Video games are not a charity. They aren't art you hang up in a museum. We don't have billionaire patrons who will pay $200M for a vanity project. These things need to be commercially viable, but too many in the Enthusiast media (influencers among them) have spent so long tearing everything down (DLC, microtransactions, loot boxes, AI, etc.) that they've created a huge rift between the economics of the industry and player expectations. So tell me... Who is going to buy a business running at 3% contribution margin? To leave loss-making studios open? In case this gorgeous idea of AA (where everyone just says Clair Obscur and then can't say anything else) magically starts printing money? If that actually worked, everyone would already be doing it. The industry needs to reset its cost structures, and to do so, it's going to incur a lot of pain on places that don't actually make money. And y'all need to put a mirror in front of yourselves when you ask why... because you'll be staring right at a big reason. You've taken a particular glee at tearing down the industry over the past 3-5 years, and now you are surprised at what you see.

@StormRushGaming has been with me since my early years in Vegas. What they have done for the local community in Vegas has been amazing, and I am sure @MarioPartyKing and @darthlink127 will continue to make an impact with SRG. Our #DWYL event starts on Friday! See you there!

Only 4 days left! I wanted to take this Monday to say thanks to a couple of organizations that have supported my #ENDALZ fundraising efforts for multiple years now:

Our #DWYL to #ENDALZ charity event for @alzassociation starts in 3 days! I'll take today to talk about why I do this every year. About 5 years ago, my Grammy was diagnosed with Alzheimer's, making her one of over 7 million Americans living with the disease.

On June 19-21, I'll be hosting three different tournaments to cap off each day of the weekend streamathon as my @alzassociation #DoWhatYouLove event. Sign-up links are coming soon! However, today is #ENDALZ Day, which means you can donate to make a difference right now!

A new Tootsie Roll commercial has been released.

Tournament rules! These graphics should help you get the short and skinny of the tournament rulesets for our Fall Guys, Mario Kart World, and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe tournaments this coming weekend! Be sure to sign-up for the tournaments on Channel 3 here: channel3.gg/event/2229

From the creators of Untitled Goose Game comes Big Walk, a co-op multiplayer adventure where teamwork and communication are key. Get lost together, stay connected, and maybe cause a little mischief along the way. Coming to Nintendo Switch 2 on Aug 4. #NintendoDirect

Coming back from DR and feeling well rested now. I wanted to talk about some issues I had with the event and the pro tour as a whole. Headsets - no sound Setups - laggy Considering we’re playing for a million dollar prize pool, standardized tournament setups need to exist. It makes no sense for our lives to be harder and not know what equipment we’ll be playing on. Tell me the exact monitor, console, settings, etc., that will be played on at the tournament and I promise you a lot of us pro players we’ll practice on those exact settings beforehand. But this needs to apply for EVERY CPT event. Not trying to get used to a certain monitor one tourney and a different monitor the next tourney in two weeks. What can be done about this? @CapcomFighters

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time will be reborn on Nintendo Switch 2 in 2026. #NintendoDirect
