Since the beginning of this week, the major news has been the Xbox acquisition of Activision, Blizzard, King. Should we as gamers be celebrating or not? Also, Sony Playstation putting out 1 million more PS4's since the PS5 demand can't be met at this time. Does this make sense for PS5 production moving forward?

DFG Podcast #57 (NFT's, what are they and do we want them in our video games?)

NFT's have been the news since the beginning of 2022! Ubisoft, Square Enix, Sega and others have either jumped on board or are testing the waters. Those waters are yours and mine video games. But before we protest NFT's let's take a closer look at them to better understand what they are and if they have a place. Tonight, we have a member of our DFG Community, @MangryGamer, joining us to talk about and educate us on NFT's. To be clear all opinions are just that, opinions and not advice, console, suggestions, or attempts to have anyone pursue, purchase or otherwise participate with NFT's in any capacity for any reason whatsoever!  Let's Keep it Drama Free!
