How did the “affordable” consoles become luxury item—and why your wallet is the only protest that works. Demon Slayer’s movie made $ 600 million worldwide, is Wolverine the big Fall game of 2026 and much more.
Description

We also green‑light Wolverine’s trailer, celebrate Demon Slayer’s box office surge, and share how to vote with your wallet when hype meets high prices.
