Marvel’s Wolverine Video Game In Trouble: Has Sweet Baby Inc. On Board. Following the massive failure of 'Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League,' Sweet Baby Inc. is now advising Insomniac Games on Marvel’s Wolverine. This is alarming, considering Sweet Baby Inc.'s involvement led to a $200 million loss for Warner Bros. Mark Kern, aka Grummz, former lead for World of Warcraft and producer of Diablo 2 and Starcraft, has shared concerning news from a lead artist at major studios like Naughty Dog, Rocksteady Games, and Respawn. The artist expressed frustration over repeated rejections of his designs for beautiful female characters at AAA studios, with each revision making the characters look worse. Grummz pointed out the drastic changes in Jean Grey’s design for Marvel’s Wolverine, stating that early, beautiful models have been replaced by less appealing versions. He claims Marvel’s Wolverine is a Sweet Baby Inc. game and suggests the studio's influence is ruining Marvel’s characters. Grummz also revealed that the developer exposing these issues is a liberal and woke individual, showing that the problems in the industry are so severe that even those typically aligned with progressive values feel compelled to speak out. This is not a myth or conspiracy theory; it’s happening in AAA gaming, and gamers were right all along.

In a recent Guardian article, Keza MacDonald continues to push an anti-gamer narrative, filled with inaccuracies and exaggerations. She tries to revive the outdated 'Gamergate' rhetoric, portraying gamers as misogynists while conveniently ignoring key facts and context. MacDonald falsely claims that gamers on a Steam forum wrongly accused Sweet Baby Inc. of pushing for more diversity in games. In reality, the agency was directly involved in attempting to silence critics and push its agenda. Employees like Chris Kindred actively tried to have dissenting voices banned, showcasing a pattern of coercion and manipulation. MacDonald criticizes backlash against a report on IGN about sexism at the developer of Black Myth: Wukong, urging readers not to research further. This discourages independent inquiry and promotes ignorance, which is antithetical to good journalism. Her selective outrage ignores the misconduct of those who share her views, such as Alyssa Mercante contacting a critic's spouse to cause personal harm. MacDonald’s biased reporting exemplifies modern journalism's issues: pushing a specific narrative, selective outrage, and discouraging opposing viewpoints. By misrepresenting facts and selectively addressing harassment, she undermines her credibility and fuels division. This biased approach is why many turn to independent voices on YouTube, where transparency and accountability are prioritized. Unlike mainstream media, independent creators offer diverse perspectives and a commitment to uncovering the truth. The gaming community must stay vigilant against biased journalism that distorts public perception. MacDonald’s article is a reminder of the importance of seeking multiple sources to form a well-rounded understanding, especially in a complex industry like gaming.

In this video, we're diving into the latest manufactured outrage from woke gamers. They’re trying to push a narrative that male gamers are furious about Princess Zelda being the lead protagonist in the new game, Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom. This couldn't be further from the truth. The reality is, most gamers are excited to play the new Zelda game. But that doesn't stop the usual suspects on Twitter, like airbagged, a big Alyssa Mercante simp, from stirring up drama. These miserable wokies are always looking for something to be outraged about, and now they've set their sights on Zelda. Alyssa Mercante and her ilk are prime examples of so-called gaming journalists who are really just political activists. They're more concerned with pushing their political agendas and narratives than celebrating good games. It's disgusting how they cosplay as journalists while attacking anyone who doesn't agree with their views. What's even funnier is that we're also getting another female lead in Metroid, and guess what? Gamers love that too. The whole "gamers hate women" narrative is a lie. Make good games with good characters, and we don't care about their gender. Stay tuned as we break down this latest attempt to fabricate controversy and expose the true motives behind these so-called journalists.

In her latest review of Elden Ring's Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, Alyssa Mercante once again made it all about herself, playing the victim card. Instead of focusing on the game, she filled her review with commentary about her so-called "near endless harassment campaign." It's ironic, considering she's often seen on social media threatening to beat up anyone who disagrees with her. Mercante's narrative always seems to avoid taking responsibility for her controversial statements. Instead of acknowledging that her own words might be the cause of backlash, she constantly blames sexism and homophobia. It's a tired excuse that distracts from genuine issues and undermines the quality of her reviews. In this video, we'll delve into the real story behind her latest review and discuss how her approach damages the credibility of game journalism.

