]: much better together than a part.
• 3:57:10
  [UNKNOWN]: It reminds me of when Joe Button and Shawlamaine was going back and forth, and that holds the buckle was because Shawlamaine was just straight up once again, gaslighting Joe when he was trying to get his Spotify deal.
• 3:57:21
  [UNKNOWN]: If for some reason Shawlamaine was just bringing up, hey man, why do you think you're worth that much?
• 3:57:25
  [UNKNOWN]: Nobody should think that worth that much, like me, you bigger than the system.
• 3:57:30
  [UNKNOWN]: Wow.
• 3:57:31
  [UNKNOWN]: Meanwhile.
• 3:57:32
  [UNKNOWN]: Joe Bud is out here like actually negotiate and trying to get a new deal from Spotify.
• 3:57:36
  [UNKNOWN]: So it's all the main came back around and apologize for that.
• 3:57:38
  [UNKNOWN]: But that's what I'm talking about.
• 3:57:41
  [UNKNOWN]: Shalom and we'll gas like you and then you'll be thinking, wow, he's really on my side.
• 3:57:45
  [UNKNOWN]: You come and figure out he wasn't.
• 3:57:47
  [UNKNOWN]: So that's why he used one that had to apologize to that.
• 3:57:49
  [UNKNOWN]: Shalom and Joe Bud and beef.
• 3:57:51
  [UNKNOWN]: So he would say that.
• 3:57:52
  [UNKNOWN]: I think he did say that before.
• 3:57:55
  [UNKNOWN]: Let me see.
• 3:57:56
  [UNKNOWN]: So.
• 3:57:57
  [UNKNOWN]: At the end of day, when it comes to academics TV, as far as George win, and the way that Leonard went at him, well, Charlie made went at him.
• 3:58:08
  [UNKNOWN]: I believe that's the biggest beef, because even Joe Biden has beef where academics TV.
• 3:58:12
  [UNKNOWN]: For some reason, academics TV goes very hard at individuals that
• 3:58:19
  [UNKNOWN]: It's not necessarily oppositions of academics, so I'm always confused by that.
• 3:58:24
  [UNKNOWN]: Like, the way they go at Megan, the way they go at JZ okay, that may make sense.
• 3:58:27
  [UNKNOWN]: But the way they go at Charlemagne and Joe Biden, who could be helping, back at Denver's brand.
• 3:58:35
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't know why academics TV go so hard at Joe Biden or at Charlemagne.
• 3:58:39
  [UNKNOWN]: But, no, no, actually, I just stand on Charlemagne at this point in time.
• 3:58:43
  [UNKNOWN]: But back then, he goes pretty hard at people in them.
• 3:58:46
  [UNKNOWN]: I think those, those type of accounts, they just have certain repercussions.
• 3:58:50
  [UNKNOWN]: And I think we're just seeing it coming to fruition.
• 3:58:51
  [UNKNOWN]: And that's like the third layer.
• 3:58:53
  [UNKNOWN]: You know, maybe it's lighter.
• 3:58:54
  [UNKNOWN]: So, so, so hopefully I'll like my three layer breakdown of academics or of livingston versus Leonardo, more commonly referred to as DJ Academics versus Charlemagne.
• 3:59:08
  [UNKNOWN]: Click my links here in my bio to follow me on my social media.
• 3:59:10
  [UNKNOWN]: And of course, if you're on Spotify, if you've been keeping up with this show, I'm in the academics beef.
• 3:59:16
  [UNKNOWN]: And you want anything answered, because of course, I've been not watching you guys a lot.
• 3:59:20
  [UNKNOWN]: So I could probably answer anything in the comment section.
• 3:59:23
  [UNKNOWN]: What do you want to know about the beef that is not clear to you?
• 3:59:26
  [UNKNOWN]: And also, what is your biggest takeaway from the show I'm in academics beef?
• 3:59:32
  [UNKNOWN]: Shepherd.
• 3:59:33
  [UNKNOWN]: Oh, my fault.
• 3:59:35
  [UNKNOWN]: We on camera.
• 3:59:38
  [UNKNOWN]: My fault.
• 3:59:41
  [UNKNOWN]: My fault, man.
• 3:59:43
  [UNKNOWN]: You know what I'm saying?
• 3:59:44
  [UNKNOWN]: I'll try to figure out how you're catching me in 4K.
• 3:59:47
  [UNKNOWN]: No, I'm just saying like obviously, I see you come on, man.
• 3:59:50
  [UNKNOWN]: No, maybe take it off.
• 3:59:51
  [UNKNOWN]: Thanks, come on now.
• 3:59:52
  [UNKNOWN]: I can't even take it off.
