Could Insomniac Games' worst nightmare redefine cybersecurity in the gaming world? We're unpacking the explosive aftermath of the ransomware attack that's rocked the gaming community, from the leaked 10-year master plan to the unauthorized first look at Wolverine's alpha gameplay. Our discussion doesn't shy away from the darker implications, diving into the stark realities of personal data breaches and the industry-wide wake-up call on digital vulnerability. We're not just about the drama, though; we also take a hard look at how companies might fortify their defenses against such sophisticated cyber threats.

This episode isn't all serious business—we get animated over Phil Spencer's hints at a more inclusive Game Pass future and debate what treasures and traps that might hold for gamers. We also tee up for a quirky detour into Garfield movie coming in summer 2024,  swinging into Naughty Dog's  multiplayer game cancellation.  Therefore, everyone strap in for a rollercoaster ride through the peaks and valleys of gaming industry news, insights, and debates—a truly unmissable episode of The Gamer Traffic Show.
