Pinball: We go over a listener email, talk briefly about a black and white version of Godzilla Pinball, and spend the rest of the time going over the liquidation and demise of Haggis Pinball. Video Games: We (or at least one of us!) defends V.A.T.S. from listener criticism and then we talk Dr. Disrespect, the downtrend in video game hardware sales, Microsoft changes to Game Pass, the leak on Space Marine 2, and many other topics including the end of the Halo TV series!

Kineticist’s take
Haggis Pinball collapses into liquidation; Godzilla gets monochrome art variant.
Synopsis
Eclectic Gamers discusses industry slowdown, the Godzilla Black and White anniversary edition, and the major news of Haggis Pinball closure. The Australian manufacturer, known for Kelts and Fathom Revisited, has entered voluntary liquidation after announcing in February 2024 that it needed restructuring and new investment. The hosts examine the company's decline from high transparency in early years to silence in 2024, and discuss implications for pre-order customers and distributors.