• 3:59:52
  [UNKNOWN]: I got my headphones on.
• 3:59:53
  [UNKNOWN]: Actually, man, get me a second, man.
• 3:59:55
  [UNKNOWN]: You know, give me a second.
• 4:00:00
  [UNKNOWN]: I draw catch me in 4K bro, that's so crazy, you know what I'm saying?
• 4:00:04
  [UNKNOWN]: I feel like who shines the right now, you know what I'm saying?
• 4:00:06
  [UNKNOWN]: I hate catch me in 4K with a dream-compringy and bad, you know what I'm saying?
• 4:00:11
  [UNKNOWN]: But come on man, you all see that, stop playing with me, stop playing with me, you know what I'm saying?
• 4:00:18
  [UNKNOWN]: What do you mean?
• 4:00:19
  [UNKNOWN]: But they told me, no, they told me I'm not for it though.
• 4:00:21
  [UNKNOWN]: You know what I mean?
• 4:00:22
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't know how they cut.
• 4:00:23
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't know how y'all caught me in 4k on some pooch I see type B, you know what I'm saying?
• 4:00:27
  [UNKNOWN]: It's not like, you know, I have the evidence on video.
• 4:00:29
  [UNKNOWN]: You feel me, you know what I'm saying?
• 4:00:31
  [UNKNOWN]: I have my phone.
• 4:00:32
  [UNKNOWN]: Ladies and gentlemen, let's get into the overview as far as the roundup of episode 162.
• 4:00:40
  [UNKNOWN]: Which of course is titled, no disc.
• 4:00:46
  [UNKNOWN]: Higher prices, more firing, it's 2026, the year gamers finally take a stand.
• 4:00:56
  [UNKNOWN]: Shepard.
• 4:00:56
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm saying.
• 4:00:57
  [UNKNOWN]: Just look at the state of gaming, like, what is going on?
• 4:01:00
  [UNKNOWN]: And of course before we get into the other shameless plugs, you know we have to talk about the overview of 162.
• 4:01:06
  [UNKNOWN]: So at that be it's say, you know we had to start with the lovely Olivia Rodrigo.
• 4:01:11
  [UNKNOWN]: As not only did she, unfortunately, take over my go, as far as the thrown in Drake for 2026 is biggest solo debut with 470,000.
• 4:01:23
  [UNKNOWN]: First week, even this, that wasn't saying.
• 4:01:27
  [UNKNOWN]: But of course, as of right now, I mean, she's still circulating all over the charts as when you look at her album specifically, her album, you seem pretty sad for her girl.
• 4:01:37
  [UNKNOWN]: So I love, it's still the second most play album.
• 4:01:39
  [UNKNOWN]: And it's second week, I believe, second or third week.
• 4:01:41
  [UNKNOWN]: And then, of course, when you look at the single, she has in the top 100.
• 4:01:46
  [UNKNOWN]: She has a whopping 16 tracks in the top 100.
• 4:01:54
  [UNKNOWN]: So, when we're talking about Olivia Rodriguez, safe to say what her album she definitely had in the story, it's Mass Effect, which is why she graced the cover of episode 162, and is why we had to start with her as when it comes to Olivia Rodriguez, as you heard with my cover, she is just definitely showcasing in the music industry that women, especially when it comes to physical copies in the pop lane, it's just straight up dominating.
• 4:02:21
  [UNKNOWN]: And of course, that's not it ladies and gentlemen.
• 4:02:24
  [UNKNOWN]: As we transition into the one and only I mean, we transition into the one and only.
• 4:02:31
  [UNKNOWN]: All right, let me get to it.
• 4:02:32
  [UNKNOWN]: Basically, ladies and gentlemen, we had to talk about young Miami.
• 4:02:35
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I catch you.
• 4:02:36
  [UNKNOWN]: Not
• 4:02:37
  [UNKNOWN]: Don't blame me, blame the masses, over here we get to the gaming and music copies that notoriously affect the masses and say to say spend that definitely did that as currently is still one of the most play tracks in the world, one of the highest charting hip-hop tracks and not even just to put a hip-hop label on it, one of the highest charts tracks in the world as far as charting as it's currently the 19th most play track in the world and sangro.
• 4:03:07
  [UNKNOWN]: You know, if you're really wanting to have a real conversation about the state of hip-hop, I ain't going to do it, but you know, Miami told you to spend that, and let's just say all the youth is influenced by that.
• 4:03:18
  [UNKNOWN]: So, whatever you say, then we move transition, and so she care and burn the boys.
• 4:03:22
  [UNKNOWN]: You already know we had to have some World Cup coverage, because you know, we cover all genres, so why not cover one of the biggest sports, as far as overseas, which is football, you know?
