Sony loses its battle in court, Electronic Gaming Monthly has a successful Kickstarter and Dig Dug II isn't as bad as you think it is.   This week on the Game Deflators podcast John and Ryan cover a trio of topics that you won't want to miss. First up, they dive into the Electronic Gaming Monthly (EGM) Kickstarter campaign—breaking down what the iconic gaming magazine aims to achieve and what they hope the success generates in the future.   The guys then tackle the news that Sony has lost its lawsuit against Datel. They discuss the implications of this ruling, and why a lawsuit was never going to be a success from the very beginning.   Lastly, the Game Deflators review Dig Dug 2 for the NES. They explore the game's mechanics, its evolution from the original, and whether it holds up in today's gaming landscape.
