Report: From Software Has an Unannounced Game, Likely Out By 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 07.18.25

25:39Tim Gettys:You have to be full on like we're going Elden Ring 2 now. Now you just keep on going backwards a little bit. Now we're just going to keep on updating this game forever. They have to be one step into we got to make another multi-billion dollar video game right now. Also the movie's happening. Of course we don't know when that's happening, but that's in the works. So you can probably see the gears turning of like, we got to figure out Elden Ring 2 by the time the movie comes out. So then we can kind of have this massive moment. And Elden Ring 2 is bigger than Elden Ring 1. That's my thought process on it.

26:08I mean, the positive is, is they have nothing but winners here. No matter which way you slice it, no matter where you want to go, it sounds all like a win, right? No matter what franchise you choose to go for, the single player bread and butter, which is your go-to, is going to pop off no matter what. And so the excitement that we could get this next year is crazy. Crazy. That's what we as gamers should probably be focusing in on here is if you weren't excited by Duskbloods, or if you didn't have a switch too, and you're not going to get one for this and you're like, Hey, multiplayer is on my thing.

26:39You're going to get a single player from soft game sometime, possibly next year is an insane thing to stay.

26:45Tim Gettys:Yeah, absolutely. We got a few super chats about this before we move on to the next story from eight bit to now super chats and says, imagine from soft goes back into their catalog and we get a remaster of a Tenchu game. Take my money. Yeah. I mean, I, they're, they are now in this dominant place where they can look back at their older franchises that maybe didn't get as much love and bring them into the forefront and boom, immediately it's going to be a top seller of the year. Just that is the dominant position. They are. I do think that Tenchu is just not on their radar though. I want them to team up and make a devil may cry game.

27:23that Devil May Cry 3 is so good. I want them to make a racing game. A racing game.

27:28Tim Gettys:What if we made a little racing game? We had a cart born and then they took that off. Yeah, it's still there. It's a different thing. Danny in the middle, 969 Super Chat says, don't disrespect Sekiro, their first game of the year winner. No disrespect here. I'm telling you. No one disrespected that one. Skyler for Slund over on YouTube Super Chat says, Do you think we'll even get an Elden Ring 2? Miyazaki said that they reached their limit for how large a world can go. Where do you go from here? I mean, I don't think it necessarily needs to be any bigger than that. Any bigger, just a different world, right?

28:04Tim Gettys:Like, you can take that world or you can remix it. Like, you've already seen it in Night Reign. Like, there's ways to... And also, Miyazaki, he'd be saying shit. You know, he'd be saying shit. Like, you know, yeah, sure. We've reached our limits. Here's the bag. Like, we can figure out something bigger. here's some feelings change yeah exactly here's some new technology we can make something bigger i mean that was coming fresh off of elden ring uh you know i'm sure the burnout was high so i can see i can see a world where they're continuing to build and make something bigger uh we have another one from the pen god dusk blood single player game blood swoon sworn oh that's interesting if they make like a a single player version of dusk bloods i feel like dusk bloods is going to be fine enough to play by itself or some version of it or is that fully a multiplayer game you're gonna step into the arena with me no matter what oh really yeah that's interesting though i like that thought process of like having ducks dust floods is like a multiplayer thing and then a single player thing that's interesting i didn't think about that a lot of super chats uh f uh sorry this is uh bode uh bode l y k also super chats and says uh the only ip not controlled by from soft is demon souls and bloodborne everything else is on the table activision has no ownership over sekuro oh i did not know that that's cool and of course last one from omega buster from soft oh another one before that from soft x lost planet collab for micah they have to learn how to shoot yeah that'd be cool they don't have to learn how to shoot they don't have to learn the uh this is one i'm going to read really quick but i don't know anything about this franchise uh nine syfe says from soft should go back to otogi never heard that one never heard the one chat let us know uh about otogi uh but i will let you know about our sponsors before we continue on for today uh we're gonna tell you a little about our sponsors and of course if you don't want to hear anything about our sponsors uh head over to patreon.com slash kind of funny and join the kind of funny membership that is also available on Spotify and Apple podcasts, but you're not.

