Geek Origins tells the untold origin stories behind the games, consoles, and companies you grew up with. Every video is a deep-dive documentary into how a geek empire was really built — the rags-to-riches founders, the betrayals, the scandals, and the spectacular collapses behind the biggest names in gaming and pop culture. Nintendo, PlayStation, Sega, Atari, Rockstar, LEGO, and more — the human drama and business warfare your childhood never told you about. If you love the nostalgia but you're old enough to want the real story behind it, this is your channel. New documentary every week.
