Diablo Immortal despite criticisms and controversy over its egregious pay-to-win monetization mechanics is raking in the money. New reports suggest the free-to-play dungeon crawler is making over one million dollars a day.

In other news, Bungie and Netease are working on a mobile game, Square Enix delays Forspoken, there’s a new Gwent game, and Fall Guys hits 50 million players.

This week’s 5-Second Review reminds Brian of how he used to have to play Monster Hunter uphill… both ways! In the Coming Soon section, there are a lot of games you probably haven’t heard of but they actually look kind of neat.

Thanks for watching everyone and have a great weekend!