33:18Tim Gettys:And we are back with story number two. Microsoft suddenly kills its movie and TV store on Xbox and Windows. This is from Tom Warren over at The Verge. Microsoft has suddenly shut its movies and TV store on Xbox consoles and Windows PC. As of today, you can no longer purchase new movies or TV shows from the Microsoft store on Xbox or Windows, but you will still be able to access previously purchased content on devices. Quote, downloads will continue to be available on Windows and in HD max resolution, says Microsoft, but you'll have to continue using the movies and TV app on Windows or Xbox to play the content you own rather than access it from another service.

34:05Tim Gettys:Unless you purchased movies as part of Movies anywhere in the U S Microsoft is not offering a refund for purchases either. Microsoft is now leaving it up to Amazon, Netflix, Apple TV, and the many other streaming video services to cater for movies and TV content on windows and Xbox. Microsoft will continue to provide support for any issues playing back, uh, previously purchased content and owners will be hoping the company keeps its servers online for many years to come. uh, I want to hear your take on this because you had more of a knee-jerk one than me when we first heard this one. Yeah, I was surprised at this one, Roger, as someone who has been in the Xbox ecosystem for a long, long time, right?

34:50And the Xbox was my home console. It was my everything. I was buying movies and TV shows back in the day via my Xbox, right? And so there's a little bit of a knee-jerk reaction. There is kind of like the first moment for Snowmike Mike, the all-digital purchaser now, going, oh, shit. Yeah. There goes that, right? No refunds. I'm never going to chase this. I'm not going to chase this app. I'm never going to go find out where to watch these. Those are just gone. Here's my first taste of that digital purchase. Yeah, that's going to be gone sometime. I am surprised at this. Especially when you and I were talking earlier this morning.

35:26The Xbox One being your home console. Everything at home is through this console. We've made strides past that. Where it is about the games. We want to focus on the games. it's interesting when you go to the store you used to be hit with games oh here's the top new movies and it felt like everything at all in every place at all at once but over the past what five to seven years since the dawn of Netflix app Hulu, Disney Plus Amazon Prime Apple TV there's so many apps now that I go to over the Xbox store right instead of paying $13.99 for Family Guy Season 5 like I used to now I'm going to whatever to watch those so business wise it makes sense right here's something that probably is not really that profitable people aren't coming to us to buy to play or watch movies or tv shows they're going to their apps let's stop doing this turn the server off let's move on from this on the flip side how many customers are like me who are even buying stuff right i doubt there's that many people

36:30Tim Gettys:yeah no it's it's interesting right because i remember god this is this is the first time i feel really old in a while is i remember downloading the netflix app on the xbox 360 like the day it came out and like that was a huge huge deal when xbox finally started to integrate all of these streaming platforms onto their services uh and now i i have uh movies that i've purchased through the xbox app uh and i was recently actually like literally literally two weeks ago um liens and i were on my xbox and i'm looking through i'm like oh wait i have movies on here i have tv shows on here that I purchased from back in the day when I didn't have Netflix, when I didn't have any of this stuff.

37:08Tim Gettys:I would use my Microsoft points that I had left over from buying, I don't know, a Walking Dead episode two, season one. And I would buy like, you know, Step Brothers that was like super on sale or whatever, the unrated version. I'm looking through all the things that I had. And I had the moment I was like, well, let me look through like, what is actually, that's the Netflix disc that you would get, you put into your Wii so you can watch Netflix on your Wii. That's really cool. And yeah, I remember watching, sorry, I remember looking through all of like the storefront and seeing like how many reviews are there for like the big movies that are coming out.

