It’s 2016, and the first podcast of the new year is now live. Be warned, there are Star Wars spoilers like Han Solo dying and the entire plot being a rehash of A New Hope, so don’t listen if you don’t want to have your The Force Awakens experience ruined.
This week’s podcast covers the following news:
- Valve explains Steam issues on December 25
- Star Wars Battlefront won’t be doing The Force Awakens or space battles content
- New pachinko laws pushes SNK back to videogames
