Microsoft’s Terrifying New Patent | LG-Style ACR for Games & Software

Gamers Nexus keeps pulling on the same thread. Three weeks after "216,000,000 Spy TVs | The LG Smart TV Problem" went after the screen-scanning ACR built into LG televisions, Steve Burke turned to a Microsoft patent that, in his reading, brings a similar idea to games and software. The patent describes renting software with credits: single-player costs more than training mode, multiplayer costs more than both, and watching extra ads on loading screens earns credits back. One chapter heading makes the channel's view plain: "LINUX ISN'T ENOUGH TO ESCAPE THIS." It crossed a million views within five days.

The week's other upload was a far gentler review of Corsair's Warthog case, which the description calls a throwback to an earlier era of PC building, with its own 3D-printed accessories. It is doing steady business, well behind the patent video.

The LG video is still the channel's busiest at over seven million views, with the patent story and an eight-day-old piece on memory makers squeezing consumers close together behind it. For a channel built on thermals and benchmarks, the three videos carrying it right now are about who controls the hardware people already own. Subscribers are arriving at a brisk daily clip.

Among tech review channels of similar size, Gamers Nexus sits fifth by subscribers. Hayls World is running above its usual pace, while Bitwit is having a slower stretch.
