AI Overload at CES and Gaming News: Battlefield 6, Discord IPO, Witcher 3 DLC Rumors

We're diving deep into the chaos of the gaming world, where the investors seem to have taken center stage, and the gamers are just left scratching their heads. Honestly, if you thought CES was all about the latest gadgets for consumers, think again. It's become the "B2B AI Bro" show, where the only thing getting showcased are products most of us can't buy, like those ridiculous RTX 5090 cards that are priced like a small car. And let's not even get started on Discord's secretive IPO plans—because who doesn't want their favorite chat app to start nickel-and-diming us, right? So grab that coffee, kick back, and let's sift through this absurdity together, from the Battlefield debates to the inevitable AI overload that’s becoming a real headache.

Takeaways:

1. Being publicly traded means putting investors first, which totally screws over customers' interests.
2. CES has become a glorified B2B AI showcase instead of the consumer-friendly event it used to be.
3. The gaming landscape is bizarre right now—how is Battlefield 2042 even considered better than Battlefield 6?
4. Nostalgia is the name of the game, as old hardware is resurrected while new tech remains painfully expensive.
5. Discord's move towards going public could mean users will face more money-grabbing tactics, leaving gamers in the dust.
6. AI is everywhere, and honestly, it's getting out of hand; we just want solid products, not gimmicks.