37:41Tim Gettys:And I, it was not many. It was like, it was a small amount of people that are reviewing these things that are even watching or buying these movies. So in my mind, right, like someone that doesn't see the business, that is not, doesn't see the numbers, doesn't see the ones and the zeros and how much this actually costs in terms of servers. I am like, oh, it's just a good to have right it's a nice thing to have extra money in your pocket you get to have oh there's a movie came out oh let me just i'm lazy and buy it on my xbox right maybe that's someone's entire platform is where they have all their movies they have all their tv shows on this one thing why not keep it up but i'm sure it costs a bunch of money i'm sure i'm sure it's very expensive to keep up you know for the you would assume thousands maybe of people that are actually actively buying things on their platform where most people have gone to amazon have gone or their Apple TVs have gone to the other services that they have that are abundant everywhere, just are not buying movies.

38:34It's such a quaint and fun idea for you to say, oh, that one person's whole entire ecosystem is right there. It's like, who's doing that?

38:40Tim Gettys:You know there is. There's a few. You think there's a – There's like – Okay. No, no, no. I'm not saying like hundreds of people. I'm saying like a dozen people in the world. There's a couple people out there that's like, this is my entire world. Yeah, exactly. Like, hey, I just – I started on here, and I just end on here. That's all it is. But the world – nobody's doing that now. It's right. Everybody's on all these different platforms and apps are getting their movies and television through different services. And yeah, it just makes sense. Right. I'm sure the numbers were small there. It was fun to go on to the store and see movies and television shows there.

39:12I thought that was always cool, but I'm coming to the console to play games. It is a games ecosystem. I'm here for the games. That's what I'm doing.

39:20Tim Gettys:Mellow fellow in chat says it's Microsoft, though. That's such a tiny blip. And I agree. I agree. I there is more that they could have done to make that more appealing and I think they tried they tried a lot of it right they tried a lot of the the cross promotion stuff they would try like hey this movie's coming out here's a game that you would like they would try doing this weird stuff on the on the front of your xbox um I also wouldn't be surprised if we hear the announcement in the next few months of like they've partnered with amazon and now you can you know amazon is now built into your xbox or something weird like that like you have you have something because they're not they're out of the business now of selling these things so why not partner with a streamer or a place that has all of these things available for you they they can still advertise and maybe they get a three percent codified whatever it is maybe it's just a deal where hey this company pays them money and now they're on the front page of xbox uh yeah of course amazon has an app on xbox i'm saying more of like an actual like integrated partnership to be like hey people are in are clearly uh okay with having advertisements for movies on their xbox so why not have somewhere someone else pick it up uh so i think that is interesting a little super chat for you norm uh super chat says physical media for the win can't disagree with you at all that is true physical media is more important but also i think about it i'm like i want to get a physical like disc or whatever for i want to buy like a blu-ray i'm like i guess i have my playstation five but like i'm never gonna use it i'm never gonna i'm just not the physical media guy i want to be i talk a big game like yeah exactly we want to be it but it's just not gonna happen story number three infamous director says he'd love to revisit the series but sucker punch is busy with ghosts of yote this is from andy robinson over at vgc the director of the infamous playstation series has said he'd love to revisit the franchise one day but suggested that no such plans are currently on the table.

41:17Tim Gettys:Sucker Punch game designer Nate Fox, who also helmed Ghost of Tsushima and the upcoming Ghost of Yotei, was asked by Game Informer if he'd like to one day revisit the action series. Fox said that while he'd love to work on more infamous content, Sucker Punch is currently focused on developing one game at a time. Quote, I would love to work on more infamous i would love to see a trilogy re-release but sucker punch is a one game at a time shop and right now we are focused on finishing ghost of yote he said uh interesting it is it is an interesting uh place for a company as big as sucker punch that is now doing one game at a time like how long do they stay doing one game at a time that's that was my first thought here is we see so all these big studios these big triple a studios specifically a little second exactly here's second team making a smaller game or an equally big game.

