In this weeks episode of Playconomics: 

We welcome back Bobby as he has finally broken free from the CIA black site that he was being held in. Somehow during his time locked up he managed to stay on top of video game news. The only thing that kept him going was the need to provide sweet sweet financial context for industry trends.   

Matt makes a plea to the SEC to keep Faze clan listed on the Stock Exchange  even though they have been under a dollar for (at time of recording) 17 days. Bobby doubles down on the fact that Faze does not provide a service/product and cannot win... Matt disagrees with his heart. 

 Nintendo gives employees a 10% raise as they are trying to keep their talent. As other tech/gaming companies are laying people off Nintendo knows it is literally indestructible and recession proof. They know that Matt will continue to buy endless copies of Pokémon/Fire Emblem/Zelda/ Metroid Prime/ and pretty much anything else that Nintendo makes at a sub par standard.   

Finally what you have all been waiting for... Matt and Bobby weigh in with their expert opinions on the Hogwarts Legacy Drama. Despite the drama Hogwarts Legacy is doing absolutely insane numbers and people (expect for Wired) seem to love the game.  

Microsoft has a choice to make... a long term deal with Sony/Nintendo/Steam to put Call of Duty on their platforms ooooooor sell off Call of Duty. Honestly it is disrespectful that no one is trying to get World of Warcraft on their platform. Please bring it to Xbox please... we are so close to WoW on console.