• 4:03:32
  [UNKNOWN]: that we Americans call soccer but it's really powerful ball which you know they actually use the feet as far as kicking the ball so you know it's very interesting how football just overtook that name but anyways well American football so what that not the way she care about her boys doing fantastic on the charts they're doing
• 4:03:49
  [UNKNOWN]: Let me see.
• 4:03:49
  [UNKNOWN]: I think when with their tracks specifically the day they track the FIFA World Cup official song is currently the 67th most played track in the world.
• 4:03:57
  [UNKNOWN]: And when it comes to FIFA, I think it was the highest charting track I believe.
• 4:04:00
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, that only track from the FIFA soundtrack that's actually charting in the top 100.
• 4:04:06
  [UNKNOWN]: So shout out to the Shakira and Burner Boy for that.
• 4:04:11
  [UNKNOWN]: And of course, then we went into L.E.
• 4:04:15
  [UNKNOWN]: Seraphim, which of course, you'll probably say to yourself,
• 4:04:21
  [UNKNOWN]: If I create pop connoisseurs, you already know who this group is, as they've definitely been one of the more dominant music figures on YouTube specifically, that is why we got into iconic by mistake, and that is why we got into give me that love, which safe to say, YouTube connoisseurs are definitely giving them a lot of love when it comes to their standards, and when it comes to the next artist, ladies and gentlemen,
• 4:04:48
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm not gonna lie, he may be the most influential rapper ever.
• 4:04:54
  [UNKNOWN]: If you stay in a hip-hop like what's going on?
• 4:04:55
  [UNKNOWN]: As of course you know we had to dive into future injuries as even though his album has it came out yet we had to talk about his single, the real, the album, the real me and his single radio but you know ironically the chorus is talking about not being for the radio which you know I wonder where he got that idea from you know let me stop starting stuff you know that's the problem with people nowadays you know me you know
• 4:05:24
  [UNKNOWN]: As far as saying it's not for the radio it's not the drink have a track called too hard for the radio Shepherd I'm a fall let me stop here messy anyway, so that being said and we transition into the goat ladies and gentlemen
• 4:05:41
  [UNKNOWN]: Obviously, it was okay that Drake had his dope on him because not only did he notoriously affect the masses with his album Ice Man, but of course when it comes to the plethora of records he broke with this episode, we got into another record he broke as far as tying a deal for the ninth most weeks at number one in Billboard 200 history.
• 4:06:01
  [UNKNOWN]: the state of hip-hop like what's going on?
• 4:06:03
  [UNKNOWN]: And of course Drake still, I mean still, has a top five album as Iceman is what, six, seventh week, I mean, who's keeping counted this point?
• 4:06:12
  [UNKNOWN]: It's still the fourth most played project in the world, definitely putting on for hip-hop.
• 4:06:16
  [UNKNOWN]: That another hip-hop artist that is supposedly in a top three should have been doing, but that's a whole another discussion for another day.
• 4:06:23
  [UNKNOWN]: So what that being said, no need to get into German.
• 4:06:25
  [UNKNOWN]: Here I'm saying let's keep him out of the light.
• 4:06:27
  [UNKNOWN]: So when it comes to Drake's singles,
• 4:06:29
  [UNKNOWN]: Obviously, his track ran to Atlanta still the 38th most play track in the world.
• 4:06:33
  [UNKNOWN]: You have bees on the table, so the 91st most play track in the world.
• 4:06:37
  [UNKNOWN]: You have, I'm spin, feature low shimmy that still the hundreds most play track in the world.
• 4:06:43
  [UNKNOWN]: So it's definitely holding on.
• 4:06:44
  [UNKNOWN]: And I thought Jan is ST of you is up here.
• 4:06:46
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I don't know why I didn't pop up for that.
• 4:06:48
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, we talked this in again.
• 4:06:49
  [UNKNOWN]: And of course, Jan is, oh, my fall is a, I'm so disrespectful.
• 4:06:54
  [UNKNOWN]: I use quick slershane only brought up three whole time to stand.
• 4:06:57
  [UNKNOWN]: Come on now, they trippin'.
• 4:07:00
  [UNKNOWN]: So Drake still has 10 tracks in the top 100, and of course, Jan is STFU is the fourth most play track in the world.
• 4:07:06
  [UNKNOWN]: She bangs the 23rd, ran to Atlanta, is 38, too hard for the radio, which, hmm, what a future.
• 4:07:13
  [UNKNOWN]: Anyways, 50 is the most play track in the world.
• 4:07:16
  [UNKNOWN]: Then you have Whisper, my name, 56, most play track in the world.
• 4:07:20
  [UNKNOWN]: National Treasure 64th, most play track in the world.
