Checked public records & listings for the home where Mike Rogers ACTUALLY lives… in Cape Coral, Florida. The background of this video matches perfectly.

For everything bad you could say about American culture (and it could fill libraries), we used to have a very Protestant aversion to ostentatious displays of wealth and a very republican aversion to veneration of living leaders. The Trump era has virtually destroyed both of those
ID Software's (still employed) Lead Services Programmer had some SCATHING criticisms of #Xbox following the gutting of their studio. He says:
+Impossible to make a AAA game of previous Doom standards with current employees.
+Entire important departments and disciplines at studio gone.
+Reassurances they're the same are a lie; they're half.
+Studio management given talking points on what can/can't be said.
+Reassurances are so more people don't jump ship fearing no future.
+They're not the same size as when they shipped Doom 2016, they're fewer, despite higher game production demands.
+ID Software has serious issues with how Game Pass has done.
+Poor sales is an unfair metric due to Game Pass sales cannibalisation. Game Pass means it's not the same game sales business model.
+Xbox doesn't understand art, or games or the business model.
+Nor does Xbox understand what goes into making a game.
Besides Xbox still being a disaster, the way they're moving lately has me fearing much of this is prepping more to ready studios to be divested or sold off, thus fat free and lower cost till a sale is on the cards, than it is Xbox seriously being interested in a studio like ID Software making more premium quality AAA games. We shall see.... But what a travesty either way.
