In this week's episode, we discuss the achievements in the handheld console hacking scene; specifically, two notorious ports which have been released recently. Sonic 1 and 2 (2013) received an unofficial Switch port, as well as Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas getting a WIP port on the PlayStation Vita (done by the legendary TheFlow none the less). We also discuss the recent court proceedings in the EU concerning geoblocking games by Valve and other publishers. Finally, we touch upon the recent report that Valve might be working on new games and why this isn't actually real news.
