YouTube movie critic Jeremy Jahns responds to the online backlash following attempts to cancel him after he gave the new Matt Walsh documentary Am I Racist? a positive score.

Cyberpunk 2077 developer CD Projekt Red announced a new company mentorship program that’s open to women at the cost of excluding men for being men. The aim with this program is to better represent women in the gaming industry since it is believed the reason less women are involved in video game creation is because they don’t have proper guidance. CD Projekt Red doesn’t seem to understand the idea that maybe women aren’t as involved in game development because they don’t gravitate to that line of work as much as men.

New rumors are circulating that Sony’s failed hero shooter Concord lost over $400 million for Sony and that’s not including the cost to acquire Firewalk Studios. Concord landed with a thud upon it’s release, attracting very few players and ultimately getting shutdown just two weeks afterwards. New it’s being reported from alleged insiders that higher ups at Sony thought they really had something with this game and believed it was going to be their own Star Wars; something that will be very popular and they could continually milk. Clearly that wasn’t the case, but the insider believes those working at Sony cultivated an environment of “toxic positivity” where nothing negative was allowed to be expressed about the game.

The new Dragon Age game from BioWare, Dragon Age: The Veilguard, has character customization options that allows the player to create a trans character complete with top surgical scars. BioWare is clearly doing this to virtue signal that they are accepting of trans people, something the studio did with Mass Effect Andromeda which contributed to that game failing. It appears the game studio is more interested in pushing their message over giving players something they’ll like.

In a recent interview a producer for Ubisoft’s new game, Assassin’s Creed Shadows, admits that they’re taking liberties with their portrayal of Yasuke because that’s the story they wanted to tell. This almost comes across as admitting defeat since Ubisoft and their defenders have been trying to argue for months now that Yasuke was really a samurai and they consulted Japanese historians to confirm that. Now it seems they have abandoned this argument and are hoping this will be enough to win people over. It’s unfortunate for Ubisoft their defenders online have been working hard to alienate potential customers.

The latest Disney Marvel show, Agatha All Along, is about to be released on Disney+ and some involved with the project are calling it the gayest show in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, MCU. This news comes after it was revealed Pixar made deliberate efforts not to include LGBTQ+ themes in their latest animated film Inside Out 2 which went on to become the highest grossing animated film of all time. Currently Marvel is holding a review embargo on the show until it is released publicly which is usually a sign they don’t have faith in the project.

The latest Disney and Pixar film, Inside Out 2, has gone on to become the highest grossing animated film of all time and now it is being learned the studio deliberately made it not gay. According to Pixar employees the studio had them working extra hard in the leadup to the release in order to re-edit and touch up scenes to remove elements that could be interpreted as gay. This is a stark contrast to one of Pixar’s previous movies, Lightyear, which boasted about having a gay couple in the film. Seeing as how Lightyear bombed while Inside Out 2 succeeded it would appear Disney may learn what it takes in order to make a profitable movie.

Actor John Leguizamo made a speech at the Emmy Awards where he proclaimed himself to be a DEI hire and praised the notion of people being hired based on their ethnicity as opposed to merit. This comes at a time when many Hollywood studios are trying to abandon the label of DEI after learning it is box office poison. This has resulted in studios firing heads of these departments or rebrand them. Either way most leadership within the industry is aware to avoid drawing attention to diversity quotas, it just seems like John Leguizamo was not present for the meeting.

The latest film from The Daily Wire, Am I Racist?, is seeing a good box office return during the film’s opening weekend, more than making up for the reported modest budget. Am I Racist? is the first film from The Daily Wire to receive a wide theatrical release and it’s looking like that has paid off for the conservative media outlet. Prior releases for them have mainly premiered on their own streaming platform. However, it would appear mainstream critics from major platforms are still refusing to cover the subject because they don’t want to give it any attention.

Ubisoft released another trailer for their upcoming Assassin’s Creed game, Assassin’s Creed Shadows, and the video is getting absolutely destroyed online with many claiming the company is using bots to comment. In recent weeks Ubisoft has been under fire for the failure that was Star Wars Outlaws which has resulted in a nearly 10 year low for the company’s stock value. This latest Assassin’s Creed game is the next big release for the company and if it’s not a hit the company could be in some serious financial trouble.

