Xbox says game pass revenue is up, so is it profitable? Wolfenstein is heading to TV, and EA says no to $80.

  <itunes:subtitle>Sony really does not have a gamer first mentality and if you think they do, stop drinking the Kool-Aid. Xbox shows up to play at TGS, Ubisoft faces its second strike in a year, Blizzard is making some interesting moves, and California wants gamers to be informed. Plus, Lionsgate faces another flop, but their is light on the horizon, DC seems to be seeing what sticks, and Hollywood loses some greats in the span of a week. ALSO, go watch Mr. McMahon on NETFLIX, because STONE COLD SAID SO!</itunes:subtitle>

  <itunes:subtitle>You read that correctly, the state of the gaming world is unreal, as in Unreal Engine. As the GDC is fully underway, there was still a lot of news to get through. From Epic games having their state of Unreal, to Saber Interactive breaking free from Embracers embrace, to the failure of the PSVR 2, and Star Wars Battlefront Classic Collection taking a nosedive. Also Popeye, The Cat in the Hat, and The Never Ending Story are all making some kind of comeback, The Acolyte gets its first trailer, and Dune Pt. 2 continues to sizzle as the box office. That and a whole lot more. </itunes:subtitle>

The Nintendo Switch is getting hit with a lot of yesterdays games, and you know what, that's ok, cause its getting some new ones too. Meanwhile, expect the super bowl to have a ton of teases for future entertainment, including Amazon's Lord of the Rings, and Disney+ says screw it and finally announces the release date of Kenobi. Also Lord &amp; Miller gush about MIB 23 the movie that never was, the Oscars half snub DUNE, and Tom Holland is just trying to play every PlayStation Mascot at this point. </itunes:subtitle>

  <description>If that headline doesn't give it away, then you are listening to the wrong podcast, hehe. GTA6 is finally announced, but don't expect to hear about it again for quite some time. The Nintendo Switch is getting hit with a lot of yesterdays games, and you know what, that's ok, cause its getting some new ones too. Meanwhile, expect the super bowl to have a ton of teases for future entertainment, including Amazon's Lord of the Rings, and Disney+ says screw it and finally announces the release date of Kenobi. Also Lord &amp;amp; Miller gush about MIB 23 the movie that never was, the Oscars half snub DUNE, and Tom Holland is just trying to play every PlayStation Mascot at this point.
