We discuss the alarming risk of game preservation highlighted by the Video Game History Foundation, where 87% of classic games in the US are at risk of being lost. We also examine the lawsuit against Activision Blizzard by Optic Texas CEO and a former star player over allegations of monopolistic practices in the Call of Duty League. Furthermore, we dissect Sony's recent announcement that major first-party PlayStation games won't release until after March 2025, and Phil Spencer's confirmation of a major Xbox Cloud Gaming feature allowing users to stream their own games in 2024.
