Our bodies are weird, but we are not dying. It's just uncomfortable.. Anyways, podcast time!

Microsoft and Sony shortly after announced that they are looking into new ways to implement ads in games. Example, have a real life ad for a real life product on a billboard when you are speeding by in your fancy car in Forza. They announced this with Free2Play games in mind, where this can bring new ways for the developers to earn money. Is that alright? We discuss the potential of this and how it could go out of hand really quickly.

Wonderlands season pass starts pretty rough, with the newly released DLC not up too snuff. Well, it's probably a good dlc but not worth as one of the four content drops that will release within the season pass. Have they learned nothing from Borderlands 3 Season Pass 2? I guess not.

Bobby Kotick future at Activision is unclear, even after the acquisition by Microsoft. Will he stay after this or should he leave. Either way a lot of money will end up in his pocket.

And lastly Witcher 3 next-gen upgrade may be in trouble and we take some time to appreciate Amy Henning (co-creator of Uncharted) with her now developing a new Marvel game but also a new Star Wars game. Hurray!
