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

Tired of AAA gaming drama? Join Rurikhan and Accolonn as they roast the week's biggest fails: Randy Pitchford gaslighting Borderlands players over unoptimized slop ("Every PC gamer must accept their hardware reality" – bro, what?!), Unreal Engine fatigue killing creativity, and Nintendo's overreaching patents that could sue anyone for "summoning" mechanics (RIP Palworld dreams). Plus, deep dives into Roblox's toxic kid-trap with assassination-celebrating games, YouTube's broken algorithm crushing creators, and why social media is rotting our kids' brains (pro tip: more Minecraft, less TikTok).

We break down the Nintendo Direct bombs (Virtual Boy revival? Headache incoming!), AI slop flooding your feed, and quick hits on Hell is Us, Night Rain's addictive roguelike grind, and Assassin's Creed Black Flag remake rumours. Is indie the future? Hell yeah – skip the greed, embrace the gems!

If you're battling game dev myths, hardware scams, or just need a laugh at the industry's expense, hit play. What's your take on Randy's DLSS worship or Nintendo's greed? Drop "POO GAME" in the comments if you watched to the end – Salvagers assemble!
