Nintendo of America just scored a HUGE legal victory against console modding and piracy. A U.S. federal court hit Ryan Michael Daly — aka “Modded Hardware” — with a $2 million judgment and a permanent injunction that completely wipes out his modding business.From the MIG Switch and MIG Dumper to pre-hacked consoles and pirated games, Daly’s operation has been shut down, with all devices seized and destroyed. Nintendo argues these tools cause “irreparable harm” by fueling piracy and damaging consumer trust.But here’s the bigger question: is this about protecting games, or controlling players? This case could reshape the future of modding, homebrew, and even game preservation.What do YOU think — is Nintendo justified, or did they go too far?👉 Don’t forget to SUBSCRIBE for more Nintendo Switch 2 news, gaming drama, and industry breakdowns.#Nintendo #Switch2 #NintendoSwitch #Modding #GamingNewsDISCLAIMER: This video contains opinions and humor based on publicly available information.

I was wrong about Star Wars Outlaws on the Nintendo Switch 2 — but here’s the bigger problem.Reports from PAX West made the game look like a disaster, and I reacted to that coverage. But now early access players are saying it actually runs surprisingly well… for the Switch 2. That doesn’t change the fact that Outlaws is a mediocre Ubisoft game, overpriced, and another example of Nintendo fans settling for less.Should we really be celebrating a $60 port running at 30fps? Or should we demand more from the Switch 2 and stop praising mediocrity? Let’s talk.👉 What do YOU think of Star Wars Outlaws on Switch 2? Worth it or just Ubisoft slop?

Asmongold is now being dragged into streamer drama after Peach blamed him for the harassment she’s been facing.The problem? Asmongold never told anyone to go after her — but Peach is still framing him as the reason behind the backlash. Fans are pushing back, saying she’s twisting criticism into harassment just to deflect.This raises a bigger question: Why do so many creators try to weaponize “harassment” when they’re just getting called out?What do YOU think — is Peach genuinely upset, or just trying to put Asmongold in the crossfire?Drop a comment 👇 and don’t forget to subscribe for more breakdowns of the biggest streamer and gaming controversies.#Asmongold #StreamerDrama #PeachDISCLAIMER: This video contains opinions and humor based on publicly available information.

Star Wars Outlaws is supposed to be Ubisoft’s big Star Wars game… but the Nintendo Switch 2 version is already looking like a total disaster. Reports from PAX West 2025 show massive performance problems — frame rate drops as low as 10 to 15 FPS, stuttering gameplay, and Ubisoft refusing to let anyone record footage. That’s a HUGE red flag.In this video, I break down why Star Wars Outlaws is running so poorly on Switch 2, Ubisoft’s history of launching broken games, and what this means for the future of third-party support on Nintendo’s next console. From Elden Ring struggling on Switch 2 to Ubisoft canceling an Outlaws sequel before it even started, the warning signs are everywhere.If Nintendo can’t deliver stable performance for games like this, Switch 2 owners could be paying full price just to be beta testers. And Ubisoft? They’d rather hide the truth than admit Star Wars Outlaws on Switch 2 is a broken mess.What do you think — can Ubisoft patch Outlaws into something playable, or is this game doomed from the start on Nintendo’s weaker hardware?👉 Watch the full breakdown, and don’t forget to comment your thoughts below.#NintendoSwitch2 #StarWarsOutlaws #Ubisoft #Switch2Leaks #NintendoDramaDISCLAIMER: This video contains opinions and humor based on publicly available information.

Steam has officially rolled out age verification requirements in the UK—forcing players to use a credit card just to view mature game pages. This isn’t just about “protecting kids.” It’s about surveillance, censorship, and control.Platforms like Xbox, Discord, and YouTube are already following the same path, and the UK’s Online Safety Act could spread worldwide. Gamers are rightfully furious, and lawsuits from 4chan and Kiwi Farms show that not everyone is willing to comply.In this video, I break down what this means for Steam, PC gaming, and the future of digital platforms, and why this could be a Trojan horse for bigger censorship across the gaming industry.👉 Do you think this will stay in the UK, or spread to the rest of the world?

Nintendo’s “physical” Switch 2 game key cards are a scam.Japan’s National Diet Library just made it official: they won’t archive or preserve these releases, because the cards don’t actually contain the game data. That means they aren’t real physical games.Since 2000, the NDL has been preserving Japan’s gaming history with discs, cartridges, and physical releases. But Switch 2 key cards? They’re being treated like digital-only games — disposable, unpreservable, and destined to vanish once Nintendo’s servers go offline.This proves what we’ve been saying all along: key cards are glorified DRM tokens. They’re not true physical media, they don’t belong in any serious collection, and now even one of the largest game preservation institutions in the world agrees.Are you still planning to buy Switch 2 key cards?

