Sorry for the audio issues in this episode. In this episode, the guys discuss Ubisoft’s defense against The Crew lawsuit (you don’t actually own your games), Bowser telling Nintendo fans “Don’t want the Switch 2? Just buy a Switch 1!”, Marathon won’t require a PlayStation Network account on PC and Xbox, and Endless Legend 2 comes to Steam Early Access in summer 2025.

The news includes:

Former Blizzard president says ‘I’m not sure where Diablo is going’
Xbox announces June showcase event
PlayStation legal issue delays Vampire Survivors cross-save on PS4 and PS5

Let us know what you think.

If you’re wondering what happened to Episode 405, it was recorded, but Jonah’s power supply self-destructed, and wasn’t available til Wednesday, and by then it was too late to post it. (It will be posted at some point in the near future.)

Instead, check out these week’s news:

Afro Samurai 2 removed from online stores, players get refunded, episodes 2 and 3 canceled
Activision apologizes for Nuk3town pre-order mix up
PlayStation 4 is getting PlayStation 2 emulation, Sony reveals
Electronic Arts doesn’t want to “nickel and dime” gamers with microtransactions

Question of the Week: Do you or have you pulled videogame all-nighters on weeknights?

World of Warcraft Security Check: One-Time PasswordsWorld of Warcraft Security Check: One-Time Passwords

Nobody wants to get in the way of a hardcore gaming addict. The last thing an addicted user needs to know is their account has been hacked, their weapons and armor have been sold and all of their money is gone.

World of Warcraft is a timeless classic, timeless because you can play it forever, and classic because it’s now going on 4-years old. This MMORPG, like all MMO’s, is account based and your account describes everything about you, your gaming habits and your character traits. It’s the next greatest bundle of important riches aside from your bank account. Shouldn’t it be just as secure?

For a mere €6.00 (or USD $9.46) you can purchase this international electronic device which allows you to press a button to get a secret key to login; the key code is only good for one use so the owner of the device is the only one whom can login to the account.

This system is similar to the PayPal device or some Government Contractor remote login accounts for working from home.

The device is not yet available, but shall be showing up in the “near future.” If you’re a WoW player, consider this because $9.00 is a great piece of mind for hundreds of hours of grinding safety.
