Episode 131. When we announced that video games were back last week, we didn't anticipate Sony responding by raising the price of the PS5. I guess they don't want you to play those video games. That sucks. But in other news, Masahiro Sakurai now has a youtube channel that you can go subscribe to. So there is that at least. And sadly, this is also the final regular episode of Crossplay. Kyle is stepping down and Alan and Ignacio are working on a new show. But stay tuned because we aren't truly finished just yet.

Episode127. it seemed like another slow week in video games, but then a new report from Bloomberg told of a cultural shift at Rockstar Games, makers of Grand Theft Auto.
