Black Ops 7 launching to such weak numbers wasn't in the cards despite knowing it will have good competition this year, but then again, it having such blatant and poor use of AI slop also wasn't in the cards.

Happy #WorldStatisticsDay from your Insights friends 🤓!
Numbers are cool, sure! But it’s about how those numbers solve problems, unravel stories, and help find answers.
Never underestimate the power of reliable, quality data!

A lot of people are (understandably) focused on the Saudi Arabia and Kushner part of this, but the far bigger immediate impact will come from the new private EA being on the hook for $20 billion in debt. That could mean mass layoffs, more aggressive monetization, and other big cost-cutting measures

It’s official: EA is going private.
The leveraged buyout will be financed by a staggering $20 billion of debt, which likely means some *aggressive* cost cutting is ahead for EA in the coming months and years.

$20,000,000,000 of debt financing is a shockingly large number to have to service, while also transitioning from a public to private organization and all the implications that has on the people that work in it.
We've obviously never seen anything like this at this scale in the industry before.

Free to play shooters are notoriously tough to get into. Arguably the only successful releases in recent times have been Marvel Rivals and Delta Force. Delta Force's growth is really incredible to see even with a very mixed rating on Steam.

1. Mycopunk: Imagine Helldivers 2 but you are fighting gunk monsters, combined with borderlands gunplay and risk of rain characters. Chaotic fun with friends and a cute revive system.

On the surface it may seem like it's an unforgiving game following the footsteps of Sekiro-like combat and cool art with a furry protagonist. It is all that but also a great soundtrack, some really memorable bosses and a surprisingly heartfelt story. Little nod to Old Boy goes hard too 😉

Despite the negative sentiment, I'm sure Mario Kart World will be a top seller, a system seller in fact. Nintendo ain't dumb they would've calculated that they can get away with charging higher and did so accordingly. They ain't blinking first. It's up to consumers to vote with their wallets.

Ludwig and Michael's Japan series has ended! Definitely the most fun I had watching YouTube in a long time, possibly forever. It had such a therapeutic effect. Two dudes traveling across Japan on motorcycles, no map, limited Japanese skills and no smart phones. Props to the entire team involved ✌️
