This time around we sit down and talk Gaming Trends. What trends are there? Are they beneficial or hurting the industry? Remember the trends that were a thing, put have now more and more gone away? So much to talk about and we both talk about the good trends, bad trends and what potential trends that coould dominate in the future.

Join us to discussing this topic, hoepfully it makes some sense.

On the newsfront, Xbox having release dates for upcoming games, Halo may be in trouble for a while and Phil Spencer mentioning the disapointing year 2022 of Xbox.

We also try to figure out of The Day Before is a real game and sadly that E3 is still dying, since nobody is joining them...
