While only Logan and Tomas are on Episode 47 of DualShockers' ShockCast this week, that didn't stop them from talking quite a bit about one of this past month's biggest gaming controversies - intrusive loot boxes and microtransactions in AAA games. Specifically, we mainly talk about their implementation in Middle Earth: Shadow of War and Star Wars: Battlefront II, and if we prefer them to Season Passes.

Tomas also talks about a ton of indie games that he played during his recent trip to Poland for Poznan Game Arena and GIC, while Logan delves a bit more into his thoughts on Middle Earth: Shadow of War outside of the aforementioned controversy.