Nick Calandra of Second Wind recently posted a rant about needing to take time off Twitter/X due to daily outrage and his mental health, using his mother being in the hospital as a reason. Yet, less than a day later, he was back online, resuming his usual virtue signaling and gatekeeping as a woke journalist. In this video, we’re uncovering the shocking actions of Nick Calandra, a figure who’s made waves for all the wrong reasons. Calandra was instrumental in getting Smash JT’s website taken down through his involvement with Kotaku Detected. This move was celebrated by those who want to silence dissenting voices in the gaming community, but it’s just one piece of a troubling puzzle. Nick Calandra has a track record of controversial behavior. He was caught doxing Grummz on his Patreon Discord, exposing personal information and putting someone’s safety at risk. This kind of behavior is unacceptable, yet it seems to be part of a pattern for Calandra. He’s also made aggressive threats, claiming he would "knock out" anyone who stands against his woke agenda. These threats reveal a willingness to use intimidation to silence opposition. Recently, Calandra has been lashing out at me, pretending not to know who I am and suggesting I need to find a new hobby. He’s tried to belittle my efforts, saying I need new material. But the truth is, Calandra’s own actions provide plenty of material to discuss. His attempts to dismiss and discredit me only highlight his inability to engage with legitimate criticism. What’s more, Nick Calandra has been a major enabler of Alyssa Mercante’s behavior. By supporting and celebrating her actions, he’s contributing to a toxic environment that suppresses free speech and diversity of thought within the gaming industry. His endorsement of Mercante’s conduct shows a clear alignment with her aggressive tactics and reinforces a culture of hostility towards those who dare to speak out. In this video, we’re digging deep into Nick Calandra’s actions, exposing his hypocrisy, and shedding light on his ongoing attempts to silence critics. We’ll explore how his behavior is part of a broader pattern of toxicity in the gaming industry and why it’s crucial to stand up against it.

Destiny is facing a massive backlash for his demented reaction to the death of Corey Comperatore, a heroic firefighter chief who lost his life shielding his family at the Trump rally shooting. Corey's brave actions saved his family from bullets during the shooting at the Donald Trump rally yesterday. Destiny's response has been nothing short of disgusting. He mocked the death of Corey, stating, “Fvck the firefighter, Fvck Trump, and Fvck people who support him.” When asked if he’d have the same attitude if it were his own parents, he callously replied, "It's less end-of-life costs for me. Would I lose sleep over it? No." This lack of remorse and empathy is appalling. It's confusing why someone with such a grotesque attitude is still on the platform. Elon Musk should review this immediately, as Destiny remains monetized on X. Steven Kenneth Bonnell, known online as Destiny, has shown his true colors, and the internet is rightfully outraged. Elon Musk is even considering pulling ads from Destiny following his offensive tweets aimed at Trump supporters. How is this person still allowed to spread such vile opinions?

The first Assassin's Creed Shadows trailer made franchise history by becoming the most disliked trailer of all time. Now that we have seen the gameplay showcase, it’s getting absolutely annihilated by fans. Many feel it looks like just another mediocre game, revealing how lazy the developers were. If you enjoy the content I create, follow me on social media, join the community in my live streams, and consider supporting through Patreon or YouTube memberships. I have previously covered Assassin's Creed Shadows, specifically the first trailer, which became the most disliked trailer for Assassin's Creed. It's sad to see, as I've loved Assassin's Creed in the past and have a lot of nostalgia for the franchise. However, the Ubisoft of today doesn’t seem to care about their customers and only creates products for themselves. They recently showed off an extended gameplay walkthrough at Ubisoft Forward, which I streamed live. If you want to see my live reaction, the link is below, but it wasn’t positive. The more I watched, the more issues I found. First, it was a 13-minute gameplay walkthrough, with only two to three fights and a lot of walking. While walking segments are expected, this isn’t what people want to see. Background NPCs were just standing around doing nothing. Although it's a work in progress with a few months until release, they already have pre-orders up, including $130 editions. They think this title is worth it, but it doesn’t look amazing. Consider Elden Ring, which many paid $70 for and were happy to buy additional DLC. In contrast, Assassin's Creed Shadows looks clunky and incomplete. The combat is slow, the graphics have pop-in issues, and textures are lacking. Ubisoft recently marketed Skull and Bones as a quadruple-A game, and I wonder if they will do the same with Shadows. Another issue is the music choice. They put hip-hop music behind the combat, which doesn’t fit the game at all. It’s like Ubisoft is trying to be "hip with the kids," but they missed the mark. They don’t understand what Assassin's Creed is about. Historical accuracies are lacking, and while some don’t play for historical accuracy, many do, and previous games depicted real historical figures well. Fans are annihilating this trailer. The Ubisoft YouTube upload has 44,000 likes and 61,000 dislikes. The PlayStation upload shows similar numbers, with 6.8k likes and 11,000 dislikes. Some defend the game, saying others are overreacting, and if you enjoy it, that’s great. But many are not impressed. People have left comments like, "The part where he said it's DJ time and break danced them to oblivion had me in tears," and "Ain't no way they gave the black samurai a hip-hop combat beat." Fans expect Ubisoft to change things due to the backlash, and they might. The game launches on November 15th, so there’s time for Ubisoft to market it more and potentially change things. I'll keep my eye on Assassin's Creed Shadows and see if any developers respond to the criticism.

