Leadership changes abound as Epic Games and Dauntless's Phoenix Labs see step-downs and retirements. There's also quite a few changes coming in certain games, but are they all good? The next Sims will be free-to-play, xDefiant can't pin down a release date, Wayfinder slashing inventory, Square Enix and their market share, and Runescape keeps stepping in it on the Hero Pass! Finally, did Throne and Liberty's combat update post entice you? All that and more on this week's Always Online!
