About D3ADB1T

The modern video game industry is actively cannibalizing itself. D3ADB1T was built to document the collapse.

We are witnessing an era of unprecedented corporate self-sabotage. Massive conglomerates like Microsoft have pivoted so violently toward AI server-farm prioritization that hardware manufacturing has been heavily skewed. The result? Overpriced components, stagnant technological leaps for the average consumer, and an entire generation of gamers quietly being priced out of the hobby they helped build.

We are here to track the metrics of that greed. We monitor the layoffs, the pivot to predatory live-service models, the death of physical media, and the relentless homogenization of art for the sake of shareholder margins.
