"Epic vs Apple" has finally arrived and as Tim Sweeney now famously said we're in for some "fireworks". In the first two days of the trial, opening statements have been made, arguments have been framed, and a billion dollar tech CEO has given hours upon hours of testimony. What have we learned from the strategies of both sides? What information would third parties like Sony and Microsoft prefer to have stayed private? And does Mr. Sweeney help or hurt his case? From metaverse to walled garden it's all on the table, so let's dive in. It's time to get Sweeney with it...in Virtual Legality.

"Epic vs Apple" has finally arrived and as Tim Sweeney now famously said we're in for some "fireworks". On day three of the trial, Microsoft takes center stage as VP of Xbox Business Development Lori Wright talks about walled gardens, difficulties bringing xCloud to the App Store, and just whether or not Xbox and iPhones are competitors. Wright neither falls for Apple's traps, nor rises above them like a *Phoenix*...in Virtual Legality.

Si inizia a parlare di Next Gen, ma prima di quella parliamo di gatti che cadono dal balcone. Si parla di streaming, ma prima di quello parliamo di come ci guadagniamo da vivere. Parliamo di acquisizioni probabili/possibili/auspicabili, di come Sony stia trattando PSVR, di cose dette 100 anni fa che poi la gente ci fa i remix. Parliamo di Assassin's Creed e la sua ossessione per le vecchie, e di come Spiderman sia bello solo quando fai un po' quel che ti pare con ste ragnatele. Parliamo di giochi belli e brutti, di venirci a incontrare a Lucca e di molte altre cose.

This week Reef and Kahlief talk about Sony finally getting on board with cross console play. We ask the question of "Will the gaming community stop pressuring companies for content?" after the TellTale collapse. We dig into some of the games we've been playing like Assassins Creed: Odyssey and send Tanya a fond farewell as she leaves the show.
