Ready for some spicy gaming talk? Well, that's what we have in this latest episode, as the crew discusses the frustration about the PC version of Stellar Blade and PSN woes, again. We can't forget Nintendo's recent change to its EULA and what that means for anyone who owns a Switch or the Switch 2. Finally, gamers and expensive games, and who ultimately wins when prices get hiked up.
