Is stupid a harsh word? Between people getting tricked by fake news coming from @CallOfDuty, to Gamestop’s CEO ignoring the truth about physical disc sales, it seems to fit more than a few people this podcast. We discuss both of those items, but also talk about Colin Cowherd’s nerd shaming. Also, it appears a solution has been found for those mourning the loss of Halo 5’s couch co-op, but I’m not sure you’re going to like it. We talk about how it’s Sony’s fault that the Vita failed, as well as how they were unprepared for the popularity of the PS4. That’s them saying it, not us. That and more on this weeks Mashcast.