42:12Tim Gettys:But I know they're a very small studio in comparison. I think from the outside it's easy to say that, right? It's like, oh, you say that now, which is totally understandable. You're asking one of the team members in the middle of it all right before game day to prepare for that. And it's like, yeah, they're full head on Ghost of Yote. But what's to say after that comes out, we don't look at it and say, what if we spin up a small team? Right? We hear all about these passion projects, these small 12 to 20 person teams that are putting out games that they love. I'm sure inside of all these walls are saying, okay, well, when this ends, what can we do?

42:44What are our two big things that we want to do? What's the three game ideas that we would love to see? And they would figure it out. If Sony believed in it, they'd give them the money to make it up another studio. Yeah.

42:54Tim Gettys:Yeah. Another side of the studio. Yeah. It's, it is really, really interesting of you. I like part of me, like really appreciates and loves that a sucker punch is working on one game at a time. I think there is something special with having a studio that is fully focused on one franchise, one thing at a time, moving on, kind of having that cohesion behind everybody at the studio. But then also part of me is like, man, that is really tough when you're making a huge franchise like this, right? Because Ghost Yote is going to hit. That game is going to be big. That's going to make a lot of money. So then if they want to continue being a one-game studio, that means they're going to be working on Ghost forever.

43:33Tim Gettys:It's an interesting conundrum right there. I think it's going to be eventually they're going to have to split off a little bit or they're just the ghost studio maybe that's what they want to be but clearly there is some type of interest in Nate over here wanting to go back to Infamous wanting to potentially do something else that is outside of Yote and Tsushima so eventually we're going to have to get to the place where there is two studios or maybe just another company is working on the Infamous remaster or something but it's interesting that he says that like yeah he wants to see that infamous remaster or that trilogy re-release but to me that doesn't even scream like something that sucker punch would do like that's something that like contract yeah you would contract that one out but maybe there is reverence enough for that franchise and he cares about that franchise so much because that's his baby that he would want to do that himself like they would want to make that an internal project um yeah that's that's super interesting to me did you ever play the infamous games no i was a prototype kid.

44:30That was an Xbox. You are a prototype kid for sure. I was a prototype kid.

44:34Tim Gettys:Yeah, but you seem like a prototype kid. Prototype one and two, you know. Yeah, you seem like that type of guy. Were you a darkness guy? Oh, yeah, of course. Of course I was. Of course I was a darkness guy. This one's interesting. I'm excited to talk to you about this one. Number four, story number four. Valve pulls adult-only games from Steam as it tightens rules to appease payment partners. This is from Vicky Blake over at IGN. Valve is tightening its guidelines around adult-only content to satisfy rules set by Steam's payment processing partners, with dozens of sexually explicit games removed from the platform throughout the week.

45:13Tim Gettys:As spotted by GameSpark and shared by AutoMaden, SteamDB logs show a flurry of activity behind the scenes as Steam updated its rules and guidelines policy, making it clear that publishing certain kinds of adult-only content could violate them. Certain kinds. Let's keep that in mind, everybody. The newly added Clause 15 of the policy now explicitly states content that may violate the rules and standards set forth by Steam's payment processors and related card networks and banks or internet network providers shouldn't be posted on Steam. The X slash Twitter account for SteamDB revealed a long list of pornographic games recently delisted from Steam.

46:01Tim Gettys:It follows a public outcry earlier this year when UK Technology Secretary Peter Kyle slammed Steam for hosting a sexually explicit visual novel in which the protagonist engaged in non-consensual sexual content. However, Valve's new guidelines were criticized by some who have expressed concern over censorship and the vagueness of valve's language around its rules man this is an interesting one because immediately you jump to well what's on steam right now because you you and i love to go through the new and uh trending list on steam and you just see that you just see the wildest stuff the wild wild west over there the wildest stuff in the world and we were like okay let's see what they scrubbed and they haven't scrubbed much there's some stuff of course clearly this list has been taken down.

