In this explosive episode of Mythic Banter, hosts Rurikhan and The Act Man unpack the week's juiciest gaming controversies! From Microsoft's ruthless Xbox Game Pass price hike despite record profits (hello, $30/month Ultimate tier?) to EA's hypocritical $55B sale to Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund—performative "woke" messaging meets oil money. Is Nintendo the ultimate villain with $80 games and lawsuits? We roast the greed, debate social media bubbles (South Africa's racism myths exposed via Afrobarometer polls), and geek out on Q1 2026's stacked releases like Monster Hunter Stories 3, Crimson Desert, and Code Vein 2.Plus: Monster Hunter Wilds' Omega collab review bombing (too hard? Or just salty purists?), China's shady athlete brain data theft for super soldiers, and tangents on monarchy vs. democracy, universal morality, and why subscriptions are a scam (Adobe horror stories included). Laugh, rage, and learn why corporations always win—unless we stop paying!If you made it to the end, drop "meow" in the comments for the ultimate inside joke. Who's the greediest company: Xbox, EA, or Nintendo? Vote below!Keep Up with US:Accolonn: @AccolonnGamingRurikhan: @rurikhan
