Isn't it funny that thanks to Sony we have protection for emulators? 26 years ago, they literally sued Connectix over an emulator and helped establish that making one isn't inherently copyright infringement.

Europe decided to take a huge hummer and hit its own game industry as hard as possible:

This could legitimately end Stop Killing Games.
The EU Kids Act is the biggest threat Stop Killing Games has ever faced.

We now know the exact numbers on Mindseye and Build a Rocket Boy and it's much worse than Concord, for example:
1. Over the years, the company has spent nearly £300 million (approximately $400 million) of investor funds while appointing representatives from major investors to its board of directors. They called back reps in 2025 and over £80 million are now the official debt.
2. Total revenue from the *Mindseye* project was less than £4 million, yet documents explicitly list a figure of only around £3 million. In other words, the game recouped just 1% of its budget.
3. In the most recent year, payments to the small board of directors still totaled £1.9 million; of this amount, approximately £800,000 went to an unnamed board member (most likely Leslie Benzies). This occurred after the game itself had clearly failed.
4. Documents indicate that the company "planned and was required to launch a successful new product in 2026 to remain profitable." The only releases were expansions for *Mindseye*.

The End of Mindseye (The Biggest Video Game Failure EVER)
That's it. Mindseye is over. Build a rocket boy entered administration, basically bankruptcy. The game is dead, the company is dead. Everyone has been laid off. The studio recorded losses over $300 million dollars. The game generated at most 4 million dollars…

The AI Bank Run Has Started
Oracle has sent a force majeure notice to get out of paying for a 2.45 Gigawatt data center in New Mexico that has no electricity.
Investors are asking for 13 to 15% of their money back from AI private credit funds every quarter. The funds are paying out…

Most of the loans made for AI are not being paid 😁 https://youtu.be/I3Pw2EjCFns
Just a small hint on why (with one exact data center requires as much power as homes in Houston, Dallas, and Austin COMBINED).