• 4:07:22
  [UNKNOWN]: Plot twist, 89th, most play track in the world, B's on a table 91st.
• 4:07:28
  [UNKNOWN]: And then we have I'm spitting on we have what did I miss it as the 98th and then I'm spent as the hundred so when you look at Drake and totality safe to say there's really no other rapper doing it like Jersey Drake is it okay, I got my dope on me and of course, I said,
• 4:07:45
  [UNKNOWN]: we obviously ended off the music portion in the best way possible talking about the go Drake.
• 4:07:51
  [UNKNOWN]: So when it comes to industry news, safe to say ladies and gentlemen, this is where it took a turn for the worse.
• 4:07:56
  [UNKNOWN]: Shepherd, just look at the state of gaming.
• 4:07:59
  [UNKNOWN]: Like, what is going on?
• 4:08:00
  [UNKNOWN]: As ladies and gentlemen, I just want you to listen closely.
• 4:08:04
  [UNKNOWN]: We're in the end game now.
• 4:08:05
  [UNKNOWN]: Shepard.
• 4:08:06
  [UNKNOWN]: Now you know I'm not trying to be dramatic.
• 4:08:08
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm just letting you all know we are in the end game now.
• 4:08:10
  [UNKNOWN]: When it comes to the actual gaming connoisseurs, just know.
• 4:08:15
  [UNKNOWN]: The corporations looking at you right now, and asking you, what you going to do about it?
• 4:08:22
  [UNKNOWN]: You guy.
• 4:08:23
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm saying.
• 4:08:24
  [UNKNOWN]: See that's the problem.
• 4:08:25
  [UNKNOWN]: PlayStation, Microsoft, even Steam, which broke my heart.
• 4:08:34
  [UNKNOWN]: all these anti-consumer practices and they're asking you boldly to your face.
• 4:08:40
  [UNKNOWN]: What are you going to do about it?
• 4:08:41
  [UNKNOWN]: And that is why they grace the cover of the gaming section as you can see right here.
• 4:08:44
  [UNKNOWN]: Let me take myself away so you can see the full thing.
• 4:08:46
  [UNKNOWN]: I feel like I did a pretty good job on a cover.
• 4:08:48
  [UNKNOWN]: If I do say so, my soul, now it's too crazy.
• 4:08:52
  [UNKNOWN]: You know, very transparent over here, you know, it's as far as the advanced prompt jobs out there.
• 4:08:57
  [UNKNOWN]: I made you boy made you need to be hired.
• 4:08:59
  [UNKNOWN]: No cut.
• 4:09:02
  [UNKNOWN]: So with that being said, um,
• 4:09:05
  [UNKNOWN]: A lot of industry news we got into with this specific industry news as far as steam machine price being reviewed out of date hardware as far as it barely being on the same liver as the PS5 and still being more expensive than it without the controller.
• 4:09:18
  [UNKNOWN]: Thousands plus without the controller and of course I got to the specific prices in that specific segment but out of date hardware costing over a thousand dollars I mean what world are we living in?
• 4:09:30
  [UNKNOWN]: safe to say is this one.
• 4:09:32
  [UNKNOWN]: So then we transition into the plethora of Xbox news that just percolated throughout the headlines as you already know.
• 4:09:40
  [UNKNOWN]: When you look at Microsoft specifically, they're looking at Xbox and they're basically saying, I don't care about any consumer you have.
• 4:09:47
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't care about any employee you have.
• 4:09:50
  [UNKNOWN]: Find the way to increase our bottom line, the latest in gentleman.
• 4:09:53
  [UNKNOWN]: That's exactly what Xbox did.
• 4:09:55
  [UNKNOWN]: That's exactly what
• 4:09:59
  [UNKNOWN]: what is going on as Xbox laid off 32 hundred workers 3,200 to be you know just to be dramatic Microsoft raised the prices for the Xbox at third time at 13 months you know somebody got to Xbox that Sony currently has 70 plus percent of the console market share who in
• 4:10:28
  [UNKNOWN]: So even though Xbox is losing horrendously to a PlayStation ecosystem as far as the console war as far as the market share, which I don't have a dog in a race I'm just stating the objective facts.
• 4:10:38
  [UNKNOWN]: They still thought that raising the prices and also laying off 30, 200 of the workers was a good idea.
• 4:10:45
  [UNKNOWN]: So that is why they definitely grace the cover because if you don't know, this is the single.
• 4:10:50
  [UNKNOWN]: This is the biggest single layoff in gaming history, so that is why I wanted to pinpoint Xbox specifically for this episode as what they just did is very, it's just very detrimental to the future game developers out there that want to get to this industry.
