This week, the gaming industry is going through some major shifts, and we’re here to break it all down!
- EA is out here claiming that Veilguard could have been a hit—if only it had been a live service game. Are they just coping, or does this reveal a deeper problem with their strategy?
- Nintendo just took a legal L, losing a battle over "Super Mario" to a supermarket of all things. But the bigger bombshell? Nintendo has finally admitted that emulation is legal—what does this mean for game preservation?
- Xbox is making power moves, officially bringing its exclusives to PS5—does this signal the end of console wars, or is something bigger at play?
- PSN just pulled the rug out from under PS4 players, cutting off free monthly games. And if that wasn’t enough, a PSN outage in 2025 has players questioning Sony’s online infrastructure.
With so many changes happening, what’s the future of gaming looking like? We break it all down in this jam-packed episode—tune in!
