Save Scum Society

We’re two lifelong gamers who grew up playing video games and still believe they can be great. Right now, the industry is in a rough place, dominated by broken releases, aggressive monetization, and safe, recycled design. This channel takes a closer look at how things got this way, and what we’ve lost along the way.

We focus on:

Game reviews (modern and retro)

Retrospectives on classic titles and game series

Video essays and commentary on industry trends

Honest discussions about what’s working and what’s not

Our goal isn’t to be negative for the sake of it. We want to call out the greed and bad practices that are hurting the industry, while also celebrating the developers who continue to push for creativity, quality, and player respect.
