Summary

DPX plans Zidware games; hosts condemn as tainted; ABBA Pinball confirmed; Chicago Gaming delays persist.

This episode covers Black Knight: Sword of Rage production restart, confirmation of ABBA Pinball Pinball with two editions ($10k-$11k), Multimorphic's summer production timeline for The Princess Bride, Chicago Gaming Company ongoing delays with Pulp Fiction, and a major controversy around DPX (Dutch Pinball sister company) acquiring rights to build unfinished Zidware games (Alice in Wonderland, Magic Girl, Raza). Hosts express strong moral objections to reviving these historically troubled projects, viewing them as exploitative of past victims. Video game segment briefly covers Mike Ybarra's controversial tipping proposal and Yuji Naka's accusatory social media return.
