  • Ugh. Braindead Politics

    I always forget how stupid these guys are every time they turn their attention to anything political. Truly low-information people. NPCs, if you will.

  • One of the best

    This is one of the best podcast out there. The insights are always thoughtful and often profound. A running theme here is the promotion of the wholesome aspects of gaming.

    If you cannot get over these guys calling out the obvious reality of how politics affects gaming then you’re probably too entrenched in your political ideology to sit back and enjoy a stellar podcast.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

648: Eren 'Caboose' Kose: Pragmata, Replaced, Mouse P.I. For Hire, Marathon, GTA 6 Rockstar financials leak, Metro 2039, Game Pass too expensive?
Q: What is your take on the GTA leak and Rockstar's financials?
The panel notes the leak exposed financials and PS5/PC disparities, but the stock upturn suggests the information didn't hurt Rockstar as much as expected; the discussion emphasizes that hacking and extortion are illegal and harmful, and the focus is on understanding the market reaction rather than endorsing the breach.
646: Jacob Dekker: PS6 rumors, Pokemon patents, Marvel MaXimum Collection, Super Meat Boy 3D, Slay the Spire 2, Pokopia, Pokemon Champions, Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2+ platinumed for the first time ever
Q: What's your take on the Pokemon patent revocation and its impact on future games?
The panel agrees it signals a shift away from locking in unique mechanics as exclusive IP, suggesting more room for developers to explore similar summoning concepts without fearing immediate infringement, though there's caution about how this will play out in practice.
640: Jay Peters: Phil Spencer and Sara Bond leave Xbox, Bluepoint Games shut down, Unity touts “AI-driven authoring”, God of War: Sons of Sparta, CorgiSpace, Mario Tennis Fever, Forgotlings, Scott Pilgrim EX, Cairn
Q: What would you consider to be Jay Peters' Story of the Week?
Jay selected the news that Phil Spencer and Sara Bond are leaving Xbox as the defining story, highlighting the dramatic leadership shift and its potential implications for Xbox's strategy and multi-platform ambitions.
