Dodging WWE 2K26 and Rediscovering Real Fun in Retro Gaming

from The UnPODpular Opinion · host Marcus Hilson

In this episode, I break down why skipping WWE 2K26 ended up being the best decision I could’ve made. Instead of forcing myself into another disappointing release, I went back to what actually feels fun — retro wrestling games, classic titles, and the freedom that comes with emulation. I talk about what modern games keep getting wrong, what older games still get right, and how stepping away from the hype opened the door to enjoying gaming on my own terms again. If you’ve ever felt burned out by yearly releases or pressured to buy the “new thing,” this one’s for you.