46:51Tim Gettys:But there's a lot of sexually explicit stuff there that is very clearly like, hey, we're trying to make an adult, adult, adult game. The Naughty Vampire and the Moaning Forest released on July 17th, 2025. So just 24 hours ago. They have about four other titles quickly right below that. But of course, it's week one. Yeah, we'll see where this goes. It's going to be a rollout. Maybe that was already through the system and ready to rock and roll. but this will be a very interesting conversation because when I go to steam and sometimes even the Nintendo eShop, I am kind of stunned and surprised at the games that I see, right?

47:27But there is a conversation of like, Hey, this is their art. Art is art. We're putting it out there and you can click on the tab that says, I don't want to see mature content. And you can hide all that from your store page. So you don't have to see it. You can click on that and buy that. If that's your kind of fancy but it is interesting of we're seeing steam here say you know what we've been working with other companies and they might not like that and we kind of have to work with them because they're processing your payment and giving us the money that you give us and so yeah maybe we can't be doing that so it'll be interesting to see rog i don't have much say on this because this comes to a whole nother level above me that's like i'll just sell the adult games or hey man i I don't know if I need a harem and in the lust card game on my, on my page right here.

48:14What was the stepsister one? What was that one? Don't tell mom. I fed my stepsister splash emoji. Yeah. I wonder what it was. That's a$10 and four cents game. Oh wow. Four cents.

48:24Tim Gettys:It's on sale. 50 % off. Oh wow. That's huge. Wow. $20. Oh my gosh. Yeah. It's interesting to me. Cause of course, yeah. The, the stuff that Peter Kyle over in the UK was talking about, that's awful stuff. It needs to be removed from steam immediately and expeditiously. but uh there is also the world where people are horny and make horny games and people have have it's consenting adults and consenting people in these stories uh and i think that is that should be fine but it is when it comes down to it uh yeah it's i think it's going to be steam doing a very specific and discerning like hey we're going to take down this thing because it has xyz that we find is is above that line but they're going to keep on these things there yeah are horny games that are sexually explicit but are not necessarily rocking the boat in terms of uh the things that they deem shouldn't be on the store so i i at first it's going to be a lot of like they're going to be picking choosing and then we're going to see in the next few weeks if the card holders are still happy or happy at all if they're not then we see the world where we just remove all porn from them from this uh site if we remove all sexually explicit content that isn't you know a nude scene in a video game but is these games like the stepsister one where you're clearly just fucking your stepsister so yeah content that may violate the rules and standards set forth by steam's payment processors and related card networks and banks or internet network providers right so these are all teams and organizations that they're partnered up with that they're working with that are all probably having a conversation every day of what they find okay don't find okay what they want associated with their companies and steam also at the same time is working with them because they're not doing all your card payment processes, right?

50:05So they want to make sure it's easy for them and easy for the group as well.

50:10Tim Gettys:So yeah, we'll keep an eye on this one for sure and see how that evolves. Talking about Steam, story number five. Valve boss Gabe Newell says he's been retired in a sense for a long time, but in reality, works seven days a week from his bedroom on his boat because he's having so much fun. This is from Vicky Blake at IGN. valve co-founder and boss gabe newell has offered a rare insight into his life talking about his days living working and enjoying life on a quote boat i don't know why it's a quote maybe it's a yacht uh in conversation with a youtuber called zalkar salib who had just 19 subscribers at the time of this interview clips went live they've since acquired several hundred more the 62 year old gabe newell uh said he's worked seven days a week from his bedroom on his super yacht there's the boat um quotation because it's fun and he still likes working asked to describe his daily routine in an interview valve has confirmed to pc gamer is real newell said i get up i work i go scuba diving work some more i either go on a second scuba dive or i go to the gym and work out then i work i live on a boat so i just hang out with everybody on the boat.

51:25Tim Gettys:That's awesome. Quote, I work seven days a week. He added, I'm working from my bedroom. As you could tell, I like working. It's fun to me. It doesn't feel like work. The things, the kinds of things that I get to do every day are super awesome. I've said it before, but when you retire, you want to stop doing your horrible job and then you go do what is most fun and entertaining. So in that sense, I've been retired for a long time. Expanding on the types of work that keeps him busy these days, Newell said, get to work with Drew and Jeremy on AI stuff or Chris on Steam stuff. In one of the companies, we're working on an aerosol pathogen detection device so you can see all the pathogens that are in the air.

