I also discuss the ESA's cancellation of E3, Sony's New Playstation Plus Upgrade plans, and why fans are angry at Pinball FX.

This episode is perhaps the biggest one ever. I take a look at the Intellivision Amico, from its announcement to the failed fourth Crowdfunding campaign. But before that, I recap Sony's State of Play this past week. I know I'm hella late, but it's worth it.
Couple of things, of course I butcher the Ars Technica Writer's Name. Also, during the part where I mention the smartphone comparison, I incorrectly say DS lite. I meant Switch Lite. Although for all we know, the DS lite's horsepower could have been on par with the Amico.

This is gonna be a pretty short one. I go over the news revealed for WWE 2k22, along with rumors involving Call of Duty 2023 being delayed and Sony launching its own equivalent to Game Pass.
Corrections: When I talk about Call of Duty Vanguard, I say sales when I should have said Reception.
Also, I mention Diable 2 and Overwatch 3 towards the Activision Segment. I meant Diablo 4 and Overwatch 2.
