Sony and Xbox seem to be duking it out this week to see which one can make the most baffling, business-killing decision. First it was Sony's surprise requirement that Helldivers 2 would require a PSN account to play on Steam (a decision it quickly walked back due to player outrage). Next it was Xbox's mystifying announcement that it's closing a handful of studios, including Tango Gameworks (makers of Hi-Fi RUSH, one of the best games of 2023). We discuss these mind-blowing moves and wonder... do these two gaming behemoths have any clue what they're doing anymore? We love our sponsors!
