Kineticist’s take
Venom analysis, John Wick rumor, Masters of Universe leak, Stern direct-to-consumer sales rumor.
Synopsis
Don discusses early reactions to Venom after watching livestreams from Southern Fried Gaming Expo, comparing its code-driven gameplay to mechanical depth of classic games. He covers rumors of John Wick as Stern's next game (replacing Indiana Jones), Masters of the Universe for American Pinball, and a significant rumor from RetroDango about Stern potentially selling direct-to-consumer, bypassing distributors: a major disruption to the traditional distributor model.
