So much news, but really... it's all about that Battlefield 6 reveal, right?

Good lord. Where do we start? Microsoft? Ubisoft? Nintendo? Subnautica? King Games? You can't throw a laid off developer without hitting a new sh*tshow.

Nick wanted to call this show "Slow News Week." Yeah, we wish. Microsoft slashes XBox division, closes studios, and sh*tcans dozens of games. What the hell is going on?????

There's just not a lot of good news this week. Maybe it's because it's a week after all the glitzy announcements, but yeah... bad week for gaming.

We're back. And the title? Edie asked Nick what to name the show. This is what he said. We round up what happened at the various live stream events this week (that are absolutely not E3), plus we argue about more things than two friends ought to.

Good lord, will someone just slap the president of EA. Better yet, just slap the whole board of directors. Black Panther scuttled, studio shuttered. Do these people even know what they're doing? Oh that's right: Nestling up to the teat of shareholders. That tracks. Also, Nightreign doing well despite mixed reviews, GeoGuessr dev revolt does the trick, and Atlas learns the hard way to not piss off a very famous VO Actor after you tell him there's a remake coming.

Well, we can now officially retire the banner. The Microsoft-Activision Shitshow has finally ended, and Microsoft can now officially rake in all that sweet, sweet cash with no chance of retribution. Also, Lego officially get the "Asshole of the Year" award.

For the fourth... yes, FOURTH... time now, Bungie has been caught red-handed stealing art for their games. Why does this keep happening? Well, apparently, it's an ex-employee, or so we're supposed to believe. Meanwhile, Fortnight's Darth Vadar chatbot is going about as well as you might expect, Warner Bros' gaming revenue is going EXACTLY as badly as we expected, and Kojima announces a world starting,... holy crap, it's in two weeks!!! ALEXA, BUY AIRLINE TICKETS NAO!

Beyond the fact that every publisher is now scrambling to fill the September date Rockstar just abandoned, investors are losing their shit, and the GTA subreddit gets locked down. Everybody, kiss your children and your spouses and pray we all survive!

SPECIAL GUEST: HOLY GOALIE with a review of the Oblivion Remake -- from a self-admitted Skyrim fanboy who HATED Oblivion the first time around. Good lord. The only thing as UNsurprising as the Oblivion Remake becoming a total juggernaut for gaming this month is how badly Blizzard's former chief is so INCREDIBLY out of touch with gaming! Oblivion Remake wasn't going to be a BIG DEAL?!?! WHAAAATTT?????
