Dukect lounge: AAA gaming in trouble/Dashcon Wonka edition

On this week's Dukect Lounge, I talk about the recent bombshell layoffs at Sony and EA. Once thought to be invincible, the gaming industry is showing its vulnerabilities. Hundreds, if not thousands have been affected by the sudden upheaval. We'll explore the ripple effects of these layoffs, from the human toll to the potential shifts in the gaming landscape. But that's not all, folks. Hold onto your golden tickets, because we're about to delve into a sweet yet sour saga straight out of Glasgow. Picture this: families eagerly anticipating a Willy Wonka experience, only to find themselves in an industrial area, staring at a shoddily decorated warehouse. Instead of Oompa Loompas and chocolate rivers, they're greeted with disappointment and disbelief. What went wrong? How did a promised magical journey turn into a nightmare on Sugar Street? We'll peel back the layers of this confectionery calamity, exploring the motivations behind such a deceptive scheme and the fallout for those left with a bitter taste in their mouths. All that and more here in the lounge
