- Drive By Shoutout:
- Lou Dupa - As a hardcore GamePass holdout (for reasons) I have to say you guys finally convinced me to try it. Wow was I stupid to hold out, what a value! Only downside is I haven’t picked up my Switch in weeks. I got a Backbone for my iPhone, bought the Series S and all the things! This show and The Nintendo Drive are my favourite gaming podcasts bar none.
- Kyle Turford - With the inclusion of King in the Activision deal, do you think Microsoft would create a “mobile” gaming category of Game Pass similar to Apple Arcade? Start out with King mobile titles and Cloud streaming for a cheap price ($5/month)?

- In an interview with The Washington Post, Phil Spencer, when asked about Activision’s IP, Phil stated that he’d like to revive some of Activision’s past IPs and specifically name dropped King's Quest, Guitar Hero and HeXen.
- Delroy - The pending ABK purchase comes with not only a treasure trove of IP, but also a wealth of incredibly talented studios. What’s one IP you’d like to see resurrected under Xbox and what studio would you like to see on it? I’d like to see StarCraft Ghost reborn by High Moon.
- TPR - This is probably more a Ryan question, what are the chances we see some legacy Sierra Entertainment games made available to us in the future because of this deal? Sierra was acquired by Activision-Blizzard in 2014, so it has me curious. Quite niche I know, but it's fun to ponder
- TruckerSloth - I spent hundreds of hours playing RiverRaid and Pitfall with my Aunt on the Atari 2600 and 7800. I’d be one of the happiest men alive if Xbox were to reboot either of them after taking over Activision. Are there any old franchises that any of the new acquisitions hold that you’d love see come back and have a new life in modern times?

- Lucasfilm Games have announced 3 new Star Wars games are coming from Respawn. Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order 2, a new non-Battlefront FPS and a strategy game made in tandem with former Firaxis developers. No time tables were given for any of these games

The Carpool - follow on Twitter, leave a comment on YouTube, or join the Discord to leave a question and be part of the show.
- TheMuff1nMon - Do you think that this acquisition could save teams like Toys for Bob and Vicarious Visions who were relegated to CoD and Diablo support studios under previous leadership? Its sad to see two incredibly talented development teams treated this way after making amazing games like Crash 4, N Sane Trilogy and Tony Hawk remake.
- Jedi Master Ren - Do you guys think Xbox will utilise their other acquired studios to work on some of the IP they’ll gain from this acquisition? Not thinking COD but maybe like a Crash Bandicoot from Rare or something. What Xbox studio would you want to see paired with a specific Act/ Bliz IP?
- Tyler Kopp @acidtk03 - What a big day yesterday! Xbox is again the shooter box and I couldn’t be happier! Gamepass could and more than likely have the top 4 shooter franchises Halo, Battlefield (via EA Play), Overwatch and Call of Duty. Gamepass Sub 4 Life
- TruckerSloth - Here’s a question for the show, do we think Sony had any idea this deal was going down, or do you think they were blindsided like the rest of us? If they were surprised, what do you think their initial reactions/thoughts are?
- WTNAndrew - What do you think comes first, a Smash Style game or a Mario Kart style game with all the mascots they now own? Also, what do you think is one crucial area that Xbox is lacking in now that needs to be improved for them to keep the positive momentum going?
- Court Lalonde - With titles like Crash and Spyro in the fold do you think Xbox might try and get more kid friendly games on Game Pass in the future?
- Joel {Wiered LAN Port) @JoelakaFalcon - What would you and Ryan do with 70 billion dollars?
