9 Kings is just another typical early access indie game with terrible UI, lazy unit buffs, and awful pacing. It is barely worth the half price.
Sega is wondering why their highly reviewed games are not selling. Between £60 AA Persona reskins, Denuvo delusions, and burning almost $800 million on a dead Angry Birds fad, here is exactly why their out-of-touch boardroom greed is finally failing.
With ARC Raiders dominating the extraction shooter genre, Bungie's upcoming Marathon faces an impossible battle. The £35 price tag, poor timing, and abstract design spell disaster for Sony's investment.
After a decade of unhinged mismanagement, Bungie is firing half its staff. Destiny 2 is over, and Marathon's disastrous Season 2 proves Sony bought a flop.
Satya Nadella has vapourised 1.4 trillion dollars of Microsoft's market cap. He is incinerating Azure profits on AI e-waste. Read the brutal truth behind the stock crash.
OpenAI shutting down the Sora app is absolutely no surprise. Between an insane $200 paywall and a delusional AI TikTok clone, it was always a spectacularly clueless waste of energy.
A critique of the toxic sales culture at ElevenLabs following VP Carles Reina's controversial 20VC interview. I analyse the sustainability of their "20x salary" quota, the "Product Market Fit is BS" claim, and why their aggressive firing policy signals a pump-and-dump scheme ahead of a potential IPO in the commoditised GenAI voice market.

Sony is officially pulling the plug on Destiny 2. Between a massive $765 million write-off, clueless developers, and a delusional playerbase, Bungie had this coming.
Nvidia is finally walking back that ridiculous $100 billion OpenAI investment. It was always a transparent attempt to pump the stock, but now the reality of the AI bubble has hit. Jensen Huang knows better than to throw cash into a money pit, yet the other tech giants are still blindly doubling down on the hype.
