In this episode of the Rush Hour, we tackle a series of updates from the gaming world that have fans on edge. First, we explore the new law requiring Steam to disclose details about game ownership—raising questions about player privacy and the impact on the industry’s digital future.

Next, we cover the closure of Firewall Studios, the team behind Concord, the game no one wanted or asked for. We also look at Nintendo’s surprising new music app, which, rather than delighting fans, has stirred up frustration and confusion over its purpose.

And then, there’s Ubisoft. Their latest title, Champions Tactics: Grimoria Chronicles, is NFT-powered, and let’s just say the community isn’t thrilled. We unpack why gamers continue to resist NFTs in games and why Ubisoft is still pushing this DOA tech forward.

Finally, we dive into the complex realm of game preservation, where the U.S. Copyright Office recently denied requests for DMCA exceptions, making preservation efforts even more challenging. We round out the episode with a Dragon Age news roundup, where Veilguard has sparked some chaotic online discourse. Tune in for all the latest, as we break down what’s driving gamers up the wall this week!