• 4:11:07
  [UNKNOWN]: Let's just put it like that.
• 4:11:08
  [UNKNOWN]: So,
• 4:11:09
  [UNKNOWN]: Of course, along with the title, as far as Xbox is doing her renders, anti-consumer practices, PlayStation 1 to join them.
• 4:11:15
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm not saying they said, hold my beer, but they said something.
• 4:11:17
  [UNKNOWN]: They said, hold myself here, as PlayStation ended up ending physical disc production.
• 4:11:22
  [UNKNOWN]: I wasn't an actual.
• 4:11:23
  [UNKNOWN]: But then you know what I'm saying?
• 4:11:24
  [UNKNOWN]: I was like, do you know what I'm saying?
• 4:11:25
  [UNKNOWN]: They said, all you collect is out there.
• 4:11:27
  [UNKNOWN]: One more time.
• 4:11:30
  [UNKNOWN]: What you're going to do about it?
• 4:11:31
  [UNKNOWN]: You guys, that's the whole theme of this episode.
• 4:11:35
  [UNKNOWN]: What are you going to do about it?
• 4:11:39
  [UNKNOWN]: You know, I'm saying they're looking at the sales, saying to themselves.
• 4:11:43
  [UNKNOWN]: If they don't want to buy a PlayStation anymore, because we're in physical disc in January, 20, 28, and we beat evil, we beat them, we go full.
• 4:11:56
  [UNKNOWN]: Xbox is literally, well, PlayStation is literally telling you to your face.
• 4:12:00
  [UNKNOWN]: What are you going to do about it's ending in physical disc?
• 4:12:02
  [UNKNOWN]: And I think just
• 4:12:04
  [UNKNOWN]: It just might be the right amount of anti-consumer practices to make group economics a real thing in the gaming industry.
• 4:12:10
  [UNKNOWN]: But who knows?
• 4:12:11
  [UNKNOWN]: Who knows?
• 4:12:12
  [UNKNOWN]: So, like I said, industry news was beyond depressing.
• 4:12:15
  [UNKNOWN]: All that that was encapsulated in the industry news section for the episode.
• 4:12:19
  [UNKNOWN]: What that being said.
• 4:12:21
  [UNKNOWN]: then of course you got to we went over to the game so of course we covered make a chameleon of course you got into task bar heroes of course you talked about khanami's power pro baseball for uh twenty twenty six to twenty twenty seven and then of course as you know I had to put respect on a mobile game and community you know I'm saying but I just just get
• 4:12:42
  [UNKNOWN]: Anyway, so obviously I gave y'all praise right you know, I've really put heavy emphasis on how much the mobile gaming community helps out just the gaming industry as a whole and I don't know if he would just don't report on it, but I haven't seen through all my research layoffs and anti-consumer practices like this in a mobile game and community and it may be because of the micro transactions, but to be fair
• 4:13:06
  [UNKNOWN]: We're not seeing the amount of layoffs in price increases, like we are for console and valve type products.
• 4:13:13
  [UNKNOWN]: So with the mobile community, it seems like they're being treated pretty well aside from the micro transactions because that's really just a will problem.
• 4:13:21
  [UNKNOWN]: As far as a will means like the few people, the minority who bought a whole ton of, like they bought so much cosmetics,
• 4:13:30
  [UNKNOWN]: Perks, et cetera, and they pay so much money.
• 4:13:32
  [UNKNOWN]: Those, that's what they call whales, you know, and that's, he's so, anyways, um, yeah, we talked about Gossip Harbor is one of the biggest games in the world, which we covered in the segment.
• 4:13:41
  [UNKNOWN]: And of course, at the beginning of the episode.
• 4:13:43
  [UNKNOWN]: And of course, you know, we couldn't end off the gaming portion without getting into some superhero talk as you already know it.
• 4:13:52
  [UNKNOWN]: Come on, man.
• 4:13:54
  [UNKNOWN]: I if y'all don't know that's actually my more of a rival's drop.
• 4:13:57
  [UNKNOWN]: So the reason why I played that is because we got into more of a rival season 9 and when I tell you the devs are cooking Let's just say they are showcasing why more of a rivals just may be one of the greatest games of all time.
• 4:14:12
  [UNKNOWN]: I kid you're not
• 4:14:14
  [UNKNOWN]: That may be an exaggeration to some people, but the way that the net-eaves, devs, who came out and just completely, overhauled the entire gameplay mechanics.
• 4:14:24
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, that's a mammoth of a risk and they have one of the biggest games of all time already currently.
• 4:14:30
  [UNKNOWN]: So they are taking huge, huge, humongous risk and I think they're going to be rewarded because of course,
• 4:14:37
  [UNKNOWN]: even if it does fail, it's just the fact that you're not complacent with being one of the best games of it.
