  • Leave your personal politics out of my video games

    Used to really like this show and have listened to close to 100 episodes. However, recently it has become more about politics and bringing things like Elon Musk into the conversation for no reason whatsoever than about video games and the gaming industry. I tried to push through and keep listening but I just can’t anymore. Maybe it’s time to hang it up, you guys clearly lost the memo somewhere.
