The week ends on a high note despite all the controveries surrounding Microsoft's recently announced Xbox One home entertainment device. Sony has reiterated claims they made a while back, ensuring that used games are playable on the PS4 and no DRM will be attached. This spurred a host of victory cries from within the community who rallied together to show their appreciation to Sony for retaining integrity within the gaming industry. Thank you Sony, you are all elegant peers of a noble company. And Double Fine is back at it again for their Kickstarter of Massive Chalice. These stories and more in this June 1st, 2013 edition of the Gaming Weekly Recap.
