This past week, Xbox seemed to rule the gaming news cycle. In addition to their Developer Direct presentation, which gave us a wonderful look at some upcoming 2023 releases, they provided us with some juicy details about the Activision-Blizzard FTC complaint as well as an update on their most recent financial quarter. In addition, it appears like Naughty Dog is hanging up the Uncharted series' controllers, Blizzard fired a worker for failing to reach company quotas, and Amazon appears to be encroaching even more on the Tomb Raider series. Additionally, we at The Lambency Show have a really exciting announcement.

Grab a beer and kick up those feet, cause it’s time for another episode of “This Week in Gaming”.

Gaming appears to want to conclude the year with a massive flippin' bang now that the excitement of the Game Awards has subsided. This week, Amazon announced their upcoming Warharmmer TV series and their co-development of the fourth Tomb Raider movie with Crystal Dynamics. On the other hand, it appears that Hogwarts Legacy is stirring things up once more and that a mysterious ally is siding with Microsoft in the FTC's Activision-Blizzard takeover action.

It's about to get wild in here, so keep your wife and children hidden.

It's that time of year when we get lots of hints about what to expect in the coming year. This includes information on several games, including the Witcher remake, Starship Troopers: Extermination, and a long-awaited update on the much-anticipated Beyond Good & Evil sequel, which was announced back in 2008. In addition, we have some interesting Black Friday sales statistics, The Callisto Protocol's subpar launch, and 343 (unsurprisingly) loses another major creative dev. And, as a cherry on top, we received a brief review of the recently released monster-western, Evil West. Prepare yourselves, because you're in for a wealth of information tonight.

This week's program will discuss some huge Ls. Particularly in regards to Sony's astounding hypocrisy toward Microsoft's acquisition of ABK, cancel-culture waving its useless wand once more, this time at a developer for Crystal Dynamics, and IGN writers having Level 0 reading comprehension skills. However, there are some more encouraging stories, including CDPR showcasing its Witcher 3 next-gen upgrade, a movie adaptation for Streets of Rage, and my brief review of Pentiment, a recent release from the narrative indie genre.

Our lovely valley of riches, toss us a coin; tonight's splendor will be a sight for all wandering eyes.

This week's episode teaches us a lot, most notably that gaming journalism is dead and cannot be trusted. Along with a slew of Sony bias spreading throughout the industry, God of War Ragnarok has an interesting release week, a Gears of War movie and anime adaptation is announced at Netflix, Final Fantasy turns heads for its creator's unbiased comments last week, and Take Two's investor update shows that their bad decisions are finally costing them billions. Get some aspirin, because some of this news is guaranteed to make you roll your eyes enough to cause a migraine.

Why did Henry Cavill's co-star accuse him of abuse? Some speculate that Henry Cavill's departure from The Witcher after season three is the result of his "problematic" behavior. Ikea allegedly sent a cease and desist letter to the creator of the independent game "The Store is Closed," accusing them of trademark infringement. A female Twitch streamer has amassed a record number of followers after recently disclosing that her husband was emotionally abusive.
