Horses! I experienced Horses, let’s talk about it and the idea of it being banned from Steam and the Epic Game Store. I also played Metroid Prime 4, which also isn’t on Steam or the Epic Game Store. Hmmmm! VERY INTERESTING, I think? Also: what does the Warner Bros. sale mean for the future of Mortal Kombat? Harada plans his escape! PEGI rates an Assassin’s Creed Black Flag remake of some kind! Take-Two brings on some Perfect Dark developers to start a new studio. And more! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Linux adoption vs. Windows 10 vs. TPM 2.0 vs. Anti-Cheat vs. Steam Machines vs. Windows 11... where does it end? Heck, where does it start? Also: Goat Simulator 3 is broken in the right ways, an Xbox Series X was more expensive than a PS5 Pro there for a little bit, I dug out the entirety of Level 7 in S&Miner and all I have is this screenshot, the next Hitman, the next Dead Rising, and more!

Eminem comes to Hitman in a promotional opportunity that feels at least a year late! Also, Sektori seems to be very red, Timesplitters gets a cool new fangame, the Xbox 360 turns 20, Far Cry gets a TV series, Black Ops 7 sales seem down (and with good reason), and the Steam Machine is certainly not going to be like 400 bucks.

Time to take a big hit of whatever this evil red gas is and talk about Call of Duty: Black Ops 7. They say it’s the biggest Call of Duty ever, which is probably true? Kind of a big mess, really. Also: Valve is back in the box-making game and it’s exciting! The Game Awards nominees are announced, Final Fantasy XI’s dev environment is updated, and that GameTap Lady Sovereign video came up yet again. Learn more about your ad choices.
