With so many inexcusable problems in recently released blockbuster games, has the golden age of gaming come and gone? Will major games ever redeem themselves, or are we stuck with pathetic, half-finished cash grabs? We ponder this question and also discuss the heat rising around Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick, Kotaku’s sad take on the Kyle Rittenhouse verdict, IGN’s blatant paid advertisement for Battlefield 2042, sexualized costumes in Arcane and Cowboy Bebop, and more.
