Description

To the surprise of almost no one in the retrogaming sphere, game-grading company Wata Games is the target of a new US class-action lawsuit. The suit accuses Wata of "engaging in affirmative acts to manipulate the retro video game market" and of "engaging in unfair business practices." We discuss the allegations and what this could potentially mean for the future of the retrogaming secondhand market.We'll also be talking about how Saudi Arabia’s PIF now owns a 5% stake in Nintendo, the newly revealed PlayStation Plus games lineup, the backlash over Activision's video game diversity tool, and PlayStation's strangely useful online "Gamer Dictionary."Finally, Donnie takes us on a Retro Rewind in our Gaming History 101 segment. In this episode, we're looking at the May 1996 issue of GamePro Magazine.We love our sponsors!
