Show Notes

Amazon’s long-troubled Lord of the Rings MMO is officially dead following studio cuts and shifting priorities. Nintendo and The Pokémon Company face a major setback as their “monster capture” patent gets rejected — potentially weakening their lawsuit against Palworld. Meanwhile, the ID@Xbox Showcase spotlights fresh indie titles and creative partnerships for 2025.
