In this week's episode, we discuss the drama behind the Game Awards nominees and whether Elden Ring's Shadow of the Erdtree should be considered, or if it's even fair to consider it. How Black Myth Wukong shocked many of us with its nomination and the conditions in which it could take home the win. Later we talk about the Sony/Kadokawa buyout situation, and what it could mean not just for the video game industry but also for the anime/manga industry. And how no matter the outcome, it's not a good thing for us.
But this situation may run deeper than originally perceived.
