Then, we discuss Media Molecule's downsizing and shift to a new project, leaving Dreams behind. Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard is a focal point as we explore CEO Satya Nadella's excitement about the gaming industry and the company's historical connection to it. Ubisoft's elusive "Skull and Bones" game faces another ambiguous delay, and we round off with Sony's revamped PS5, with a notable requirement for an internet connection to use the optical drive, and Microsoft's reorganization of Xbox gaming and marketing leadership following the Activision Blizzard acquisition.