52:10Tim Gettys:Holy shit. That's me saying holy shit, not game dual uh brain computer interfaces are incredibly cool and all of the associated neuroscience is incredibly cool so i just work all the time but it's not like oh my god i'm up at i'm up late at night slaving away on some stuff it's more like i can't go to sleep because i'm having fun you know pretty sick that's called rich rich dudes dudes rock yeah dudes absolutely rule dude that's called uh living deep in the golden triangle right that's the life you want to be a part of uh yeah i mean that's i think everybody wishes we could be that right so rich we live on a yacht and we're so passionate about something that is fun to us that we can pour our hearts and soul into while still scuba diving chatting with our best buds on our big mega yacht and still having fun and sleeping well at night right i mean the guy has created something where he can live that life now and so that's what it looks like and that's what could happen bro is incredible like first of all like this is insane that this is an interview from someone that had 19 subscribers gets like the most the most insane access to like the most mysterious man in the world and then also like shout out to Gabe Newell like having more money than Jesus Christ and God and everybody combined in this world having so much money just doesn't make his bed just doesn't make his bed before he does an interview doesn't even do the blur thing you don't even give a shit You don't even give a shit.

53:34Tim Gettys:He's just like, this is my life. I'm living on a boat. I'm living Dave the Diver, bro. I'm just going scuba diving. Doesn't make his bed. It's incredible stuff. Hitting the computer, having some fun. Yeah, I mean, it's kind of cool. I didn't know that he was working on all this different stuff. How exciting. Outside of stuff. He's working on AI stuff. I mean, like every tech billionaire and person is working on AI stuff in some regards. Working on Steam stuff too, which is nice. He says Steam specifically. I like that. That's interesting. I wonder how does he mean action? Maybe he knows about the adults only content maybe that's the reason he put the button on it he's like maybe he's having a conversation about it yeah yeah uh but he doesn't say valve though right like i think we all associate him with more of like the the oversight of like valve as like a creative division like half-life and all that stuff but he said specifically steam there it might just be him using it as the same word right valve and steam same thing uh but still interesting to me uh and he's working on the thing to figure out the aerosol pathogen detection device like that's wild stuff that's some that That's a big money stuff right there.

54:32Tim Gettys:The big money stuff. But Mike, I'm tired of all the big money stuff. I want something small, but I wanted something way smaller. Maybe the tiniest news I need to know about. Where should I go? Roger, I take you to our last story. The We News channel where we cover all the small news items you need to know about.

54:51Tim Gettys:Story number six. We News Shadow Labyrinth Review Roundup. This is the Pac-Man Metroidvania type deal thing going on here. Oh, snap. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. Metacritic sitting at a 74. OpenCritic, 75. PC Gamer gave it a 74 out of 100. They say, a good Metroidvania trapped in the shadow of too many better ones. Banger. Give that person a raise. That's a banger. Push Square gave it a 6 out of 10. It says, unfortunately, while there are some fun elements taken from the arcade classic and a few neat ideas sprinkled in. The majority of the game is, by the numbers, Metroidvania that doesn't quite come together.

55:33Tim Gettys:Yes, this is about what I expected. Just like, I don't know, from looking at the trailers and stuff. It looks interesting and weird, but I don't know. There's so many Metroidvans. I feel like we're now in a super saturated Metroidvania landscape right now. So unless you're making some of the goats, I don't think I want to play it. But this one has Pac-Man. I guess. This is not the Pac-Man I want, though. They sent over some really cool merch and stuff, but like it's not the pac-man i want i just want pac-man yeah it's like if they put tetris in here it's like i just want to play tetris i just want to play pac-man i don't want whatever i get it even something cool but like i don't that's not what i want for this ip we met pac-man once we did that the pac-man bro that was sick that was sick fbc firebreak is getting a major update in late september remedy has detailed a lot of what they're going to do with fbc firebreak and a blog post on their steam page uh really quick they did talk about how they're overhauling the way that gun progression works, which was a huge negative that Mike and I had throughout our review time.

