Ever wondered how the titans of the gaming industry adapt to keep us hooked? Warner Brothers' latest gambit might just redefine engagement, as we dissect their strategic shift towards the potentially lucrative yet fickle world of live service and mobile free-to-play games. We're peeling back the curtain on what this means for gamers and developers, examining both the high stakes of successes like Hogwarts Legacy and the cautionary tales of titles such as Anthem. Plus, we're discussing the contentious topic of game delisting and its ripple effects across the gaming landscape.

Transitioning to a more poignant note, we honor the incredible legacy of Akira Toriyama, who recently passed away. His influence is indelible, shaping the world of manga, anime, and beyond, with Dragon Ball becoming a cornerstone of pop culture. Join us as we share our favorite Dragon Ball characters and debate their merits in a tribute befitting the creative genius behind such legendary games as Dragon Quest and Chrono Trigger. It's a heartfelt reflection on a man whose imagination knew no bounds, leaving a legacy that will continue to inspire for generations.

Lastly, we're switching gears and stepping into the ring to analyze the buzz around a boxing event that could shake up the sports world—Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul.  It's a mix of emotions and opinions in an episode you won't want to miss.
