The first Pure Dead PlayStation that came to you LIVE on YouTube went off without a hitch...apart from Dony accidentally clicking mute on his mic 3 seconds before his intro! It's a new age for the podcast where Dony copies the cool kids and takes the show live, but alas regular podcasts avenues are not forgotten either! 

This episode, we couldn't talk finances and business decisions without everyone's favourite gaming Aussie, David Faulkie and he was sad he missed a couple of episodes so Luke Steele begged to get back on. Neil Druckmann made the headlines discussing the future of AI, the boys discuss the upcoming Sony corporate update as well as their moves into mobile gaming. Davie explains the thinking behind PlayStation moving to two CEOs, IGN monopolises the games media much to Dony's disgust and Stellar Blade bucks the new IP trend of bombing, by potentially getting some DLC and maybe even a sequel. Lastly, the boys, rather Faulkie, discussed the latest SIE finances and explain why PlayStation will be bust within 12 months...

The same dynamic trio as last episode, Dony, Luke and Ben get through another light news week, not before though, Ben gives his thoughts on the Portal six months in. Xbox games are showing success on PlayStation across the board, but should PlayStation be concerned by this? Embracer splits into three companies, Luke gives his legal expertise on this matter, could there be light at the end of the tunnel for them? Housemarque has teased some Returnal content, though that seems to have fallen flat in what could merely be a comic series, it doesn't stop the boys waxing lyrical about the incredible game that is, Returnal. Lastly, Stellar Blade is out, all three played over the weekend and they give their early impressions on the game. It would also be remiss not to discuss the latest gaming discourse which comes in the way of apparent censorship of a certain bunny outfit in the game.