• 4:14:43
  [UNKNOWN]: You're still improving it to the point where you're throwing a whole overhaul to the point where you could basically call this Marvel rivals too, which is why we talked about it in this episode.
• 4:14:52
  [UNKNOWN]: And of course, you know we had to end with one of my biggest inspirations.
• 4:14:56
  [UNKNOWN]: I just don't like it when I just don't like to subject.
• 4:14:58
  [UNKNOWN]: I just don't like that shit.
• 4:14:59
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't like to subject matter at all because Leonardo, aka Charlotte Maine, and Livingston, aka academics, they are currently beef and ladies and gentlemen, and that's just the sad day of history.
• 4:15:09
  [UNKNOWN]: But then you know what I'm saying?
• 4:15:10
  [UNKNOWN]: I was like, damn, look at the state of hip-hop.
• 4:15:12
  [UNKNOWN]: Like, what's going on?
• 4:15:13
  [UNKNOWN]: Now apparently, apparently, by the time this comes out, they may have put out their interview, because you're set to do it in a few face-to-face, right?
• 4:15:24
  [UNKNOWN]: So if this comes out before, no, if this comes out after the end of you, just know, that is why I wasn't in a segment because as I'm being recorded, this is July 8th, 2026, for people watching this in the future wondering why I didn't update the academics versus Charlotte Bay.
• 4:15:39
  [UNKNOWN]: Academics said they are set to sit down this week literally this week, so I don't know about y'all But this is Wednesday, so you know, you know and you got so many days left in the week unless you know somebody was lying But we're gonna see if they actually sit down face to face and hash out their differences So that's why I wanted to end with that As people love the drama portion of that episode so that was one of the Paul's one of the juiciest drama things going on in hip hop and she's a sad day in history man
• 4:16:07
  [UNKNOWN]: I just don't like that shit man so that being said of course that was it for I said that was it like it wasn't you know we had a pretty successful show if I do say so myself
• 4:16:17
  [UNKNOWN]: We covered a lot of gaming and music industry talks, and of course I think I accurately reflected the gaming and music I pieced out here notoriously affected the masses.
• 4:16:27
  [UNKNOWN]: And if you notice, this is the first time in a while, a video game didn't cover the gaming sector of the episode, and that's because of the mammoth amount of anti-consumer practices going on and Xbox having the largest.
• 4:16:42
  [UNKNOWN]: Layoffs and gaming history, which is why they had to be the cover along with other things.
• 4:16:45
  [UNKNOWN]: You know, as far as Val, as far as Val, as far as PlayStation, and a little dreams video on Spotify to see the video along with the audio.
• 4:16:53
  [UNKNOWN]: But when it comes to the actual state of the gaming industry, they had to grace the cover, because this is just egregious.
• 4:16:59
  [UNKNOWN]: Y'all took task bar hero slot.
• 4:17:03
  [UNKNOWN]: How do you feel about the Xbox?
• 4:17:05
  [UNKNOWN]: How do you feel about that PlayStation?
• 4:17:08
  [UNKNOWN]: and last but definitely not least because it hurts my heart.
• 4:17:11
  [UNKNOWN]: How do you feel about that valve?
• 4:17:13
  [UNKNOWN]: Shepard.
• 4:17:13
  [UNKNOWN]: And I'm sorry.
• 4:17:14
  [UNKNOWN]: Just look at the state of gaming, like what is going on?
• 4:17:17
  [UNKNOWN]: Hold time, I was ready to put task bar heroes as the cover of the gaming portion of episode 162, but the anti-consumer practices had just gotten out of hand, and that's why I had to grace a game of portion for 162.
• 4:17:32
  [UNKNOWN]: But when it comes to the entirety of 162, you already know,
• 4:17:36
  [UNKNOWN]: As far as the shameless plugs you already, you know, I don't know if you I could really see it, you know, I did I catch it on video or did I I mean
• 4:17:50
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, I don't know if the cam is 4K, but you know, I think it's pretty close, you know what I'm saying?
• 4:17:54
  [UNKNOWN]: All right, my phone, basically, I was just showing off my dream combat from some more, you know what I mean?
• 4:17:57
  [UNKNOWN]: You're probably gonna be as soon as this episode drops, just know, I'm already in Houston, having a blast.
• 4:18:05
  [UNKNOWN]: I kid you're not.
• 4:18:06
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't even know why I played that drop.
• 4:18:09
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't even know why I played that drop.
• 4:18:11
  [UNKNOWN]: Definitely make sure to rate this five stars, and you know, let's just say, we'll have a blast, man.
