Correction or Clarification I guess? 2:30 - Re: The Skull and Bones rumour. The rumor follows some investigative reporting by Ethan Gach at Kotaku about obligations the studio has under and subsidy agreement. Quote from the Kotaku article: "But three sources also told Kotaku that a deal with the Singapore government requires it. In addition to hiring a certain number of people at its Singapore studio in exchange for generous subsidies, they said, Ubisoft Singapore must also launch original brand new IPs in the next few years."

Correction 18:52 Damiani said that articles call out the teams inside Paltinum Games as A, B, C, etc. After googling "platinum games b team" I found no articles mentioning this. I think Damiani has a habit of compartmentalizing armchair analysts from forums in the same place as outlets with writers and journalists who are beholden to some standard of accountability.

Great job Isla :)

It’s probably been said, but I love Gabby just laughing in the background when the switcher mic is on. It’s been a great laugh track for the past few podcasts.

Hey Isla, great job hosting this week. Good idea to round up the Stray news all into one, that game is the big hit atm. Coming off last week's great performance by Brad as well, the podcast is in good hands when Blood needs a break. Great job.