Sweet Baby Inc. has been busted trying to extort Game Science for $7 million to comply with their wokeness or face smear campaigns and hit pieces against them. This extortion attempt is part of a larger pattern of DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) consultants meddling in the gaming industry, demanding compliance or threatening to ruin reputations. An example of this can be seen in the IGN article by Rebekah Valentine, which attacks Game Science over allegations of sexism. With so many games releasing these days, it’s tough to keep up with everything. This morning, I stumbled across Black Myth: Wukong for the first time, thanks to a tweet by Grum. The tweet grabbed my attention because it talked about journalists slandering the game, accusing the developers of sexism. What's intriguing is that this game is from a Chinese company, and it seems Western agendas are now pushing their way into other countries' affairs. Good luck with that, especially with China. Digging deeper, this controversy is a part of a larger issue involving Gamergate and the DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) agenda infiltrating the gaming industry. Gamers have made it clear time and again—they don’t want external agendas injected into their games. They want games to reflect the developers' original vision, not one altered by external pressures. The situation with Black Myth: Wukong reveals a more sinister side of the gaming industry, exposing companies like Sweet Baby Inc. for what they really are. They operate like a modern mafia, coercing companies to comply with their DEI demands or face public shaming and attacks from their journalist allies. IGN's article also dredges up old social media posts and recruitment posters they found offensive. But let's get real—this is China. You can't impose Western values on a country with a completely different cultural background. The relentless attacks on Game Science trace back to their refusal to be extorted by Sweet Baby Inc. for $7 million. That’s the real story here. DEI consultants like Sweet Baby Inc. use threats of bad press to extort money from companies. They’ve meddled in games like Assassin's Creed and Dying Light 2, pushing for politically correct changes. Game Science didn’t pay their extortion fees, and as a result, they were targeted and slandered. Narrative consultation companies like Sweet Baby Inc. are actively ruining the video game industry. Hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of gamers are boycotting these companies. The rumor is that the Wukong devs rejected a $7 million extortion attempt from DEI consultants. This is just a rumor, so take it with a grain of salt, but it wouldn't surprise me if it's true. These companies reach out to development groups, telling them their games aren't diverse or inclusive enough. They then demand fees to "help" them meet these arbitrary standards. According to a journalist on the Chinese social media platform Weibo, Black Myth: Wukong is experiencing a harassment campaign from Western critics and journalists after rejecting offers from DEI consultants. Game Science teams have refused to communicate with these groups and reject their interference. They should not have to feel like they need to correspond with individuals trying to extort them. Over the past year, there have been multiple articles trashing the developer Game Science and some individuals on the team. IGN previously wrote an article titled "How Black Myth Wukong Developer's History of Sexism is Complicating Its Journey to the West," filled with innuendos and posts.

Rebekah Valentine has locked her Twitter and doubled down on her hit piece against Game Science. IGN refuses to retract their mistranslated statements, showing their lack of integrity. Sweet Baby Inc. tried to extort Game Science for $7 million, threatening smear campaigns if they didn't comply. This highlights a troubling trend of DEI consultants meddling in the gaming industry. Black Myth: Wukong, a Chinese game, faced slander from Western journalists pushing their agendas. Gamers want games to reflect developers' original visions, not altered by external pressures. Companies like Sweet Baby Inc. operate like modern mafias, coercing compliance with DEI demands or facing public shaming. IGN's article targeted Game Science over old social media posts and recruitment posters. The real story is Game Science's refusal to pay Sweet Baby Inc.'s $7 million extortion fee, leading to relentless attacks and slander. Narrative consultation companies like Sweet Baby Inc. are ruining the gaming industry, and gamers are boycotting them. Game Science has rejected interference from these groups and shouldn't have to deal with extortion attempts. The attacks on Game Science are part of a larger issue of DEI consultants trying to control the industry.

Alyssa Mercante is facing a wave of online criticism after making excuses to avoid fighting Vara Dark, despite issuing a bold challenge. During an appearance on Giant Bomb, Mercante called for people in the industry to speak out against meanness and issued a physical challenge to anyone who disagreed with her views on diversity. When asked if anyone had taken her up on it, she dismissed them as "p*****s." However, several individuals, including YouTuber Vara Dark, accepted the challenge. Vara Dark proposed a public match with prize money and the loser making a public announcement. Despite initially engaging, Mercante quickly imposed conditions that suggested she had no intention of fighting. She refused prize money, insisted on charity-only proceeds, and opposed streaming the match, citing concerns about her opponents profiting from it. Keemstar, from Happy Punch Promotions, offered to organize the fight, but Mercante rejected his involvement, further fueling speculation that she was avoiding the confrontation. Despite Mercante's posturing about moral high ground, her refusal to face Vara Dark in a transparent manner has led to accusations of cowardice and hypocrisy. Mercante's actions have only intensified the online roasting, with many calling her out for backing down after issuing a provocative challenge. What do you think of Mercante's challenge and subsequent excuses?

