Randy Pitchford apologized? If you want to call it that. We give our thoughts on the possibility of $80 games that simply won't ever be worth that kind of money. Meanwhile the industry turned on Studio 33 and instead of giving them a pat on the back they decided to point the finger of blame. And a former BioWare dev decided to share a little bit about how the industry apparently sees their gamers as well as his own thoughts on those of us who are critical about the industry as it is now. Finally we also talk about some anime we've been watching and give our recommendations.

Additionally we talk about some Anime we've been enjoying, a prequal for a beloved TV show that recently finished up, and a game whose franchise should just stop. 

Hey Geeks, this week is a rarity. We talk about politics. Now, now, nothing extremely serious. Just the fact that USAID gave money to publications to bat down Gamergate 2.0. That's right, the government thought they'd throw their hat into the arena of gaming affairs. As you can guess their understanding is about as extensive as Kotaku's so you can see where this is going. Anyway we also talk about a few games. Give our personal takes on Civilization VII. Catch up on some issues that cropped up involving Assassin's Creed Shadows. We even discuss some movies we're genuinely excited for.

Black Myth: Wukong got nominated for GOTY, but it doesn't seem like it has much of a chance of getting it from what we can see.
