An Enshittification Revolt
EPISODE 410: Bordeaux.
For many content creators, the whole point of success is to sell out.
For a kid who dropped out of college to stream himself playing college football video games online, developing a business partnership with the makers of your favorite franchise — College Football 27 — would be the dream.
And for James Bordeaux, it was.
But then it wasn’t.
So we called up one of the key figures in the #CFBPlayDontPay movement — which we just broached, last week, with Friend of PTFO and “Old Stoner” Dan Soder — about why a college football content creator fomented a consumer revolt.
And how to fight the enshittification of everything.

Thank you for covering this Pablo. The ea sports title department has been less than good for a while now but what we are seeing in NCAA Cfb 27, madden, and FC27 is next level terrible.
Imagine being the businessman thta says I’m going to take the most profitable department we have, the department the entire company is based on, and I’m going to set fire to it and all the goodwill it generated. Thats what kushner and MBS have done here.
