Joining Dony this week, once again returning is BmG, aka The President of The Jim Ryan Fan Club, and Grumpy Gamer Ben. The boys naturally have to discuss the surprising news that Jim Ryan is retiring from SIE after 30 years with the company, discussing his legacy, the moves to live service games, and why being a CEO gamer isn't important. Also in the news are new updates to Playstation consoles, Helldivers II gets a great price, games get the hell away from 2023 and more layoffs in the industry. 

What we've been playing includes a spoiler-free early impression of Assassin's Creed: Mirage.
