Micah has been completely consumed by Ghost of Yotei and breaks down how it improves on its predecessor. He explains what’s new, what’s changed, and why this follow-up has him more hooked than ever. Brad has a public service announcement for gamers: stay away from Megabonk if you value your free time! He explains why this deceptively addictive game might derail your entire gaming schedule. We also dive into the biggest news of the week — Xbox’s shocking 50% price hike for Game Pass Ultimate. We analyze what’s behind Microsoft’s strategy, how it impacts players, and whether this could alienate their most loyal fan base. Finally, Capcom manages to fumble with a major misstep as they plan to charge pay-per-view rates for major tournaments — a move so controversial that even Street Fighter 6’s director is publicly criticizing it.
