In this episode, I sit down with Senior Director Lindsey Bartell to talk about Secret Lair.

Gaming chaos, industry backlash, stock drops, and a wild expo recap. The Game Deflators podcast tackles the biggest stories of the week and review the cult classic Pepsiman on PS1. The Game Deflators open this week's episode with John's full recap of Game On Expo, covering standout booths, retro surprises, and the moments that made this year's event worth the trip. The discussion moves into one of the strangest headlines of the week as the FBI begins investigating several Steam titles for malware. John and Ryan break down what this means for PC players and the growing concerns around storefront security. Nintendo steps into the conversation next with its limited Dreamlight Valley themed Switch console, a release that has caught the attention of collectors and fans alike. Magic the Gathering players are frustrated once again as another Secret Lair drop is instantly scooped up by scalpers. The guys explore the ongoing tension between premium releases, collector expectations, and community fatigue. The team then examines the fallout surrounding Crimson Desert. Early reviews triggered a sharp 30 percent drop in the developer's stock, and the discussion centers on what may have caused such a dramatic reaction. Nvidia faces its own wave of criticism as players push back on DLSS 5. John and Ryan look at the concerns around performance expectations and why the community feels the tech is heading in the wrong direction. To close out the episode, the Inflation Deflation Game of the Week features Pepsiman on the PS1. The guys revisit the soda fueled cult classic to decide whether its current market value is justified.

2025: the year where Magic finally let you equip Doc Ock with Summon Materia so he could hop in a racecar and fly into outer space to fend off an attack from the Fire Nation. It's been a crazy year. But now it's time to look back over the cards, events, controversies, and changes from the last 365 days of MTG that made this one of the biggest (but also most polarizing) years in the game's history. Jimmy, JLK and Rachel discuss everything that made 2025 one to remember: the goods and bads, the highs and lows, what worked, what didn't, and what we hope to see in years to come.  -------- SUPPORT OUR PATREON: Support the show and become a Patron!