In an alarming development, Chris Kindred from Sweet Baby Inc. allegedly contacted YouTuber Smash JT’s former employer in a bid to get him fired. This incident comes on the heels of Kindred and another Sweet Baby Inc. employee's attempt to cancel Brazilian gamer KabrutusRambo for creating a Steam curator list documenting Sweet Baby Inc.'s projects available on Steam. At the end of February, Kindred took to X, denouncing KabrutusRambo and calling for the cancellation of his Steam account, equating it to theft. Now, Smash JT reveals that Kindred reached out to his former workplace, accusing him of harassment and running a website collecting a non-white audience. Smash JT explains how this accusation is easily disproved and describes how Kindred's attempt to contact his former employer backfired. Smash JT details, "He reached out to a company where I had worked and said that 'I am harassing and have started a website collecting a non-white audience.' This is easily disprovable if you go to my website and see there's nothing illegal. Despite trying to get my website taken down, everything is public information. He contacted a place I worked at three years ago, busy professionals, leaving messages and thinking it wouldn’t get back to me. Maybe he thought it would be anonymous, even though he left his name and phone number.” Smash JT continues, “I don't know what you were thinking, Chris. This is going to come back full force. You are the bad guy in this situation. Trying to get people fired and proactively calling, verifying employment, discussing harassment, potential racism, and claiming my site is for a non-white audience? This is unjustifiable and doesn't need to exist in the gaming industry.” This incident isn't isolated. At the end of May, Smash JT’s website was targeted by Second Wind Editor-in-Chief Nick Calandra. Calandra urged people to report the site to Wix, which led to its temporary takedown for 36 hours. Despite these attempts, Smash JT stands firm, exposing the tactics of those trying to cancel him and others in the gaming community.

In a stunning turn of events, DMs have surfaced showing Alyssa Mercante backing out of her challenge to fight Vara Dark. Vara Dark posted these messages, revealing that Mercante is now refusing to have the fight be public and filmed. It seems Mercante has every excuse in the book to avoid facing Vara Dark. Alyssa Mercante, the woke Kotaku editor, has recently found herself in hot water. After challenging gamers to a physical fight over their criticisms, she's now gone into protected tweets mode on Twitter/X, clearly scared of the backlash she's received. This move has only added fuel to the fire, with many accusing her of being a coward. The drama escalated when Keemstar, known for setting up several successful boxing events, offered to organize the fight through his Happy Punch Promotion. However, Mercante rudely declined his offer, stating that she didn't like him and that no morally corrupt person should make money off her. This refusal has led many to believe that Mercante is backing off the fight and scared to box Vara Dark, who had accepted the challenge. Mercante initially made explosive comments about toxicity in the gaming community and even challenged gamers to a fight if they disagreed with her views. But now, with her tweets protected and her refusal to engage in the fight publicly, it appears she’s stepping back from her bold claims. What do you think about Alyssa Mercante backing out of the fight with Vara Dark? Let me know in the comments below!

DMs Expose Alyssa Mercante as a Coward Against Vara Dark. In a stunning revelation, DMs have surfaced exposing Kotaku Senior Editor Alyssa Mercante as a coward against YouTuber Vara Dark. Vara Dark posted these messages, showing that Mercante backed out of a public fight and insisted it not be filmed. It seems Mercante has every excuse in the book to avoid facing Vara Dark. Alyssa Mercante vs. Vara Dark: The Full Story. Kotaku Senior Editor Alyssa Mercante made an appearance on the YouTube channel Giant Bomb where she challenged YouTubers to fight. In her fiery rant, Mercante declared, "I want people in the industry to be a little bit louder about people being mean to other people and maybe say it’s not a good thing. Maybe say we don’t want you around if you’re going to be a ct and hateful. The games industry is naturally diverse, not because anyone is making them be diverse, because the world is diverse, you stupid motherfer. And if you have a problem with that, come fight me, physically, b**h." Oddly, after issuing this challenge, Mercante was asked if anyone had taken her up on it. She responded, "No, because they’re all p*****s." This is ironic, considering her own reluctance to face Vara Dark in a public, recorded match. Keemstar, known for his experience in setting up several boxing events through his Happy Punch Promotion, offered to help organize the fight between Vara Dark and Alyssa Mercante. However, Mercante rudely declined his offer, stating that she didn't like him and believed that no morally corrupt person should profit from her. This led many to believe that she was backing out of the fight and was scared to box Vara Dark, who was ready and willing to step into the ring. Alyssa Mercante's hypocrisy doesn't end there. She celebrated Second Wind Editor-in-Chief Nick Calandra’s coordinated reporting campaign against YouTuber Smash JT, which briefly got Smash JT’s website and his Kotaku Detected web page shut down. While it was shut down, Mercante celebrated, "Oop! Website not detected! Huge shoutout to Nick Calandra who reached out to Wix about this site and consistently followed up. Clearly they agree that he was engaging in targeted harassment, among other things." She added, "This is a great precedent, a great sign that there are people and places on the internet who know targeted harassment and cyberbullying when they see it!" Vara Dark, unfazed by Mercante's antics, accepted the challenge after the video was posted. Dark wrote on X, "Can’t hit up this little b***h who's hiding behind a block, so send me a DM and let’s talk match details." She continued, "Let’s do one better and lay it out publicly. Winner gets $1k, loser has to put up content publicly announcing their loss (an article from you, a video from me) and what, 3 months for a venue and train?" Despite the tough talk, Mercante's refusal to let Keemstar set up the fight and her attempts to keep the fight out of the public eye suggest she’s not as ready to back her words with action. What do you make of Mercante’s challenge and her comments?

