What the sad tale of Percy Verence reveals about Elon Musk's psychology
Musk's gaming antics have relevance to those of us wondering about his influence in politics, media, and popular culture.
Here’s a story that will have probably passed under your radar, from a world that doesn’t get a great deal of coverage in the media, despite being one of the biggest industries across the globe, worth an estimated $450 billion in 2024.
In December, the video game Path of Exile 2 was launched for the PC, PlayStation 5, and the Xbox. It’s an action role-playing game, which for those of you not familiar with the genre, is a game set in a fantasy world, comprising characters who are druids and hunters, warriors and magicians. You view the game from a high vantage point, looking down on a dark and often gruesome world, as you lead your character through a series of dungeons, fighting enemies, collecting loot, and then “powering up” to unlock new abilities and spells.
