As a former gaming industry insider, Scotty McG is exposing the truth behind Bobby Kotick’s Epstein connections and why the AAA industry is intentionally targeting children while abandoning gamers over 30.

If you’re sick of corporate "AI slop" and want an unfiltered, Yorkshire-delivered reality check on Ubisoft’s collapse and the real reason Phil Spencer and Sarah Bond left Xbox, you’re in the right place. We’re dissecting the "30% profit margin" mandates, the move toward AI-driven content farms, and why the industry you built no longer wants your business.

In this episode:

• The Kotick/Epstein Files: Digging into the 300 mentions and the "indoctrinating kids" emails.

• The Xbox Exodus: Why Asha Sharma’s "grocery delivery" background signals the end of Xbox as a gaming brand.

• Ubisoft’s Abyss: Why a billion-euro company is heading for total irrelevance by 2030.

• Community Hard-Talk: Older gamers being left behind and the "dopamine trap" of live service vs. expansion packs.

• The Exit Strategy: Why I’ve blacklisted the suits, moved to Linux, and why you should too.

Plus, we track this week's free games on Epic and Amazon Prime (GOG) so you can build a library that corporate suits can't take away.
