The The Sims 4 contest is still going on this week, with the winner to be announced in Episode 471. The crew gets back to discussing news, but as is usual, it’s a light week in July.
This week’s news items include:
- Starcraft Remastered is coming in August in 4K
- Star Wars Battlefront 2 loot boxes spark pay-to-win fears
- Only main player will progress in Far Cry 5 story
- Destiny 2’s getting rid of random perk rolls for loot and the response is divided
- Nintendo Switch Virtual Console will be the only way you can play certain Super Mario games
Again, The Sims 4 Contest is only eligible for US entrants.

Unlike Japan, Nintendo has not invaded the entire home consumer market here in the United States. This leads them to believe there is room for both the DS and the DSi here in the United States. The DS will no doubt be a cheaper alternative to the DSi and the DSi isn’t going to make its way to the US for some time now (well into 2009 we hear).
I want me some Sims 4 swag!
