Dropped Frames

We witnessed a gaggle of Ls this week as Amazon/Twitch launch opt-out AI training on their streamers to everyone's dismay. Even more abysmal AI news: An ex-writer within Saber Interactive allegedly replaced by AI and the CEO has a very healthy reaction. Luckily we finally get our first real look at Kingdom Hearts 4 and it's launching sooner than we thought! Games this week: Continuing Big Walk, KOTOR 2, Sandustry, DIVE or DIE, ReStory and more!

Zeke is out with the in-laws this week so the rare emergency TWO man stream has been called as JP and Cohh have quite a lot to talk about! Bethesda releases an awkward letter to the community about the future of their game franchises. The director for Marathon leaves Bungie, Sony can't escape the negative reaction to dropping physical media, and a discussion on moving to a more sponsorship focused stream. On the games side we further discuss Palworld and its surprisingly deep systems, Everquest Legends being wild and weird and many more!
