In this episode...
--> Ubisoft has now filed a response to the lawsuit over the shut down of online game The Crew and makes multiple claims as to why the suit should be dismissed, including that the plaintiffs knew what they were getting into because of "the explicit warnings on The Crew's packaging that plaintiffs were obtaining a limited license to access the game."
--> Discord has added a new age verification system for some users that requires them to scan their face or ID to access sensitive material.
--> The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild's divisive weapon durability is getting a workaround, but it's locked to the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition app.
--> There's a buried Steam help page that shows how much money you've ever spent on the platform, and you probably shouldn’t look at it.
--> Also: Top 3 New Releases, Nerd History 101
