<p>On This Week's Episode the eternal consolidation of the video game industry continues, as Sony buys Bungie to stick it to Microsoft, and the New York Times purchases current flash-in-the-pan Wordle. The latest NFT bungle comes from an unlikely studio. EA decides to give it another shot at overextending a beloved studio with too many projects. And we discuss what the hell a Call of Duty movie with Dwayne the Rock Johnson even looks like. Plus, a eulogy for Hyper Scape, gone too soon.</p> <p>This Week's News Stories:</p> <p>Sony buys Bungie, tries to feel relevant: <a href="https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2022-01-31-sony-buying-bungie-for-usd3-6-billion"><u>https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2022-01-31-sony-buying-bungie-for-usd3-6-billion</u></a></p> <p>NYT Buys Wordle for some millions of bucks: https://www.theverge.com/2022/1/31/22911274/wordle-new-york-times-free-word-game-acquisition</p> <p>Respawn is going all in on Star Wars: <a href="https://kotaku.com/star-wars-announcement-2022-jedi-fallen-order-apex-lege-1848416767"><u>https://kotaku.com/star-wars-announcement-2022-jedi-fallen-order-apex-lege-1848416767</u></a></p> <p>Halo TV Series: <a href="https://www.cnet.com/news/halo-tv-series-gets-explosive-first-trailer/"><u>https://www.cnet.com/news/halo-tv-series-gets-explosive-first-trailer/</u></a></p> <p>Rock the Dwayne Johnson is in “a video game movie,” allegedly COD: <a href="https://ftw.usatoday.com/2022/01/the-rocks-mysterious-video-game-movie-is-reportedly-call-of-duty"><u>https://ftw.usatoday.com/2022/01/the-rocks-mysterious-video-game-movie-is-reportedly-call-of-duty</u></a></p> <p>It Takes Two getting movie adaptation: <a href="https://www.destructoid.com/it-takes-two-next-in-long-line-video-game-adaptations-film-tv/"><u>https://www.destructoid.com/it-takes-two-next-in-long-line-video-game-adaptations-film-tv/</u></a></p> <p>RIP Hyperscape: <a href="https://www.onmsft.com/news/hyper-scape-video-game-to-completely-shut-down-soon"><u>https://www.onmsft.com/news/hyper-scape-video-game-to-completely-shut-down-soon</u></a></p> <p>NFT BS of the Week: Worms this Time: <a href="https://kotaku.com/worms-team17-nfts-metaworms-scam-blockchain-1848452059"><u>https://kotaku.com/worms-team17-nfts-metaworms-scam-blockchain-1848452059</u></a></p> <p>This Week's Scores:</p> <p>Sony 12</p> <p>Bungie 20</p> <p>Hyperscape: -7</p> <p>Ubisoft --2</p> <p>Aggro Crab 20</p> <p>Team 17 --19</p> <p>Mr. Wardle: 18</p> <p>New York Times 11</p> <p>Resapwn 6</p> <p>EA: - Better Hope you get purchased by sony and -23</p> <p>Halo TV Series -4</p> <p>Paramount Plus -1</p> <p>The rock 6</p> <p>COD 1</p> <p>Hazelight 8</p> <p>Theme Music: Parasite from Tunetank.com</p>