• 4:18:18
  [UNKNOWN]: Let's just see, let's go be a blast.
• 4:18:21
  [UNKNOWN]: So anyways, I will be in DreamCon as you already know the Florida vlog.
• 4:18:25
  [UNKNOWN]: Yes, ladies and gentlemen, the Florida vlog is now out on I was about to say whatever platform, but Spotify specifically and a little dreams video on Spotify as you can see right here.
• 4:18:37
  [UNKNOWN]: This is the cover of the vlog and of course when it comes to that when it comes to the cover the vlog you already know that this is what you can type in to pull it up obviously it's for the enemy plus subscribers that my subscribers my scribblers out there so for all my scribblers just know this specifically Let me make sure this is on there yeah
• 4:18:57
  [UNKNOWN]: This specifically entails a lot of things outside of me covering the entire gaming and music industry, which is why I call it enemy plus as for one.
• 4:19:05
  [UNKNOWN]: Of course, we have the fitness slash lifestyle show that I'm calling the biggest loser and the litigant dreams edition.
• 4:19:13
  [UNKNOWN]: But then you know what I'm saying?
• 4:19:14
  [UNKNOWN]: And then we have the trash wrapper.
• 4:19:18
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, the honorable wrapper that comes on it gives this gaming music.
• 4:19:22
  [UNKNOWN]: You know what I'm saying?
• 4:19:23
  [UNKNOWN]: So you could clip it up for that person.
• 4:19:26
  [UNKNOWN]: Anyways, and then of course, we have the massive fake legendary addition gameplay and we already finished not only massive fake one, but also massive fake two you film me, yeah, that's me Just look at the state of gaming.
• 4:19:37
  [UNKNOWN]: Come on now.
• 4:19:37
  [UNKNOWN]: Like what is going on?
• 4:19:39
  [UNKNOWN]: And then of course last with definitely now, Lee's I said last with definitely not least Yeah, like to build up
• 4:19:49
  [UNKNOWN]: We already have the Florida vlog as you can see right here.
• 4:19:53
  [UNKNOWN]: Last year, we had the sandbox VR slash arcade vlog with my homey little OT.
• 4:19:59
  [UNKNOWN]: And then of course, we had to use some vlog and dream con last year.
• 4:20:02
  [UNKNOWN]: So if you want to know what dream con vlog is going to be like, cause this year, I'm going with my cousin.
• 4:20:06
  [UNKNOWN]: So we're still going to have that two-man dynamic.
• 4:20:09
  [UNKNOWN]: But when it comes to the overall vlog, I think that would be a great indication on where you can actually.
• 4:20:16
  [UNKNOWN]: Actually, let me see if I can find it.
• 4:20:18
  [UNKNOWN]: That'd be a great indication of how this vlog is going to go because, of course, that was the actual setting we're going to be in for this year.
• 4:20:26
  [UNKNOWN]: And when this comes out, I'm already being that setting.
• 4:20:28
  [UNKNOWN]: So I do want to show you where you can watch to get ready for the next vlog, as I think is right here.
• 4:20:33
  [UNKNOWN]: Here we go.

• 4:20:39
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm saying give me some great show.
• 4:20:41
  [UNKNOWN]: So yeah, here we go.
• 4:20:43
  [UNKNOWN]: Okay, so when it comes to DreamCon, just know that this gives you a full representation of what the actual convention is probably going to look like.
• 4:20:52
  [UNKNOWN]: And here we go.
• 4:20:55
  [UNKNOWN]: And once again, a little bit of dreams video on Spotify to see the video along with the audio, as you can see, enemy plus presents.
• 4:21:02
  [UNKNOWN]: Dreamcon 2020 VLOG, Spotify exclusive video version.
• 4:21:08
  [UNKNOWN]: You know, you're boy, be working out here.

  [UNKNOWN]: And I'll only give you your Houston vlog.
• 4:21:20
  [UNKNOWN]: Not only that give you a Florida vlog,
• 4:21:24
  [UNKNOWN]: But of course, you know, when it comes to New York and you're going to brag, not I said I'm not going to brag.

  [UNKNOWN]: I'm not gonna say I got flown out, could you know that's that sound like, you know, some else.
• 4:21:39
  [UNKNOWN]: But let's just say New York treated me well, and that vlog is also up, and I would pull it up.
• 4:21:45
  [UNKNOWN]: But you know, it'd be taking me three business days to pull these things up.
• 4:21:48
  [UNKNOWN]: So I'm not, actually, I'm just gonna pull up this while I'm, I'm gonna pull up on Spotify creator because,
• 4:21:55
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, if I pull up my actual Spotify, for some reason, my thing starts blinking, you know, I'm 26 or 80, but I don't know why it does that.
