It seems like every time we turn around, something new — and both good and bad — is going on in the industry. So this episode is a bit of a hodgepodge, where we touched on everything from the EA purchase to the fall of Game Pass, to our thoughts on Switch 2 so far to what we think the future of Nintendo Pictures will be. The industry is in a state of flux and we covered a lot of ground in our discussion, so grab a snack and settle in.
