In Episode 85 of A Gaming Podcast, we delve into the latest developments in the gaming world:
Marathon's Controversy: Bungie's upcoming extraction shooter, Marathon, faces significant backlash due to allegations of art plagiarism. Independent artist Fern "Antireal" Hook accused Bungie of using her 2017 designs without permission. Bungie acknowledged the oversight, attributing it to a former employee, and is reviewing all in-game assets.
Nintendo's 2025 Lineup: While Nintendo has announced several titles for the Switch 2, including Donkey Kong Country Returns HD and Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, some fans feel the lineup lacks the innovation and excitement of previous years.
The Last of Us Part 3 Speculations: Neil Druckmann, co-creator of The Last of Us, hinted at the possibility of a third installment, stating he has a concept that excites him as much as the first two games. However, he also mentioned that there are no current plans to develop it, leaving fans in anticipation.

Boysober
Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want?
