26Welcome to this week's episode where we dive into a variety of gaming topics, starting with the much-anticipated confirmation from Nintendo about the Switch 2's backwards compatibility.

We delve into the potential impact of this decision and what it means for the future of cloud gaming.

We also tackle the controversy surrounding the latest Dragon Age release, The Veil Guard. Despite mixed reviews and heated debates over its content and direction, we examine whether the game has been a success and discuss the broader implications for the industry.
In this episode, we touch on various gaming trends, from the cultural shifts affecting game development timelines to the role of media and algorithms in shaping public perception. Join us as we navigate the complex landscape of today's gaming world and share our thoughts on what's next for gamers and developers alike.
