Zeke is out with the in-laws this week so the rare emergency TWO man stream has been called as JP and Cohh have quite a lot to talk about! Bethesda releases an awkward letter to the community about the future of their game franchises. The director for Marathon leaves Bungie, Sony can't escape the negative reaction to dropping physical media, and a discussion on moving to a more sponsorship focused stream. On the games side we further discuss Palworld and its surprisingly deep systems, Everquest Legends being wild and weird and many more!