In a dramatic twist, YouTuber Keemstar has stepped in to offer his expertise in setting up a boxing match between Vara Dark and Kotaku Senior Editor Alyssa Mercante through his Happy Punch Promotions. Keemstar, known for organizing several successful boxing events, made a generous offer to facilitate the bout. However, Alyssa Mercante rudely declined, stating she didn't like Keemstar and that no morally corrupt person should profit off her. Is this her way of backing out of the challenge issued by Vara Dark? Let's dive into the full story. Alyssa Mercante, a prominent figure in the gaming industry, recently made explosive comments during an appearance on Giant Bomb’s YouTube channel. In an unexpected turn of events, she went on a rant about toxicity in the gaming community, even challenging gamers to a physical fight if they disagreed with her views. Mercante shared a clip of her appearance, saying, “I want people in the industry to be a little bit louder about people being mean to others and maybe say it’s not a good thing. Maybe say we don’t want you around if you’re going to be a ct and hateful. The games industry is naturally diverse, not because anyone is making it diverse, but because the world is diverse, you stupid motherfer. And if you have a problem with that, come fight me, physically, b**h.” Oddly, after issuing this challenge, one of the other individuals in the room asked if anyone had taken her up on it. She responded, “No, because they’re all p*****s.” In a bold move, YouTuber Vara Dark accepted Mercante’s challenge. After the video was posted, Vara Dark wrote on X, “Can’t hit up this little b***h who's hiding behind a block so send me a DM and let’s talk match details. Let’s do one better and lay it out publicly. Winner gets $1k, loser has to put up content publicly announcing their loss (an article from you, a video from me) and what, 3 months for a venue and train?” Interestingly, Keemstar, who has experience in organizing high-profile boxing matches, offered to help set up the fight through his Happy Punch Promotions. Despite his willingness to assist, Mercante rudely declined, stating she didn’t like him and that no morally corrupt person should profit off her. This response has led many to believe she might be backing down from her own challenge, perhaps scared to face Vara Dark in the ring.

Kotaku Senior Editor Alyssa Mercante Challenges YouTubers to Fight, Vara Dark Accepts. Kotaku Senior Editor Alyssa Mercante recently made headlines with a bold appearance on the YouTube channel Giant Bomb, where she openly challenged YouTubers to a physical fight. Her remarks have sparked significant controversy and debate within the gaming community. Mercante shared a clip from her appearance, stating, “I want people in the industry to be a little bit louder about people being mean to other people and maybe say it’s not a good thing. Maybe say we don’t want you around if you’re going to be a ct and hateful. The games industry is naturally diverse, not because anyone is making them be diverse, because the world is diverse, you stupid motherfer. And if you have a problem with that, come fight me, physically, b**h.” After issuing the challenge, one of the individuals in the room asked if anyone had taken her up on it. She responded, “No, because they’re all p*****s.” It would be interesting if people in the video game industry did indeed take her advice, given Mercante is known for her aggressive online persona. A glance at her X (formerly Twitter) feed reveals posts like, “marinating in men’s tears.” Mercante also supported Second Wind Editor-in-Chief Nick Calandra’s coordinated campaign against YouTuber Smash JT, which led to a brief shutdown of Smash JT’s website and his Kotaku Detected web page. While the site was down, Mercante celebrated, “Oop! Website not detected! Huge shoutout to Nick Calandra who reached out to Wix about this site and consistently followed up. Clearly, they agree he was engaging in targeted harassment, among other things.” As for her challenge to a fight, YouTuber Vara Dark accepted after the video was posted. Dark wrote on X, “Can’t hit up this little b***h who's hiding behind a block, so send me a DM and let’s talk match details.” She added, “Let’s do one better and lay it out publicly. Winner gets $1k, loser has to put up content publicly announcing their loss (an article from you, a video from me) and what, 3 months for a venue and train?” Alyssa Mercante, a figure in the gaming industry, made some explosive comments at the Summer Games Fest. She went on a rant about toxicity in the gaming community, even challenging gamers to a physical fight if they disagreed with her views. We're diving into the full story, breaking down her statements, and discussing the broader implications of her controversial remarks. Buckle up and get ready for an intense discussion on the latest drama shaking up the gaming world. Alyssa decided to send a message to so-called "toxic YouTubers." Here's what she had to say: "You know what I want? I want people in the industry to be louder about people being mean to others and maybe say it's not a good thing. Yeah, maybe say we don't want you around if you're going to be a jerk and hateful. The games industry is diverse naturally, not because anyone's making them be diverse, because the world is diverse, you stupid idiots. And if you have a problem with that, come fight me physically." Alyssa claims that the gaming industry is naturally diverse, which is why DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) isn't needed. Yet, she supports these DEI initiatives. It's such a contradiction. She says the industry is naturally diverse, but then insists on pushing DEI. She goes on to challenge people to a physical fight if they have a problem with her views. Seriously? I doubt she's talking to people like me because I promise you, I wouldn't back down. But let's be real, I'm not condoning fighting women.

