EA dumps FIFA, drama ensues

EA and FIFA are officially breaking up and the fallout is probably a win for everyone who likes soccer games and wants more of them. Not to mention a good amount of executive trash talking each other. In other news, Nintendo is worried about their next console, Sony says AAA games will suffer with Game Pass route, the antitrust suit against Valve will proceed, and Activision Blizzard is trying to stop Raven unionization. This week's 5-Second Review comes with a history lesson and the Coming Soon section is a little short but shows up with zombies, vampires, and a post-apocalyptic city builder.
