The Death of AAA? 5 Games That Faked It & Failed in 2025

2025 was supposed to be the year of the titans, but it turned into a graveyard of broken promises. From the shocking cancellation of *Perfect Dark* (and the truth about that fake trailer) to the bizarre conspiracy theories surrounding **MindsEye**, we’re exposing the biggest lies the gaming industry told us this year.

In this video, we investigate the **Top 5 Biggest Gaming Disasters of 2025**. We dive deep into the numbers, the leaked calls, and the financial collapses that defined the year:

❌ *MindsEye:* Why did Leslie Benzies blame "saboteurs" for his game's 38 Metacritic score?

❌ *Perfect Dark:* The "gameplay" we saw in 2024 was a lie.

❌ *FBC: Firebreak:* How Remedy’s multiplayer shooter dropped to 7 concurrent players on Steam.

❌ *Wonder Woman:* The $100M loss that killed Monolith Productions.

❌ *Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2:* The $37 million write-down that proved development hell is real.

Is the AAA gaming bubble finally bursting? Let’s look at the receipts.