YouTube just rolled out its AI-powered age verification system — and it’s a disaster.This isn’t about “protecting kids.” This is data collection, surveillance, and control.From forced ID uploads to AI wrongly locking out users, this system is already a mess… and it’s only going to get worse.And it’s not just YouTube — Spotify, Xbox, Discord, and Steam are all pushing similar systems. Platforms are removing games, restricting videos, and forcing you to hand over sensitive personal info just to watch content you’ve been watching for years.This is how censorship spreads — and it affects EVERYONE, no matter your politics. If AI moderation keeps growing like this, we’re headed straight into an internet we don’t recognize.⚠ Follow me on alternative platforms NOW — links in description.#YouTube #Censorship #AI #YouTubeCensorship #AICensorship #AgeVerification #OnlineSafetyAct #YouTubeNews #YouTubePolicy #1984 #DigitalID #InternetFreedomDISCLAIMER: This video contains opinions and humor based on publicly available information.

Elden Ring has finally landed on the Nintendo Switch 2… and it’s a complete disaster. The frame rate tanks, the visuals look downgraded, and fans are asking if the Switch 2 is already in trouble.Is this really the “next-gen” Nintendo promised us, or is Elden Ring on Switch 2 proof that the console can’t handle true AAA gaming?From constant frame drops to embarrassing textures, this port is making players furious — and raising serious questions about Nintendo’s future with third-party titles.Would YOU play Elden Ring on Switch 2 in this state, or is this the first big red flag for the new console?👇 Drop your thoughts in the comments, hit subscribe for more Nintendo Switch 2 coverage, and don’t miss the next update on this growing disaster.#EldenRing #NintendoSwitch2 #GamingNews #Switch2 #FromSoftware #NintendoDISCLAIMER: This video contains opinions and humor based on publicly available information.

Sony just shocked gamers with a massive PlayStation 5 price increase in 2025 — including the rumored PS5 Pro hitting nearly $749.

Steam just changed how reviews work—and if you’re not paying attention, you could be buying censored or broken games without ever knowing the truth.Here’s the deal: Valve will now filter reviews by language. By default, you’ll only see reviews in your account’s language. Sounds small, right? Wrong. This “tweak” essentially hides global backlash.When a game gets censored or players overseas start review bombing to warn others—you won’t see it anymore. The score you see will look “clean.” Like nothing happened.🎮 Example: Wu Chang: Fallen Feathers. That game was censored after pressure from Chinese nationalists. Gamers worldwide left negative reviews to warn people. Under this new system? Most Western players wouldn’t even see that outrage. They’d just see a glowing score, buy the game, and never know.Valve claims this is about “cultural differences” and “translation issues.” But let’s be real—this is about burying criticism and sanitizing AAA reputations. Indie games? They fly under the radar. But the biggest releases—the ones with the most backlash—get protected.⚠️ Here’s what you NEED to do:Don’t trust the default scoreSwitch back to the old system in your Steam settingsCheck ALL reviews across languages and hit translateBecause if a game is being censored, manipulated, or screwing its players—you deserve to know.What do you think? Is this change protecting gamers from “noise,” or is it censorship in disguise?

The UK’s new Online Safety Act is already being abused. Offcom just tried to hit 4chan with a £20,000 fine plus daily penalties unless they censored their platform. But instead of backing down, 4chan’s lawyers fired back with a brutal legal response—reminding the UK that free speech in America isn’t up for negotiation.This isn’t just about 4chan. If governments can censor them, then every website you use—Reddit, X, YouTube, even Discord—could be next. The “protect the kids” excuse is just a cover for global censorship.👉 Do YOU think 4chan will win this fight against UK censorship?

Roblox is a kids game. Millions of children play it every single day. But somehow, a journalist thought it was a good idea to sexualize it — and people are rightfully disgusted. This kind of take is not only gross, it completely misses what Roblox actually is and why kids love it.What do YOU think about this? Is Roblox being unfairly attacked again, or is this just clickbait journalism gone too far?#Roblox #RobloxNews #GamingDramaDISCLAIMER: This video contains opinions and humor based on publicly available information.

You can’t make this up — PETA is now coming after Mario Kart World because… the cow has a nose ring.Yes, while the rest of us are enjoying the new Nintendo Switch 2, racing around as a scooter-riding bovine hero, PETA has sent Nintendo an official letter demanding the cow be redesigned. Apparently, the idea of a fictional animal wearing a pixelated ring is too offensive for 2025.In this video, we break down the ridiculous letter, roast PETA’s logic, and ask the big question: Is there anything they won’t complain about?💬 What’s next — cancelling Donkey Kong for “primates in forced labor”?
