Is Ubisoft Looking To Sell? - The Home of Play Podcast ep.112

Happy Monday!

 

This week Chris And I ask the question, is it good business to mandate two hour game trails for all future games coming to Sony consoles? Ubisoft might have wasted to many resources on NFT's and failed multiplayer games, and are now possibly looking to Sell. Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order won't be releasing this year, and might be dropping the fallen order name. And Sony is hiring for game preservation, but its not as interesting at it sounds.  Looks like we got another packed show this week ,so lets just get into it!
