Wings, Landfall, SBI, and the UN: Games Meet Global Influence

Alright, buckle up. This one’s a wild ride through indie games, global institutions, and some seriously eyebrow-raising overlaps. If you’ve been following Gothic Therapy on YouTube, you already know the scoop: Take Us North (the "empathetic", socially conscious game about migration) wasn’t always just Take Us North.While being showcased at the United Nations, it went by the codename American Dream. And yeah, that little detail suddenly makes the web of connections around this game look a lot messier. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5se6mRtHWTsVideo: Take Us North Exposed! Sweet Baby Inc, Wings & The United Nations! | Gothic Therapy The Indie Puzzle: SBI, Wings Interactive & Landfall Games Here’s what’s already out there: Sweet Baby Inc., Wings Interactive, and Landfall Games are entangled in a crazy network that’s as cozy as a family reunion. Here’s the funderful breakdown for anyone not familiar with the landscape:Landfall Games – […]

Lost in Translation: The Rise of Using Fear and Anime Activism

Caution: Ideology Ahead! How Activists Have Invaded Your Anime You know what I want when I go looking up anime conventions? A list of dates, times, and maybe a map so I don’t end up in the wrong ballroom with a bunch of sweaty Pokémon card traders. You know what I don't want? A fear-mongering disclaimer straight out of a freshman sociology seminar warning me not to come to America because *gasp* the “current political climate” is just too scary! Liberal Activists Using Fear in Anime That’s exactly what greets you on certain convention-listing sites like AnimeCons and FanCons, which decided that before you even look up a schedule, you first need a lecture about how unsafe the U.S. is.

Tales of the Shire and 9 Other Sweet Baby Inc. Flops to Avoid

Tales of the Shire Trips Over Its Own Hairy Feet and 9 Other Sweet Baby Inc. Flops If you’ve been anywhere near gaming news this week, you’ve probably heard the soft thud of Tales of the Shire hitting the market - and then promptly falling into the compost heap behind Mordor. What was supposed to be a cozy, heartwarming Hobbit life sim has turned into yet another cautionary tale in the saga of Sweet Baby Inc. (SBI) involvement in modern gaming. PSA Reminder: Sweet Baby Inc. For the uninitiated, Sweet Baby Inc. is a Canadian "narrative consultancy" led by Kim Belair that claims to want to help studios tell better stories through inorganic heaps of diversity, equity, and inclusion...hard pass. But to gamers who haven't been sipping on the leftist propaganda Kool-Aid, their influence has become a scarlet letter: you […]

Mortal Kombat 2 Is Doomed: How Wokeness Killed the Franchise

Once upon a time (not that long ago), Mortal Kombat 1 (2023) looked like it had a chance to reinvent the franchise in all the right ways. A full reboot. A clean slate. A chance to create a new golden age of fighting games that could compete with Street Fighter, Tekken, and whatever else the FGC is clinging to. But what did we get instead? A fatality...and not the fun kind. Image: NetherRealm Studios and Warner Bros Nuking the Fun out of Mortal Kombat | ReportAFK A franchise face-plant into a pit of DEI checklists, sterilized character designs, and creatively bankrupt “reimaginings.” And now, with Mortal Kombat 2 looming on the horizon, it’s looking less like a triumphant sequel and more like a bloated corpse twitching on the mat. Still twitching, sure...but stone cold dead all the same. Did Sweet Baby […]

Subnautica 2 Delay: Allegations of Bonus Sabotage and Woke Slop

Ah, corporate gaming. Where the graphics are real, but the loyalty is procedurally generated.Subnautica 2 has officially been delayed until 2026. Sure, game delays happen. But this one reeks of something far fishier than the leviathans. Reports suggest the sudden year-long pushback might just coincidentally align with a conveniently impossible-to-get-now $250 million bonus payout promised to developers. That milestone was allegedly within reach for 2025, right before Krafton tossed the studio’s founding leadership overboard.Funny how that works, right? From “Ready for Early Access” to “Oops, Maybe Next Year” Let’s set the stage:Just days before being shown the corporate door, Unknown Worlds co-founder Charlie Cleveland was confidently posting that Subnautica 2 was ready for Early Access back in July 2025. You know, the date they’d been building toward for years? That confidence didn’t age well.We know that the game is ready for early access […]

