COD fans begged for grounded skins and no SBMM. Then they got both… and cried harder than a Twitch ban appeal. BO7’s fake freedom, the Steam Machine’s silent coup, and the FPS genre’s scar tissue, we rip it all open. No fluff, no filters. Just raw truth, sharp takes, and the kind of gamer rage they can't patch out. Plus: AI panic, horror love letters, 2025’s worst games, and the one remake I’ll never ask for.
