201 Discord Gets a New CEO and Oblivion Gets a Facelift

After a week of tariff confusion, exceptions, backpedaling, and wait-and-seeism, Nintendo announced that Switch 2 pre-orders are back on the table with no price increase for the console itself. Peripherals are another story.

So, given the uncertainty, economic climate, and lack of Switch 2 launch games, will you be pre-ordering?

Plus, we tackle the breaking news of Discord's CEO stepping aside in favor of an Activision-Blizzard money man, with an IPO looming in the near future. The Internet is bracing for "enshittification," but given Discord's current business model, how worried should we be? And what could Discord become in the future that would justify kowtowing to public shareholders? We make our armchair predictions.

Also: That new Elder Scrolls Oblivion remaster sure does look purdy.
