Joining Dony this week, once again returning is BmG, aka The President of The Jim Ryan Fan Club, and Grumpy Gamer Ben. The boys naturally have to discuss the surprising news that Jim Ryan is retiring from SIE after 30 years with the company, discussing his legacy, the moves to live service games, and why being a CEO gamer isn't important. Also in the news are new updates to Playstation consoles, Helldivers II gets a great price, games get the hell away from 2023 and more layoffs in the industry. What we've been playing includes a spoiler-free early impression of Assassin's Creed: Mirage.TIMESTAMPS00:00 Intro02:47 A confession from Dony08:45 Ben actually buys EA Sports FC for The Switch15:00 BmG is still playing Starfield18:05 Phantom Liberty continues to impress27:00 Dony & BmG give their early impressions of Mirage42:50 A new Sony streaming service comes to consoles50:45 You can now rate your favourite games 53:30 Helldivers II price confirmed57:45 Banishers is banished from 20231:03:00 Housemarque gets a new house1:06:10 Horizon Complete Edition is out now!1:12:20 Team 17 the latest to layoff staff1:22:00 Hollywood strikes could soon hit gaming01:25:20 Goodbye England's Rose: James Ryan
