🎙️ In Episode 110 of the DMG Gaming Podcast (August 4, 2025), Grant and Ed go deep on the phenomenon that is Stellar Blade. With over 1 million PC units sold in 72 hours, the hosts credit its success to Eve’s seductive design, tight gameplay, and Eastern market domination. They slam critics like Paul Tassi and PC Gamer for downplaying its merit as “just for Gooners.”
