The Passing of Game Pass [577]

Look, we're noted buyers. We've been doing a podcast about our ridiculous pop culture favorites and dumb buying habits since 2011, and we're on the record as saying gaming isn't a cheap hobby. You don't play video games to save money. But SHEESH, everyone's feeling the insane prices of everything now - and we have to ask, is even the vaunted Game Pass worth it anymore? PLUS:

– PLAYED OUT: Did you know there was a PlayStation Gear store? Emphasis on the "was."

– CIVIL WAR 2.0: Not in this political climate, says Ubisoft.

– WORRIED ABOUT: Wonder Man

– LEARNING ABOUT: Blippo+ co-creator Claire L. Evans

– SURPRISED ABOUT: Progressive TV from 50 years ago.

– FREE: Steam game for first to cash in the code!
