The Playconomics Boys recep the biggest Gaming Industry news from the previous week and provide you SWEET SWEET Financial Context for these Industry Trends. Forspoken's sales numbers are finally out and Square Enix confirms that not only did this game review bad; it caused a developer to dissolve back into it's parent company. After being shown at the Sony State of Play, Suicide Squad is now being delayed in order to attempt to fix fundamental issues that were glaring low points during the presentation. Is this game redeemable at this point? How much money have they thrown away trying to make this game? Starfield FINALLY gets a release date (Sept 6th) and a dedicated showcase in June. Starfield being one of, if not the most anticipated games over the last few years will 100% be a make or break title Xbox this generation. Finally we close the show with the latest updates on the Microsoft/ABK acquisition and discuss the best and worst case scenarios. Bobby looks into his crystal ball and sees 2 futures, one where the deal goes through and one where it does not and things look starkly different for ABK depending on the outcome. Also we have to explain that Jim Ryan's comments about trying to block the merger are obvious because Microsoft is a direct competitor
