Aside from a news blip taking about Final Fantasy 7 DLC coming to PowerWash Simulator, all of the news seems to talk about cancellations of one kind or another.

The items include:

Epic kills Battle Royale game less than six months after release
CRIMESIGHT to end service on May 1
EA is shutting down Apex Legends Mobile and not giving refunds
EA reportedly cancels new Titanfall single-player game
Sony, Xbox and Nintendo are reportedly skipping E3 2023

Anything other games you wanted to play but can’t anymore? Let us know.

Hi guys.

Thanks as usual for the episode!

I had a very very sad loss in my life, so I did not find the time earlier to listen to the episode and commentating it.

I did not play anything beside some hours of magic the gathering Arena and try to do some WoW to distract me (was not successful ..)
Most of the last weeks I watched tv shows like Last of us, Terminator Sarah Connor chronicles (old one but did nit saw it) and Big little lies.

Sadly I can’t say anything to all other topics, because I don’t know all the games you talked about … sorry for that :/

Please stay healthy and keep the good work going!
Greetings,
Ralf
