Key pinball topics include Ryan McQuaid joining American Pinball as a designer, rumors that another pinball company holds the Sonic license (blocking American Pinball acquisition attempt), American Pinball planned simplification of deluxe models, a Dragon's Lair pinball homebrew receiving a cease-and-desist, and a very tentative rumor that Jersey Jack Pinball may have licensed Fullmetal Alchemist. Video game coverage focuses on Twitch's proposed revenue share reductions for partners, a $11,600 Final Fantasy VI statue, PlayStation Plus Premium launch, and Overwatch 2 beta achieving 1.5 million concurrent Twitch viewers.
