Episode 241 - Xbox Dodges The CMA As Well As They Dodge Wrenches

As the winds begin to settle and it looks like Xbox gets closer to acquiring Activision/Blizzard/King, the UK CMA throws a wrench by blocking the acquisition deal! Joy! What does this mean for Xbox?

We also dig in to the fascinating news that PS5 is selling better than PS4, which forces all those scummy scalpers to sell their overstock systems at a loss. We dig in to Patron write ins where we take a look at new contenders in the mobile cloud gaming market, discuss the games we can't help but revisit, our lack of playing the Street Fighter 6 demo, and slaying demons around Christmas time.
