Square Enix has always been a third-party developer/publisher, but over the years they have become synonymous with PlayStation. That seems to be changing in the very-near future. After announcing that both FF7 Remake and FF16 failed to hit internal targets, some questionable publishing decisions, and layoffs across the US and EU, Square Enix has announced they will be getting aggressive with more multi-platform releases. Overall this is a good thing for gamers everywhere, but the biggest question right now is what this means for the FF7 Remake project moving forward. In other news PlayStation announced that they have named not one, but TWO new CEOs to replace Jim Ryan and Interim CEO Hiroki Totoki, and the fallout from Xbox's shocking studio closures continues to reverberate through the industry. The guys also discuss playing Tales of Kenzera: Zau, Animal Well, and Sean finally trying out Tunic!
