EA officially goes private, what does that mean for the studios under their umbrella? Megabonk sells over 1 mil, World of Warcraft Midnight set to change how raids work moving forward and living in the AI hell dimension. We then glaze Hades 2 and Ghost of Yotei and brace for another stacked month of video games! 0:00 - Intro2:30 - Race cars12:55 - XBOX raises prices42:50 - EA goes private55:50 - Megabonk sells 1 million copies59:00 - World of Warcraft removes combat mods1:27:20 - The Age of Lies1:33:50 - Hades 21:40:00 - Ghost of Yotei2:29:00 - October games2:35:10 - Baby Steps2:51:20 - Housekeeping/ShoutoutsSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Do you remember the 21st night of September? Because we do on this very packed episode! Unfortunately the state of the world is encroaching on everything and everyone and that includes video games as payment processors have changed their guidelines to vaguely singling out adult content on Steam and other storefronts. Counter-Strike 2 found a way to get passed gambling laws, and Valve apologizes to an indie dev studio. We love Borderlands 4 despite itself. Our thoughts on Dying Light 2, Megabonk, No, I am Not Human, and a spoiler review of Cronos! 0:00 - Intro1:00 - 21st of September9:00 - Convergence19:00 - Let's Build a Dungeon26:00 - Payment processors attack on video games37:00 - Counter-Strike 2 circumvents gambling laws43:00 - Steam apologizes to a dev studio50:00 - Borderlands 41:15:00 - Easy mode?1:22:20 - XBOX raises prices again1:30:40 - Krafton vs Subnautica update1:32:40 - Paradox changes Bloodlines 2 DLC1:35:20 - Dying Light 2: The Beast1:54:20 - Megabonk2:08:20 - Jump Space2:10:10 - Valve update2:16:30 - No, I Am Not Human2:26:10 - Eclipsium2:33:50 - Cronos (+spoilers)2:48:40 - Dead Reset2:54:50 - ShoutoutsSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