56:30Tim Gettys:And they also said that they're going to, from what I gathered, they said that they're going to have like every, all the guns are going to start off like pretty, like you feel good using them. Like it's not like they're super underleveled, like they start off now. So I'm willing to try this out again. Maybe we should schedule a stream and try it out when the new update goes live. And I'm hoping that game turns around because I feel like that team, there's something there. It just needs some tweaks. So I hope that there's an audience that comes around to them. From VGC, Mario Kart Tour, the mobile game from Nintendo and DNA is getting its first update in years this month.

57:01Tim Gettys:The pair have announced the Sunshine Tour will roll out starting on July 22nd with content designed to celebrate the recent release of console game Mario Kart World on Nintendo Switch 2. Dream of Another launches October 10th. Pixel Junk Eden 2 for PS5, PS4, and PC launches October 10th. and Nintendo Switch Online new feature closed play test returns from July 28th to August 10th and that is the end of Wii News. That is the weird MMO thing that they're going for that people have already leaked from under NDA but people just start streaming it. I didn't know about that. Yeah so that's out there.

57:41What is that like a Roblox? A PS Home?

57:42Tim Gettys:I don't even know from what I've seen. Like chat you can let us know but like yeah it seemed like you're building stuff with people so yeah it's interesting. We'll see how that goes. It seemed pretty early uh before uh let's get into some super chats i'm gonna look around a little bit we did answer some before so i'm gonna try to find some more uh guitar hero arrow says fmc equals felden ring 2 nice that's good that's good that's good that got me uh nine cypher writes in again and says otogi was in the original series by from soft like sekiro but with magic and destructible environments. It's sick.

58:19Tim Gettys:That's awesome. Okay. Oh, we got the trailer over here. Oh, damn. Is that a fish guy? Giving original Xbox vibes. Yeah. Yeah, I like that. It's giving even Otogi. Damn. Video games, cool, man. God. Oh, cool game. Yeah, they should remaster. You know what? You want this? Now this is going to be yours? You're going to ride for this one? This is going to be my niche thing. I'm going to start saying this thing. I'm going to start saying this, then people will be like, wow, you're smarter than you are and i'm like i'm not i stole it from soft games well i know from soft games i watched a trailer once um a lot of jokes about gunan a lot i'm gonna skip over those i'm sick a lot of jokes of vergunan uh okay uh bode uh in super chat and says look i know this is a hot take given the context of the games that i got hit by this but i really don't like the precedent the sets yes it starts with these weird games but it's just a precedence that we can deem anything taboo at their will i get it i like i'm not i'm not i i understand that that idea here uh but at the end of the day this is a private company having to deal with uh the the literal thing that keeps it alive and that is the credit card companies and the people that are that are allowing the the card swipes to go through so they're at the will of them and yes ideally they would have the press the thing of like we are standing by our artists of course we'll take anything down that has sexual assault or anything awful in it but if people are making horny games let's just let them have horny games like who cares that would be the ideal world but that is not specifically when you see the credit card holders who have stopped payments on porn websites and uh marijuana um establishments that are legal uh it's that's they that is literally their will and that is their right to do it and now steam is at their uh they gotta play ball they gotta play ball they gotta play ball so it sucks and yes ideally that's what it would be but i understand the sentiment and it sucks uh mike we're gonna go to your wrong when i pick it up really quick i can't find it i'm scrolling i'm scrolling i'm scrolling but you know what i don't think we got anything wrong i think we're perfect yeah we learned that uh and we're perfect man we learned that sekiro is fully owned by from soft no more activision so that's always good to have in your back pocket to know uh