Reddit’s War on Free Speech: Bans, Bias, and Silencing Users

Reddit’s Woke Mod Problem Is Killing the Platform Reddit used to be the “front page of the internet.” A glorious hub of memes, mods, and mayhem. A place where free speech (and let’s be honest, a lot of stupid comments) could thrive. But lately? It’s looking more like the gated community from Get Out, complete with ideological HOA Karens slapping bans on anyone who so much as blinks in the wrong subreddit. Let’s be real. Reddit moderation has always been a bit of a mess. But the political and ideological rot is now in full bloom, and the problem isn’t just annoying anymore. It’s actively destroying discussion, chasing away logic, and turning what were once lively gaming hubs into echo chambers policed by activist mods with God complexes.

Helldivers 2 Update Is Solid: The Real Fix Was Muzzling the CMs

It’s been almost a full year since I last touched Helldivers 2. Not because I rage-quit after getting pancaked by my own Eagle 500, but because the game became a political dumpster fire last summer. And honestly? No amount of orbital strikes could clean up the mess left behind by activist Community Managers, overreaching moderation, and a dev team caught between alien factions and real-world identity wars. But here we are - Patch 01.003.101 dropped, and I’m starting to feel something I haven’t felt in a long time: hope. Maybe...just maybe...it’s time to gear up again. Let’s break it all down. Update Patch 01.003.101 - Gameplay First, Finally Arrowhead’s latest patch for Helldivers 2 dropped on June 10, 2025, and while it doesn’t reinvent the wheel, it’s got enough tweaks and fixes to warrant a look.

Gamers vs. Gender Ideology: SEGA’s Kaleidoscope Problem

“Gotta go fast” has officially turned into “Gotta go woke.” In a move that sparked confusion, frustration, and a fair bit of gamer whiplash, SEGA has joined the latest Pride Month corporate campaign by updating their logo with rainbow colors and announcing a fundraising partnership with the UK-based Kaleidoscope International Trust. What seems like harmless virtue signaling on the surface actually runs much deeper once you follow the pixelated breadcrumbs.Turns out, this isn’t just about a colorful logo or tweeting out #LoveIsLove. SEGA’s proudly aligning itself with a hyper-political organization actively working to push extreme gender ideology into international policy. So let’s break it down and talk about why gamers everywhere have reason to be side-eyeing the blue blur’s handlers these days. Who Is Kaleidoscope Trust, and Why Should Gamers Care? Kaleidoscope International Trust describes itself as an organization fighting for “a future […]

The Curious Case of Sweet Baby Inc. – Hidden Origins Unveiled?

Sweet Baby Inc. and the Ghost in the Startup Machine Let’s be real - Sweet Baby Inc. (SBI) has been a lightning rod for controversy in the gaming world, sparking the beginning of the second wave of Gamergate last year. They’re a mysterious narrative consulting firm that keeps popping up on AAA projects like your ex in your Instagram feed. They often bring with them a certain...flavor. You know the one. That distinct taste of forced DEI checkboxes, preachy character writing, and storylines that feel more like corporate HR trainings than actual games - all wrapped up in some neon purple packaging.Now, a new twist has emerged from the shadowy underworld of YouTube commentary, thanks to a recent deep dive from Gothic Therapy, and it changes everything you thought you knew about SBI.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjBXOx700SYVideo: The End of the Sweet Baby Lie: Hidden Founder […]

Boss Fights Are Essential to Games – Even If Kotaku Disagrees

Kotaku Wants You to Skip Boss Fights. Maybe They Should Just Play Games. Look, I’m not trying to "gatekeep" here - but if you're writing about video games and your hot take is “what if we just remove the part of the game that’s, you know, the actual game,” maybe it’s time to pick up a new hobby. Like knitting. Or yelling at clouds. Or writing about your fee fees in film school forums, where gameplay isn't an obstacle.This week’s subject of critique is Kotaku’s John Walker, who’s back with another article that reads like it was written by someone who spent more time fumbling with the accessibility menu than actually pressing “Start.”In his mind-numbing article advocating for skippable boss fights and his follow up piece where he attempts to defend his position, he insists that optional challenge is an affront to […]