• 4:22:02
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, so with that being said, let me just show you what you can type in to find this as well.

• 4:22:58
  [UNKNOWN]: Hopefully, make sure I don't leak it down, okay, here we go.
• 4:23:01
  [UNKNOWN]: So all you got to do is just type this in right here if you wanna watch the New York vlog, watch this, can you know your boy bit work and not too crazy?
• 4:23:07
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm the showcase in y'all.
• 4:23:09
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm the showcase in the y'all that,
• 4:23:12
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm just showcasing the y'all that when it comes to
• 4:23:18
  [UNKNOWN]: Content outside of me covering the entire gaming and music industry.
• 4:23:21
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm really out here trying to give you elevated content for the enemy plus as it's a whole package It's not just oh, I'm paying for one vlog.
• 4:23:29
  [UNKNOWN]: You're paying for a whole package of things whether it's the fitness of lifestyle show Whether it's the gamer music whether it's the massive fake legendary edition gameplay Well, there's the vlogs that I had a new York Houston Florida life prep VR establishment, et cetera
• 4:23:43
  [UNKNOWN]: safe to say your boys out here working and hopefully I appreciate it and of course for the people who's already subscribed.
• 4:23:49
  [UNKNOWN]: I can definitely tell you appreciate it from the bottom of my thumb for the bottom of my heart.
• 4:23:53
  [UNKNOWN]: You know what I'm saying?
• 4:23:55
  [UNKNOWN]: I said thank you.
• 4:23:55
  [UNKNOWN]: I say thank you.
• 4:23:57
  [UNKNOWN]: Thank you so much.
• 4:24:00
  [UNKNOWN]: So with the all the shame this plugs out the way the last thing I did when it get into was of course to merge as once again when I dropped this I will be in Houston so I'm not gonna say it's gonna be a long time before you see me because I'm recording this for a reason so that when it drops you have a lot of content to watch as home you know and you used to so I would have been said this is the way to of the merch you got to crazy starts from the tank top the light tank top you know don't ask me why is white is it okay I got my dough
• 4:24:30
  [UNKNOWN]: But just know it's right next to the big step routine, of course you already know what that means.
• 4:24:35
  [UNKNOWN]: stay in a hip-hop like what's going on now I'm not saying what size it may be I'm just saying you may be able to see it just click the top of my link tree in my body or not to create so this is wave two from the white tank top all the way up is wave two of enemy merch.
• 4:24:47
  [UNKNOWN]: This is wave one all the way down here with this desktop mass tank tops hoodie shirts, et cetera and of course when it comes to wave two as you can tell this one was more of my logos for analytic dreams and notorious mass effect
• 4:25:01
  [UNKNOWN]: Wave 2 was more eccentric around gaming and hip hop type topics, so that is why you see a lot of gaming and music type of merch and of course And this is my clip in channel merch, so but then with you know, obviously, it's not gaming.
• 4:25:15
  [UNKNOWN]: What is gaming in music, but it's for my clip in channel.
• 4:25:18
  [UNKNOWN]: So
• 4:25:20
  [UNKNOWN]: Wave 3 will be an original drop.
• 4:25:25
  [UNKNOWN]: It's far, no, an original wave of streetware that I think y'all enjoy.
• 4:25:29
  [UNKNOWN]: So, and of course, you know, I still got to keep your nerdy because you know, I know my audience.
• 4:25:32
  [UNKNOWN]: So, with that being said, just no wave 3 of the merch is coming soon.
• 4:25:37
  [UNKNOWN]: And just like the Florida vlog, I tell y'all something's coming soon.
• 4:25:41
  [UNKNOWN]: And just know, I'm thoroughly working on it to make sure it's high quality before I release it.
• 4:25:45
  [UNKNOWN]: Just like I kept teasing the Florida vlog and guess what?
• 4:25:52
  [UNKNOWN]: So if you haven't watched that yet, definitely make sure to subscribe and watch that vlog as me and my dad definitely had a battle in our case.
• 4:25:59
  [UNKNOWN]: And of course, many go off.
• 4:26:00
  [UNKNOWN]: And of course, go out, okay, you get the point.
• 4:26:01
  [UNKNOWN]: So with that being said, that is about it.
• 4:26:04
  [UNKNOWN]: Or this is, that is about it for episode 162 of notorious Mass Effect, which of course, when it comes to that, I exit the out of my script.
• 4:26:12
  [UNKNOWN]: That's great.
• 4:26:13
  [UNKNOWN]: Okay, I'm back.
• 4:26:13
  [UNKNOWN]: So, of course, when it comes to that, episode 162, that is title, no disc, higher prices,
