Remember a time before microtransactions? Yeah, neither do we. That's why the news that Microsoft and Sony are considering including ads in Xbox and Playstation games has us more than a little nervous. Is this intrusion into our games the inevitable future? Or do gamers still have a voice that rings stronger than corporate greed?

We'll also be discussing the apparent leak of a Nintendo Switch Game Boy emulator, the newly announced Sonic Origins, and the upcoming Streets of Rage film that's being penned by the creator of the John Wick series.

Finally, we're joined by Andrew Borman of the Strong National Museum of Play to talk about gaming history, preservation, and art.
