Star Wars Battlefront 2 makes the comeback of a century, we have Last of Us season 2 finale spoiler free thoughts, news on who is directing the Elden Ring movie, and we say goodbye to the Switch in its last week of relevancy.

GTA 6 has been delayed, Microsoft continues to make the worst business decisions in the world, and publishers are getting real aggressive with their game prices... at least we got Doom The Dark Ages?

What sucks worse than Spectrum Internet while trying to record this episode? Very possibly scalpers and Sony's latest State of Play. The team looks at Ubisoft's financial woes, Nintendo's latest fight with Palworld, a desperate move by Warner Bros gaming division, and Fuen is still really hyped about emulators. 

Also can California save people from getting ripped off by digital media? Probably not, but let's see em tr...
