Happy Monday!
Well it happened, Sony finally discussed its long rumored, and long awaited three tiered subscription service. Sadly though the news came in like a faint breeze, and managed to not generate any hype around the reveal. Somehow though We manage to find things to be excited about and find ourselves eagerly awaiting the full detailed reveal. On other news we hear more about everyone's favorite game to knock, Abandoned. Apparently the team and Blue Box Games is now deleting old Twitter posts, that discussed game information. Sadly the ESA has decided to cancel the E3 convention this year, not only the physical shows, but also the digital. So much to discuss this week, so lets just get into it!