Prior rumors surrounding the production of Captain America: Brave New World suggests the studio was not confident in the film’s success and instead opted to reshoot most of the movie in order to avoid releasing a failure. Now one of the actors involved with the production has confirmed Marvel Studios and Disney chose to go back and reshoot their next instalment for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, MCU. This accounts largely for why the production budget for the movie has ballooned to nearly $400 million dollars and why the film was delayed for a year. When factoring marketing cost this is a movie that will need to break $1 billion in order to be profitable.

Am I Racist? Is the latest documentary from conservative media outlet The Daily Wire, and it’s been getting a lot of heat from DEI activists on the left who want to see the movie deplatformed. The Daily Wire has released documentaries in the past such as the Matt Walsh documentary What is a Woman? However, this is the first time the company is releasing their film theatrically instead of keeping it behind a paywall on their own site. This is something many activists don’t like with screen grabs from theater workers saying they want to sabotage the film. Another statement put out by a theater owner is saying they are pulling the release because of threats from people on the left.

A pair of thieves in Japan used bladed weapons to steal $68,000 in Pokémon cards from an office after tying up several employees and forcing them to give up the valuable cards.

IGN is causing a storm by announcing they will not be reviewing Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP despite the changes for this new version and will instead stick by their 2012 score for the original release. Many online speculate that IGN doesn’t want to review the game because it doesn’t fit with the company’s politic i.e. pushing to make female characters ugly. This has been a trend in recent years with many gamers noticing games coming out of Western studios falling into this. Meanwhile Eastern developers are still giving fans what they want.

Ubisoft has experienced significant backlash due to their insistence on pushing DEI over quality and the company has made indicators they are doubling down on these decisions. Following the release of Star Wars Outlaws Ubisoft has seen a further decline in stock value, something that shouldn’t occur following the release of a major AAA title from a game developer. Combine that with the bleak outlook for their next big title, Assassin’s Creed Shadows, and it’s no wonder shareholders are pushing for the company to go private. Instead of learning from the mistakes that have caused this it would appear Ubisoft is wanting to continue their path of destruction.

Since the release of the Amazon Prime Lord of the Rings series, The Rings of Power, many outside sources have been commenting on the success, or lack thereof, for the Prime Video series. Now Amazon is finally releasing some numbers and they don’t look good. According to Amazon they have already gotten 40 million views for the 2nd season of The Rings of Power. While this may sound good at a glance, when examining those numbers, one could see Amazon is using the viewership for the first 4 episodes of the new season. When taking into consideration the first episode of season 1 received 25 million views according to Amazon, it shows this new season is in fact trailing the previous one.

The creative director for the upcoming Indiana Jones game, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, said in a recent interview that they are trying to discourage action because Indiana Jones is not competent in those situations. This comes across as, at best, the game developers not understanding the character or what he is capable of. This could also be seen as the game developers having an idea as to how the game should play out and are trying to pigeonhole the player into doing things their way. Either way it’s not a good look to establish multiple options for gameplay while trying to prevent the player from engaging with them.

According to the rock star the game studio offered him and his band $7500 each, a total of $22,500, to license one of their songs.

Since Disney announce the cancelation of The Acolyte many Disney Star Wars fans have been upset and have tried to start a petition to get the series renewed.

We’re starting to get some viewership numbers in for Amazon’s Lord of the Rings series, The Rings of Power, and according to some metrics the viewership is worse than season 1 of the Prime Video series. The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power viewership comparison between the premiere episodes for season 1 and season 2 shows the second season was only able to get around half the audience. This makes sense when considering that some data suggested over 60% of the people who started season one of the Amazon Prime Video series actually completed it. Right now it’s looking like Amazon just lost the target audience for their show and while some may enjoy it, the vast majority of people who checked it out don’t.

A recent Disney hack has revealed financial information that shows the company is generating very little revenue per each subscriber on the Disney+ platform. Since Disney+ launched the company has been operating at a loss with only recently reporting some profit, with a few caveats. However, with this recent news it would seem the revenue generated per subscriber is not substantial, even with additional ad revenue on the Disney+ ad supported tier. This explains why Disney has been hiking the prices for the various tiers which is only a band aid.
