A job ad has indicated Rocksteady are making another live service game, but surely not after Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, right? We dicuss the news as well as Xbox flip-flopping on game prices, Battlefield making a comeback and the Nintendo Switch 2 smashing sales records.

Update: We mistakenly associated the WB job ad with a role at Rocksteady. Whilst the podcast conversation has been changed, the podcast title and description have been updated.
