On this episode of Playconomics, Bobby and Matt breakdown the business behind your favorite video games and provide you financial context for this week's industry trends. Starting the show off with a major acquisition the boys discuss Sega buying the company that owns the Angry Bird IP. We discuss whether or not Sega has a billion dollars and why this purchase is 7-10 years too late. We switch topics to the rumored Call of Duty replacement Xdefinant. Will Xdefinant be 2023's best FPS, prob not, but honestly who knows (Bobby and Matt do). Bobby goes on a rant about how Nintendo ruins Gary Bowsers life (rightfully so? maybe, extremely ruthless? Definitely!). Matt discusses how unimpressed he is that an X-halo lead is joining Netflix gaming. The Boys close the show discuss Sony's purchase of FireHawk, and Matt explains the undisputed truth as to why Sony really doesn't want Xbox to purchase ABK.
