    Trophy Whores 713 – Class Action Consoles

    Whoa, Shuhei!  We’ve got a lot to talk about.  Stack it up!  Join Matt and Alex as they discuss, among other things, Mouse: P.I. for Hire, Slay the Spire 2, Arc Raiders, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, and The Spell Brigade.  What’s more, we delve into Xbox game sales on PlayStation, and we focus on Sony’s settlement of an antitrust lawsuit.  As usual, the news is full of surprises.

    And if you think that’s all, then you’ve got another thing coming!  We hit the high notes, and we hit the low notes, but we’ll always bring the banter.  What are you waiting for? Dive in!

    As always, the opinions fly fast and heavy! Look out for this super-sized show, as the seemingly smallest conversation veers off into a multiverse of chit-chat. Sounds cool, huh? That’s the fancy way of saying “derailment.” And there’s plenty of that to go around! Let’s dance, Heroes of the XMB!

    In a bit of big news that would make the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles proud, iHeartRadio, Pandora and Spotify host episodes of Trophy Whores. It’s a tremendous honor for the show to be part of three massive and respected entertainment communities, and Proven Gamer have only the fans to thank for pushing the podcast to soaring heights. The Trophy Whores work hard to put out a quality weekly show, but they owe so much love to their listeners, who keep the show strong and growing.