Alyssa Mercante and her friends are now trying to get people fired from their jobs. In this video, I'll be discussing how figures like Nick Calandra, Alyssa Mercante, and the notorious Airbagged have crossed the line. They've moved from professional disagreements to personal vendettas, even targeting my livelihood. This is how these cowards from Kotaku and other parts of the internet operate—by trying to destroy the lives of those who challenge them. I want to make it clear that these actions are utterly despicable and I disavow them entirely. Trying to get someone fired for their opinions is beyond unacceptable. Initially, the opposition was harmless, just some joking around. But now, it’s escalated. People have started targeting his personal life. For instance, some have gone as far as DMing his spouse, trying to sow discord and cause problems. While such attempts are laughable in a strong relationship like his, they could be devastating for others. One notable figure in this saga is Nick Calandra, who urged his followers to go after Smash JT’s funding sources. This is an insane mindset, trying to disrupt someone's livelihood because of differing opinions. When Calandra tried to get Smash JT's website taken down, he succeeded temporarily, but it was quickly reinstated. Then there's Alyssa Mercante, who took things to the next level by threatening to sue Smash JT. Her issue? Smash JT’s opinions on the state of the video game industry, which often include critiques of her and her colleagues. Instead of engaging in constructive dialogue, she resorted to legal threats, trying to silence him. But the attacks didn’t stop there. Alyssa started using Smash JT’s full legal name in her tweets, a clear attempt to get her followers to dox him and target his personal life. This is a common tactic among those who can’t handle criticism. One of her followers, an account known as Airbagged, took this to heart and began encouraging people to attack Smash JT personally and try to get him fired from his job. This is how these cowards operate. Instead of addressing the issues at hand, they attack the person behind the critique. It’s not about defending the industry or improving it; it’s about silencing voices they don’t agree with. Smash JT’s resolve, however, remains unshaken. Despite being doxxed, having his website temporarily taken down, receiving lawsuit threats, and having direct messages sent to his wife, he stands firm. His commitment to speaking the truth and fighting for what he believes in only grows stronger. The actions of people like Calandra, Mercante, and Airbagged are despicable and cowardly. They reflect a fear of open dialogue and a desire to suppress dissenting voices at any cost. But Smash JT is determined to keep pushing forward, exposing the truth, and standing up for what he believes is right. He’s not going anywhere, and his channel will continue to grow, fueled by his unwavering dedication and the support of his loyal audience.

Alyssa Mercante, a well-known figure in the industry, recently made some explosive comments at the Summer Games Fest. In an unexpected turn of events, she went off on a rant about toxicity in the gaming community and even went as far as to challenge gamers to a physical fight if they disagreed with her views. Yes, you heard that right. We're diving into the full story, breaking down her statements, and discussing the broader implications of her controversial remarks. So, buckle up and get ready for an intense discussion on the latest drama shaking up the gaming world. Let's jump right into it! Alyssa decided to send a message to so-called "toxic YouTubers." Let's see what she had to say: "You know what I want? I want people in the industry to be louder about people being mean to others and maybe say it's not a good thing. Yeah, maybe say we don't want you around if you're going to be a jerk and hateful. The games industry is diverse naturally, not because anyone's making them be diverse, because the world is diverse, you stupid idiots. And if you have a problem with that, come fight me physically." Oh, come on! Really? Being mean to others? This coming from someone who DM'd somebody's wife over a disagreement about a video game? Please. Alyssa claims that the gaming industry is naturally diverse, which is why DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) isn't needed. Yet, she supports these DEI initiatives. It's such a contradiction. She says the industry is naturally diverse, but then insists on pushing DEI. She goes on to challenge people to a physical fight if they have a problem with her views. Seriously? I doubt she's talking to people like me because I promise you, I wouldn't back down. But let's be real, I'm not condoning fighting women. Alyssa, you're just contradicting yourself. You say the industry is diverse while sitting on a panel full of white people. You can't make this stuff up. Promoting DEI while claiming natural diversity? Give me a break. So, what do you guys think about Alyssa Mercante threatening to fight YouTubers? Let me know your thoughts in the comments below.

