I don't usually believe much of what's on the front page of The Economist, but sometimes it's 50% or 25% accurate, but they were right about what's happening in the video game industry

1.- The falling graph signifies an impending economic crisis for the video game industry, and it may also mean the industry is no longer profitable because it's only making 2 cents

2.-The video game industry is already in the midst of global tensions, and it's understandable that the industry will enter a trade war very soon

3.- From what I understand, the brain connected to DualSense could be PlayStation not wanting to get involved in global tensions despite its bad decisions, and wanting to save the industry from global influence.

What did you understand from that part of The Economist cover?

Yes, the Logical Framework Methodology and results indicator matrix is affecting our generation xd

I don't believe in conspiracy theories. I've analyzed the 2030 Agenda because I study Public Administration and Political Science, and the Agenda promises that everything will be digitized in order to combat global pollution and climate change. That's why many countries are creating laws to digitize in different ways, and because paper and disks are considered polluting, and one of the objectives reveals digitization as a top priority

Nioh 3 hasn't announced any DLCs yet, while Code Vein 2 has already announced its first DLC.

The Entertainment Software Association (ESA) recently mentioned that the IP rights for Destiny and Destiny 2 might still involve certain agreements with Activision. However, the gaming community and the Stop Killing Games movement are currently more focused on another issue that has generated controversy.

The ESA has argued that maintaining active servers for games that have already completed their content lifecycle and official support represents a considerable cost. It has also pointed out that creating community or private servers to replace these services can conflict with intellectual property laws and the companies' terms of service.

Meanwhile, Stop Killing Games believes this stance reflects a broader problem within the video game industry and has used these statements as an example of why greater measures are needed to preserve games once they cease receiving official support.

It's worth noting that the ESA is comprised of major industry companies, including Microsoft (Xbox), Electronic Arts, Riot Games, Amazon, and Epic Games. Bungie was also a member previously. These companies actively contribute to the organization's operations.

Meanwhile, companies like Sony Interactive Entertainment (PlayStation), Square Enix, and Nintendo maintain membership relationships with the ESA, although some observers believe they have shown a more open stance toward certain proposals and others unrelated to video game preservation, such as those championed by Stop Killing Games

With this controversial decision, the ESA authorizes Activision to shut down the Destiny 1 servers and disable its contribution to the Destiny 2 servers

I feel that Hoyoverse will be in our favor, but they're in the mode of the 10 IPC stones; they're in favor, but they have their own agenda

Every time I see them on X/Twitter, the radical fans remind me so much of Zack Snyder's cultists. All that's missing is for them to start doing these ridiculous things like the Snydertards. All that's missing is for them to make a song singing it, and this is an example of that

Cultist's Zack Snyder Anthem

Oh, what if they do something and get out of control, asking Netflix, Epic Games, or Riot Games like the Snyder fans did, asking Netflix to buy the rights to the most failed DC universe known as the Snyderverse (James Gunn's isn't doing well either). Fanaticism, and especially exposing their addiction, is very bad, and if they evolve like Zack Snyder's cultists, the Destiny community is weak.

Despite Mexico's current political crisis, caused by you-know-who and their associates in high places, Irais Reyes, a Mexican congresswoman and avid gamer, has played numerous games, with her favorite franchise being Horizon. She opposed video game taxes and now seeks to establish video games as a mind sport, aiming for Mexico to be the first country in the world to officially recognize video games as a sport. She will proceed in stages, starting with esports, while ensuring that all video games are recognized as mind sports in the next stage. She will also seek out more experts to gain greater support from gamers. She will continue promoting the GameOn initiative, and it would be ideal if Stop Killing Games contacted her to bring their citizen-led gamer project to Mexico.

Would you agree that video games are mind sports?

With the livestream for the new Honkai: Star Rail update scheduled for Friday, I have a rather interesting theory about Welt Yang.

In the promotional image for the livestream, Welt appears more serious and prepared to use his full power. Therefore, I believe he might finally be able to use his abilities as the Sovereign of Anti-Entropy once again, and even the remnants of his power as the Herrscher of Reason.

My theory is that by unleashing a significant portion of that power, he could attract the attention of all the Aeons and their Emanators. They would realize that a being from an external universe has arrived in the Honkai: Star Rail universe, confirming the possibility of the existence of other connected universes, including those of other HoYoverse games.

From there, the Aeons could act through their Emanators and armies, opening rifts between universes to invade them or extend their influence over them. This could become the beginning of a grand multiversal plot within the HoYoverse games.

Of course, this is just my theory, but I think it has a lot of potential.

I don't know if PlayStation's PR team is on Reddit, but if they do, it would be the first video game company to invite a Mexican World Cup icon to their offices.
