About this episode

The episode discusses the early lifting of Crest Caps, updates on Blizzard games, and the sales success of Subnautica 2.

This week we tell Crest Caps to rest in pieces as Blizzard lifts them a bit early in this opening section of  Midnight . Joe gets salacious about addons and new functionality on the PTR. We all hope the Siege of Orgrimmar doesn't last as long as it originally did on any iteration of  Classic . Matt throws a bit of a statistical wrench in the works, saying several other raid tiers were actually longer — but it sure didn't feel that way. And next seasonal rollover of  Diablo 4  is at the end of June, so you have that long to decide whether you want to purchase all those cool tier 2  World of Warcraft  crossover transmogs. Also, we're all laughing at the Krafton CEO, thinking he could get out of paying bonuses for  Subnautica 2  by asking ChatGPT. Anyway, the game sold 2 million copies in 12 hours so they're definitely going to be out a ton of cash. Literally couldn't have happened to a better person.
