Today it's now been 7 years since Etika passed away. Time has gone by so fast but the Joycon Boyz still continue to think about you every day. Rest in power Etika, we will never forget the impact you had on all of us. Please take care of yourselves. #JOYCONBOYZFOREVER🖤🦋
They started small. Little price bumps here, a subscription there. Said it was inflation… supply chains… whatever excuse fit the headline that day. I watched as they turned gaming—from something built on passion—into a machine. A machine fueled by drained wallets, locked content, and players chasing experiences they already paid for.
Saw it happen. Saw ‘em normalize it.
Now look at it. PlayStation 5 prices going up years after launch. Games costing more. Subscriptions stacked on subscriptions. And they still want more.
They’ve already taken ownership of what we play, how we play it… now they’re coming for why we play.
This ain’t about nostalgia. Ain’t about ‘the good old days’ of gaming. This is about control. About a system that keeps tightening its grip until playing becomes a privilege instead of a right.
You think it stops at a price hike? It doesn’t. It never does.
This is a player’s war. Against a system that feeds on loyalty and gives back less every time. Against the slow death of creativity, buried under monetization models and quarterly targets.
And yeah… if that means pushing back—boycotting, calling it out, refusing to play along—then that’s what it takes.
Because if we don’t?
One day you’ll boot up your console… and realize the game was never meant for you anymore.
You don’t see it yet.
But you will.
Eric Dane has delivered a final speech to his daughter and the world.
“I hope I've demonstrated that you can face anything, you can face the end of your days, you can face hell with dignity.”
February 2026 is being dubbed the "Perfect Month" because there are four exact weeks that start on a Sunday and end on a Saturday, fitting perfectly into four complete rows on a standard calendar.
This hasn't happened since 2015, and won't again until 2037.
