Halo Infinite MP has been out a week, and I have some thoughts. Meanwhile that rumored WarnerBros Smash clone is real, and its spectacular. The external pressure on Activision is growing, and internal pressure isn't simmering down either. Meanwhile Lucasfilm is setting its sights on the future of the franchise, and TV seems to be the path. The MCU is setting up multiple secret projects, and Ghostbusters: Afterlife is a sequel worth your time.

New Amazon CEO recommits to gaming, as we all watch and wonder why. The PS5 may have a dualsense problem, while gamers debate the morality of the nemesis system patent, and CD Projekt Red faces ransomware. Earnings call news: F2P for both Ubisoft and Blizzard, and of course a new CoD, and the future of Anthem may be in clear view. Scalpers in the UK may be a think of the past, as us scalpers focus their attention on a new target. CW lays down some renewals, and Lucasfilm cuts ties. Rumors about a highly requested scene circle the SnyderCut and we say goodbye to a Star Trek Villain. That and more.

Will the delay of Halo Infinite hurt the Launch of Series X? Probably, Nick has some thoughts. Apple and Epic are duking it out in a battle for the ages, who will come out on top. Star Trek is boldly going but not as soon as you might expect, while Agents of Shield goes above and beyond expectations in its finale. Tron 3 is happening but at what cost? And movie theaters are opening but is it worth it? That and a hell of a lot more.
