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.

Και όλο το υπόλοιπο επεισόδιο αφιερώνεται στο Ghost Of Tsushima και στην τέλεια καταιγίδα που δημιούργησε η Epic Games.
