After much delay and public arguing, Xbox and PlayStation have finally signed a binding agreement to continue bringing Call Of Duty to PlayStation following the completion of the Activision Blizzard deal. However, PlayStation's delay has bit them in the backside as the Dukes had predicted. Indeed, this deal only pertains to Call Of Duty meaning that all bets are off for the vault of other Activision Blizzard content. Tony Hawk, Spyro, Crash Bandicoot, and many more can easily become exclusives. Will they? The Dukes dive deep into this wormhole of a topic. This week also finally saw the end of an era in Xbox Live Gold as come September 14th, Xbox will transition current subscribers over to a new tier in the Game Pass offering called "Game Pass Core." With 25 games to boot and guaranteed online multiplayer, what could go wrong? Well, there is a caveat which we'll explore in a bit of a potential hustle play by Xbox.

While the Microsoft and Acitivsion merger is not offically complete, it would take something crazy weird to stop it now. That being said, Cory and Basher give their views on the merger and what kind of effects it will have on the industry .Microsoft is also officially retiring Xbox Live Gold for Game Pass Core. What was already a confusing tier of options for players has somehow gotten more confusing. What might seem like a harmless brand synergy play looks a lot more sinister the deeper you dive.

Both the Writers Guild of America and the Screen Actors Guild - American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) are currently on strike. The strike effectively puts a stop to most film and TV production in the US, and it doesn't seem like it'll be letting up anytime soon. But this is just a Hollywood problem, right? Not quite. We discuss the issues at the core of the strike and why gamers should be very much concerned with how these points play out.We'll also be talking about Microsoft's new Xbox Game Pass Core that will replace Xbox Live Gold in September, how streamers are calling Twitch's Partner Plus program "anti-community", and the new regulation in the European Union that means handheld gaming consoles will soon require replaceable batteries.Finally, class is in session with Professor Ryebread in our Gaming History 101 segment. In this episode, we're looking at the history of video game retail chains.We love our sponsors!
