AI-animated satire from DOOOD What The?!. Reacts to a real news story; see transcript below.
Dooood! What the? Okay, check this out. They ship a cube that tells Nintendo to go fuck themselves. Then when Sony threatens them, they have backup plates for the PS5. But now they're canceling their Portal themed Companion Cube after all this drama. The cube was supposed to be some kind of satire or commentary but... Nobody's laughing because it looks like an actual brick now anyway. So instead of a witty product, Dbrand gets mocked for a dumb brick that lies. Duuude... What the. (sigh)
It was a cube-shaped device meant to be a commentary on tech companies like Nintendo and Sony, but it faced criticism and cancellation.
The product faced significant backlash and mockery online, leading Dbrand to cancel its release after initial hype and controversy.
Initially, it was supposed to be a satirical commentary on tech companies, but it ended up being seen as an unimpressive brick-like object.
The transcript mentions that the cube somehow 'told' Nintendo to go 'fuck themselves,' and Sony threatened Dbrand, indicating a negative reaction from both companies.
DOOOD satirizes the entire scenario by pointing out how a product intended as commentary backfired into becoming an object of ridicule itself.
