Destruction of a Convention - The 2019 E3 Data Breach
E3 is a convention that has seen attendance growth over recent years as a function of the expanding industry... but is undeniably in decline with reference to credibility, and integrity.
This most recent breach in data security (in my opinion) will be the icing on the cake that contributes to a revamped protocol and format for the expo as it struggles to regain consumer trust.
As the information breach became public, however, a far more interesting series of events unfolded. The industry is largely aware of the problematic coverage executed by mainstream games media at times, but the chosen tactic of blaming the messenger, in what appears to be roundabout protection of the ESA, highlights a broader and more serious issue.
Also, for any Spanish speakers, we have a Spanish version of the channel in development, and videos can be found at the link below.
It's by no means isolated to just the games industry, but video game publishers are some of the most prominent culprits of tax avoidance. Revenue and relative profit are consistently breaching new all-time highs... but somehow the narrative that microtransactions are necessarily else games would be priced at 80 or 100 dollars still persists.
Taxation is a complicated subject but to support the infrastructure so many of us use, and appreciate, it is necessary. Major companies using offshore accounts, shell companies and loopholes to pay far less than they normally should is not a beneficial thing.

For Watchdogs Legion I was roped in by the concept. The truth is... it sounded like something that would break new ground, but the reality... despite having one of the better marketing pitches in 2020, the game fails to capitalize on that concept.
My sadness is born of an inability to suspend disbelief and operate in this highly political open world sim without being ripped out of the lore by inconsistencies, bad lip sync, repetitive and comedic animations... or other undesirable factors.
Sadly, the game is mediocre at best and it completely loses sight of the value that character attachment and invested emotions typically bring.

Ive heard great things about this game, and always been a sucker for Open World RPG's. Time to dive in and see where it leads. Hopefully Immortals Fenyx Rising will be a great adventure.

RAID is a bit of a meme these days... but I truly had no idea that the lineage for this title could be traced back to a controlling company that is quite literally a casino slot machine manufacturer with a CEO who is the current head of the American Gaming Association.
The connection between mobile gaming and digital casinos is almost perfectly defined.

ECI (The Esports Certification Institute) has made a splash in the industry by inserting a paywall before one can "get a job", in a space that didn't actually require any sort of payment before. They claim "meritocracy, Diversity, and Inclusion" while contradicting themselves and crafting a gatekeeping barrier that only serves to HURT the gaming space, rather than help.
The industry does not need these people, and would be better served by their swift exit from the space. They may think that the product provides value, but more than likely this is yet another Esports scam, grift, or fraud. Whatever you want to call it.

(DISCLAIMER: I understand this vidoe will be provocatively political simply because of the subject matter it covers. Please remember that opinions are simply that. Opinions. Do not attack each other in the comment section and please watch the video fully before responding.)
2000 Mules, (a documentary alleging significant fraud in the 2020 election) is making waves across conservative social media circles. It is widely ignored by traditional media, and today I wanted to examine why I believe that the film is dramatic, useful, but ultimately completely empty in its pursuit of proving the existence of widespread fraud.
2000 Mules is above all else, a profitable and dramatic film... but when it comes to categorical proof?... There is a significant lack of evidence in what they show.

Outriders has begun to look like a Looter Shooters that actually LEARNED from previous examples. The loot system looks good, the customization has potential and the game is overall becoming something that has me excited to jump in and grind.
My impressions so far are that Outriders (from Square Enix) will be a game worth checking out, based on the rare demo offering that the company has decided to allow.
