EA Seeks Buyout, Nintendo Splats Cheaters, and PS Plus Updates! feat. Aaron Piper | GRP Episode 43
Good morning gamers, and welcome to the Gamer's Roast Podcast! Josh is out this week finalizing his move, so Aaron is back on the show to talk about a whole heap of gaming news! We start out with a new coffee all the way from Milwaukee: the Pabst Family Coffee! Then, we take a look at some questionable Sony decisions regarding their brand-new PlayStation Plus service rebrand. Then, Capcom may have dropped some hints that they're reviving old franchises, so...more Megaman? Then we take a look at Nintendo's interesting solution to an epidemic of online cheaters as they prepare to release Splatoon 3. And finally, it looks like EA has been seeking a buyer recently...could this be the best move for the company? It's always a blast to have Aaron on the show, and this was a fun one! Thanks for joining us!
