Ο Λεωνίδας δοκιμάζει ξανά την τύχη του με το Oceanhorn 2. Ο Μάνος χρησιμοποιεί Apple Pay όπου βρει κι ενθουσιάζεται. Αμφότεροι ενθουσιάζονται με το ακόμη πιο κοντινό (;) ενδεχόμενο για ARM Mac και το φημολογούμενο νέο iMac.

Η βιομηχανία προσπαθεί να διαχειριστεί το βαρύ κλίμα που δημιούργησαν οι εξελίξεις στις ΗΠΑ, την ώρα που η Tencent χρεώνεται εξαγορά που δεν έκανε καν και η NetEase ανοίγει studio στην Ιαπωνία. Η Paradox Interactive αλλάζει σελίδα τη σχέση της με το συνδικαλισμό, η Ubisoft επιμένει ότι το νέο Trackmania δεν είναι συνδρομητικό, η Konami ξαναμπαίνει, ήρεμα ήρεμα, στο «παιχνίδι» και η SEGA κλείνει 60 χρόνια με κάτι… τρέλες. Η έρευνα State Of Play για την αμερικανική αγορά θέτει σε αμφισβήτηση παραδοσιακές αντιλήψεις για τους gamers.

Ναι, ήρθε η ώρα για πρώτες, πολύ βασικές (λόγω εμπάργκο) εντυπώσεις από The Last Of Us Part II. Πριν από αυτές όμως, γίνεται πέρασμα από νέες λεπτομέρειες σε θέματα backwards compatibility, ενώ το κέφι φτιάχνει όπως πάντα: με λίγη Tencent και λίγο Randy.

Η απορία για το iPad mini γιγαντώνεται, μάλλον όπως και το φημολογούμενο μέγεθός του. Βέβαια η μεγαλύτερη απορία έχει να κάνει με το ενδεχόμενο να κοπούν τα ακουστικά από τη συσκευασία του iPhone και, αργότερα, να κοπεί και η θύρα Lightning. Έτσι γεμίζουν τα επεισόδια.

Το System Shock 3 αλλάζει χέρια, το Embracer Group απειλεί με εξαγορές, η Take-Two βγάζει λιγότερα από την SEGA και η NetEase είναι… αυτό που είναι. Η BioWare δεν ξέρει ακόμη τι είναι το Anthem πάντως, ενώ μια νέα κόντρα τρέχει στο Fortnite. Για το τέλος μένει η αβάσταχτη βαρύτητα του 10.

Η Square Enix ζορίζεται κάπως ανεξήγητα, η SEGA πετυχαίνει το αντίθετο επίσης κάπως ανεξήγητα, ενώ στην Sony όλα πάνε βάσει σχεδίου. Ο J Allard ξεμυτίζει για χάρη της Intellivision. Και όλο το υπόλοιπο επεισόδιο αφιερώνεται στο Ghost Of Tsushima και στην τέλεια καταιγίδα που δημιούργησε η Epic Games.
