My streaming YouTube recap. Thank you @SEGAGuys @RetroGameBoss @myretrolifeshow for the hours of entertainment. Great for chilling after work! @Gaming_For_Ages I don’t have one for Apple Podcasts but thanks for the content to brighten up those boring mornings at work 🙌🏻

This is an older video of GameDude in North Hollywood, California, from a few years ago. I moved to Los Angeles around 2007 and discovered GameDude shortly after. I spent a lot of time there with friends, just looking around and buying retro games. So many good memories!

let's check in on the video game industry... - EA executes BioWare - Sucker Punch hit with layoffs - Ninja Theory killed a week after announcing its next game - Halo Studios gutted, Halo taken away and given to Activision - Bungie loses half its staff as Destiny dies - id Software gutted - Double Fine bombs twice, Xbox throws it overboard - Compulsion Games dumped by Xbox - Undead Labs dumped by Xbox - Arkane Lyon waiting on the executioner - Xbox torches 3,200 jobs - Insomniac's Wolverine turned into a meme - Ubisoft in freefall - Red Storm reduced to an IT department - RedLynx on death row - Ubisoft Halifax unionizes, gets killed weeks later - Ubisoft Stockholm, Winnipeg, Belgrade wiped out - Wildlight dead on arrival, game lasted 45 days - Sony kills Bluepoint - Dark Outlaw Games killed before making anything - Netflix kills Night School - Build a Rocket Boy implodes after MindsEye disaster - Spiders shut down - TiMi Montreal burns five years, ships nothing - Meta wipes out Sanzaru, Twisted Pixel, Armature in one day - Epic throws out 1,000+ - Eidos Montreal gutted - The Initiative killed, Perfect Dark dead - Monolith killed, Wonder Woman dead - Player First Games killed by MultiVersus flop - WB Games San Diego killed - Cliffhanger killed, Black Panther dead - NetEase pulls the plug on Fantastic Pixel Castle - Arkane Austin killed after the Redfall disaster - Tango Gameworks killed - Concord flops in two weeks, Firewalk dead - Neon Koi killed before shipping a game - London Studio killed - Meta kills Ready at Dawn - Take-Two kills Roll7 - KSP2 bombs, Intercept Games dead - EA kills Ridgeline before launch - Deviation Games dies without a game - Riot kills Riot Forge - Netflix kills its AAA studio before it ships anything - Saints Row reboot kills Volition - Free Radical dies a second time - Mimimi Games burns out and quits - Embracer bloodbath: 8,000 jobs, 44 studios - Unity layoffs on repeat - Activision Blizzard loses 1,900 after the Microsoft buyout - Sony cuts 900 - EA cuts 670

The State of Gaming in 2026: > BioWare shut down by EA > Arkane Lyon has until November 13 to find a buyer, risking the cancellation of Marvel's Blade > Epic Games announcing they're pivoting more towards AI acceleration after laying off 1000+ employees > Ubisoft cancelled 6 games including Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake > Mass layoffs at XBOX > The majority of id Software and up to half of ZeniMax Online reportedly lost their job > Ninja Theory is facing closure after two potential deals fall through > 35+ Game Studios closed so far > Sony announced the end of physical disc production starting in 2028 > GTA 6 having a $400 Collector's Edition Box that doesn't include the game itself > All-time high prices for gaming consoles > RAM, GPU and Storage prices also keep climbing slowly making PC gaming a luxury

So me and most of my moots on here 😆
