July 14, 2023 CORE 374: We've Had Our Phil
The latest updates on Microsoft's acquisition of ABK, with the judge approving the deal's progress in the United States. The FTC has appealed the ruling, and negotiations continue with the UK.

Player ruining thousands of hours of work in WoW, the endangered status of classic video games, the upcoming open beta of Palia MMO, and HBO's The Last Of Us receiving 24 Emmy nominations. There's also mention of a potentially interesting wrestling game called WrestleQuest.
An email from a listener asks Beau about his opinion on Diablo 4, considering the time commitment required, and a text message wonders if the next Nintendo Switch will be a folding portable console, making it more appealing based on its smaller form factor. AND MORE!
