What is going on with the cost of gaming? Our wallets are empty because this hobby is getting too expensive! Join WckdGmrUK - Allen and Mike Malldee as we discuss what the future of gaming looks like now that things are getting even more expensive. We talk Xbox Game Pass price increase and why does Super Mario Galaxy 1+ 2 cost $70?! We talk about recent games we’ve been playing and, spoiler alert, one of them is quickly becoming Allen’s GOTY!