Sweet Baby Inc. might be facing their biggest loss yet. A new rumor suggests Warner Brothers Discovery is discussing shutting down Rocksteady, the developer of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, after the game's failure earlier this year. Rocksteady's game was a huge financial disaster. Warner Brothers reported a $200 million loss in their first-quarter earnings due to this game. The player base has plummeted, with recent data showing only 286 players in the last 24 hours, down from a peak of 13,459 at launch. Sales estimates are also disappointing, with only around 129,600 copies sold on Steam. This new rumor comes from Vera Dark, who claims Warner Brothers is considering closing Rocksteady or cutting down their 250 employees. She mentions that Rocksteady, once known for their successful Arkham series, is now struggling. The controversy doesn't end there. Reports suggest that the next big thing from Rocksteady is a gender-swapped Mr. Freeze, promoting transgender ideology. This has only added to the backlash from players and critics. Sweet Baby Inc. has been linked to several game failures, and their involvement seems to spell disaster for any game they touch. Developers should take this as a warning: avoid promoting woke ideology in games, as it leads to financial ruin and alienates players. What do you think of this rumor?

Activision Blizzard recently gave Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III and Call of Duty: Warzone players a free "pride" gift pack with "transgender" themed bullets and guns. They said, "Call of Duty is for everyone," and offered weapon camo variants with colors of different LGBTQ+ flags. While themed bullet shells aren't new to Call of Duty, these transgender-themed ones caused a lot of controversy. Many players and critics think this was a bad idea. X user 9mm_smg even suggested it was a dangerous move, especially after some recent mass shootings by transgender people. Critics argue that this is just pandering and could encourage unstable behavior. There have been some recent mass shootings involving transgender individuals, and this makes people question the timing and decision by Activision. People are divided. Some want these skins removed, saying they're harmful. Others think it's good for inclusivity and representation. But the question is: Is Activision trying to be inclusive, or did they make a poor choice that could have bad consequences? Activision already has legal problems, and this controversy makes things worse. They might mean well, but they need to think more carefully about their decisions in the gaming industry. #CallOfDuty #Activision #GamingControversy #PrideMonth #TransgenderRepresentation #ModernWarfareIII #Warzone #GamingNews #LGBTQ #GameDevelopment #GamingCommunity #Inclusivity #GamingDebate #VideoGames #ControversialGaming #TransPride #GamerNews

Over the last decade, it's become common for big companies—whether video game developers, sports leagues, or other corporate businesses—to go all out in celebrating diversity during June for Pride Month. This includes video game companies like 343 Industries, the makers of Halo. Two years ago, they celebrated Pride Month with various in-game events and queer customization options in Halo Infinite, and they're doing it again this year. Just recently, they announced that Halo Infinite will be giving away free cosmetics for Pride Month. While studios like 343 celebrate Pride Month in gaming, providing players with unique ways to mark the occasion, the sentiment around these celebrations has shifted. About five years ago, Pride Month was seen as a time for cringe-worthy virtue signaling. But now, in 2024, many people are tired of how much it's changed the entertainment, video game, and comic book industries. Companies now often face backlash when they promote inclusivity and diversity, which is why Halo decided to disable comments on their Pride Month announcement. The Halo post reads: "Happy Pride Month! Embrace love, diversity, and inclusion by equipping the Unity 24 armor coating, nameplate, and emblem in Halo Infinite this June. Let's stand together in honoring our LGBTQIA+ community and forging a future of unity and acceptance for all. Pride 2024." Despite their pride in celebrating Pride Month, they chose to turn off comments on this post. Why? Perhaps because they anticipated backlash from a player base tired of being preached to by big corporate entities. Even though comments were disabled, the post received many quote tweets expressing frustration. One user, Pitmaster, wrote: "Back in the day, we used to call it Gayo. Little did we know we'd be proved right decades later." Others echoed similar sentiments, with some comments garnering thousands of likes. One user even said, "This is why I'm a fascist now," comparing game developers of the past to today's developers. The decision to turn off comments didn't stop people from criticizing the post. Users questioned why 343 Industries didn't focus on making better games instead of virtue signaling. Halo, once a beloved franchise, now faces bleak prospects, with fans disappointed in both the games and the television show adaptation. Season two of the show was so poorly received that no one even cared enough to bash it.

