Our sidequest this week took us to the world of corporate mergers and acquisitions to talk about the terrible news that EA is being bought by Saudi Arabia. We also discussed XBox increasing Game Pass prices, some games to actually look forward to, and games we did a complete 180 on. It's not ALL bad news.Talk at uswww.casualsweatspod.comcasualsweatspod@gmail.comtag @joban_gh in an Instagram storysupport our Extra Life Fundraiser!

Our sidequest this week took us to the afterlife where Kojima wants to cast a ghost in his next game.

Our sidequest this week took us to PlayStation land to check out some PS6 handheld rumor, celebrate PlayStation's 30th anniversary, and look at some of the most popular PlayStation games of all time.
