CORE 374: We've Had Our Phil

•

The latest updates on Microsoft's acquisition of ABK, with the judge approving the deal's progress in the United States. The FTC has appealed the ruling, and negotiations continue with the UK. If the July 18th deadline is missed, a significant fee will be owed to ABK, but an extension is likely as both parties want the deal to happen.

Scott's current relationship with FF16 and his games of choice. Jon shares a video and a message to play, while Beau talks about playing as a rogue in Diablo 4 and experimenting with TaleSpire and Dungeon Alchemist.

Player ruining thousands of hours of work in WoW, the endangered status of classic video games, the upcoming open beta of Palia MMO, and HBO's The Last Of Us receiving 24 Emmy nominations. There's also mention of a potentially interesting wrestling game called WrestleQuest.

An email from a listener asks Beau about his opinion on Diablo 4, considering the time commitment required, and a text message wonders if the next Nintendo Switch will be a folding portable console, making it more appealing based on its smaller form factor. AND MORE!
