Episode 406: Phil NOT of the future
February 25th, 2026 | 1 hr 6 mins

In massive gaming news, and I MEAN MASSIVE! Phil Spencer has retired from Xbox and Microsoft and his #2 Sarah Bond resigned as well, as a questionable new CEO takes the reigns. Plus Sony plans to reboot their wider Spider-manless Spider-verse after its utter collapse, no more morbin time? Mortal Kombat 2 got a Johnny Cage filled trailer and Valve is getting sued by the state of New York and as Jackie Chiles would say: "It's outrageous, egregious, preposterous!"

A week after the Super Bowl and we finally got The Mandalorian and Grogu trailer, took long enough. Also Warner Bros seems to finally relent and gives Paramount 7 days to try again. If the Simpsons ever ends, which is probably more likely than you think, it wont spend time on a grand finale. PlayStation held a state of play last week, and it was heavy on Kratos, plus if you are waiting on a steam deck, blame AI.

Well Star Wars fans can continue to argue, because Kathleen Kennedy stepping down certainly wont stop them. But something to stop to listen to, is George RR Martin telling all to the Hollywood Reporter. Plus, Fallout Season 2 is not falling behind season 1, people just don't remember how TV works. Ubisoft decided to lay a big one on the gaming industry by cancelling another Prince of Persia game, and Netflix wants to keep WB movies on the big screen if the merger goes through. That and more on this weeks episode.
