Just two months after the sale of Electronic Arts (EA) to the group led by Saudi Arabia PIF was completed, the first casualty of the deal has come. BioWare, the legendary Edmonton-based studio, has been shut down.

What's more, the next Mass Effect game has been cancelled, and we even got a leaked trailer showing where it was heading.

But it's not just BioWare; roughly 400 people are losing their jobs throughout the company, and it's just the beginning. What's next for EA after this?

The GTA 6 leaks are coming to an end. At least, that's what the leaker says. Plus, AI is taking over Epic Games and CEO Tim Sweeney wants you to know about it.

Welcome to Insider Gaming Weekly, Episode 80 with Mike Straw, Tom Henderson, and Grant Taylor-Hill.

Xbox just keeps doing it: put out some good news followed by a major change at the company, usually involving layoffs. This time, they put Activision in charge of Halo, moved World's Edge and Rare under Activision, and put Obsidian under Bethesda.

Welcome to Insider Gaming Weekly, Episode 78 with Mike Straw, Tom Henderson, Grant Taylor-Hill, and Albert Perkins.

Also in this episode, Grant is back from Tokyo Game Show and fills us in on his experience; there's a GTA 6 "Collection" that doesn't include the game...so you can't call it a "Collector's Edition", and there was almost a Legend of Zelda game from Ubisoft starring...Ganondorf.
