Facebook Gaming was supposed to be the social media giant's answer to Twitch. Four years after its launch, however, it's a weird wasteland of diet pill ads and sketchy viewership stats. What went wrong... aside from, well, everything? We look at the head-scratcher that is the current state of Facebook Gaming, as well as discuss what it would take to turn the service around.

We'll also be talking about how Elden Ring sold over 12 million copies in 18 days, the upcoming opening of Super Nintendo World at Universal, Atari's $1.5 million purchase of the videogame database MobyGames, and Reggie Fils-Aime's claim that he left GameStop's board because leadership refused to explain their plans for turning the company around.
