How and Why We Play What We Do - SNGP 83

While celebrating how the "graded" game resell market has collapsed, David Radd had to stop himself from jumping on enemies in Disney Illusion Island and felt let down by anything not in New Donk City in Super Mario Odyssey.  Meanwhile, Tuesday got some Risk of Rain 2 mixed up in their Risk of Rain 1 in Risk of Rain Returns and finally escaped the Mind Place in Alan Wake 2.  In news, Marvel's Spider-Man 2 leads October 2023 U.S. sales according to Circana, Baldur's Gate 3 sweeps the Golden Joystick Awards and lead nominations for The Game Awards with Alan Wake 2.  Sega of America is accused of threatening mass layoffs over the studio's attempt at unionization and Tim Sweeney confirms he was willing to sue Sony to get cross play for Fortnite in the ongoing trial of Epic against Google.  In the SNGP topic, David details the system he uses to encourage the play of both new and older games and Tuesday talks about their seasonal habits in gameplay.
