Delivering the news as of 26th May, 2022. Today's transfer is a little bit different - there hasn't been a huge amount of news to cover, so I've taken some article headlines that are clickbaity, speculative or misinformed and unpack them for you. We need to be more discerning with games journalism in our fanatical culture, so this is your quick introduction to how I look at articles and decide what is informative and what isn't. Welcome to The Dead Drop, your secret cache of game news delivered safely and securely to your podcast player.