In a surprising move, Sony is once again requiring PlayStation Network account linking for the PC version of "God of War Ragnarök." This follows the previous backlash they faced with "Helldivers 2" for a similar requirement. Why would they repeat the same mistake? Sony had to backtrack on the PSN linking requirement for "Helldivers 2" after facing significant pushback from gamers. They initially allowed the linking requirement to be optional due to technical issues but soon made it mandatory again, claiming it was necessary for player safety and security. With "God of War Ragnarök" set to release on September 19, 2024, Sony's blog post reveals that a PSN account will be required for PC players. This raises questions about why Sony would implement a policy that previously backfired and why there isn't more outrage over this decision. Why isn't the gaming community more vocal about this repeat of a contentious policy? Is Sony prioritizing control over user convenience? Let's dive into why Sony is doubling down on PSN account linking and what it means for gamers.

Recently, Konami tweeted that their upcoming Silent Hill 2 remake is "for modern audiences." This phrase has been used before, and it's code for making a game more "inclusive" or "diverse," but gamers see it as "woke nonsense." It's a strategy where game companies blame the players if the game doesn't sell, suggesting that if we don't buy the game, we’re the problem. Konami and Bloober Team recently released a trailer for the Silent Hill 2 remake. Instead of exciting fans, it fell flat. Many are upset, especially with the new look of the character Angela. She's been made to look ugly and less like the character we remember. But that's not the only problem. The fog effects, environments, gameplay, voice acting, and sound effects all seem off. It doesn't feel like Silent Hill. Konami’s response to the backlash was to post a behind-the-scenes video on Twitter, but this only made things worse. They suggested that the remake is for "modern audiences," a phrase that implies the game is no longer for the fans of the original. It's a way of saying that if you don't like the changes, you're not the target audience anymore. This is part of a bigger problem in the gaming industry. Companies use terms like "modern audiences" to cover up legitimate criticisms about gameplay, graphics, and voice acting. They want to include everyone, but in doing so, they make changes that long-time fans don't like. It’s a way to blame gamers for not accepting these changes. #silenthill2 #silenthill2remake #silenthill #silenthillremake #silenthill2woke #silenthill2remaketrailer #silenthill1

Sony, what are you doing? I understand you have a new regime and things are changing. Maybe this is something from the old regime, but your State of Play presentation yesterday was not good. It's okay to admit that, even if you're a diehard Sony fan. Many of the diehard fans didn't like the event, and for good reason. While there were some highlights, like AstroBot, one game stood out for all the wrong reasons: Concord. #ps5 #concordps5 #concord #concordgameplayps5 #concordps5gameplay #concordtrailer #ps5concord #concordgameplay #ps5games #ps5pro #concord Concord got the most presentation time, which made it seem like a big deal, but everyone hates it. The game started the presentation with a long cinematic trailer that looked like a knockoff version of Guardians of the Galaxy. At first, it seemed like it might be an action-adventure game, but after the six-minute cinematic, the gameplay was revealed to be a five-on-five hero shooter. This was the first time we learned what the game actually was, and it was a huge letdown. Hero shooters had their heyday seven years ago with games like Overwatch and Fortnite. Now, the market is oversaturated, and many games in this genre have failed. Concord looks like it's pandering to a certain audience with its diverse character select screen and pronouns for characters. While diversity is important, it feels forced and doesn't make up for the game's lackluster gameplay and design. The emphasis on DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) in Concord feels like pandering and has alienated a lot of players. Instead of focusing on creating an engaging and fun game, it seems like the developers were more concerned with checking off diversity boxes. This forced inclusion doesn't sit well with many gamers who feel that it's unnecessary and detracts from the gaming experience. Most players just want a good game, not a social statement. The YouTube trailer for Concord's gameplay has 3,200 likes and 18,000 dislikes, a massive ratio. People aren't just hating on it because of the diverse cast or pronouns; they hate it because it looks like garbage. PlayStation 5 owners have been waiting for something exclusive, and this is a huge disappointment. We don't even know if Concord will cost money. It seems like Sony put it out there to gauge reactions before deciding. If people had loved it, maybe they would charge for it. But with the overwhelmingly negative response, it's likely to end up on PlayStation Plus if it wants any chance of success. There was another hero shooter at the presentation, Marvel Rivals, which looked much better. It had actual Marvel characters and seemed more appealing. Who is Concord for? It's trying to enter a diminishing market with an outdated model. The AAA video game industry is struggling because it takes so long to develop games, and by the time they come out, the market has moved on. Concord is a perfect example of why the AAA video game industry is in trouble. It looks generic, isn't fun, and won't be a success. I've been wrong before, but I'm confident this game will flop just like many others before it. As a PlayStation 5 owner, I'm disappointed. Besides AstroBot, there's nothing exciting on the horizon.
