  • Fine

    Fine to listen to if you can get past Jason’s voice. Not a funny pod which is why I prefer Get Played. More fun and funny and I love them better.

  • insufferable

    If you enjoy listening to Schreier and his effeminate gay voice, this is the show for you. He looks exactly how I expected him to based on his voice. Needs to cut down on his estrogen dose.

  • Jason Makes This A Nope For Me~

    I’ve genuinely *never* liked a single thing Jason Schreier has ever written, so it’s obvious I’m not going to like anything he *says* either. A bunch of his past “takes” during his Kotaku days were utter nonsense, not inclined to believe any of that’s changed.

  • Triple Play? More like grand slam

    Video game podcasts are common now, but they are never as interesting and thoughtful as triple click. Each host has a super unique perspective, personality and insightful opinion. You may not share the same opinion as one host, but you will for another and even though they don’t agree, they are so incredibly respectful and kind to one another and appreciate that their opinions are different. And not at all in a corny way. My favorite day of the week is when a new triple click is released

  • Depressing, not enough games talk

    You have to listen through quite a lot of dreary talk about sports, TV, news, etc. to get to the games. I wish they’d take being a *games* podcast more seriously.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Nintendo Hype, Steam Taxes, and the Best Games Ever [Mailbag]
Q: Does the lack of a new Mario or Smash announcement mean people should disengage from the rumor mill and hype cycle entirely?
They argue for calibration rather than disengagement, acknowledging hype as a tool but advocating healthier expectations and reliance on actual release milestones rather than constant speculation.
Nintendo Hype, Steam Taxes, and the Best Games Ever [Mailbag]
Q: Dear Kirk, Maddy and Jason, how do we balance excitement for future Nintendo releases with appreciation for current and near-term games when two Directs in a row underwhelm fans?
The panel suggests that while hype is built by marketing, patience and nuance help; focus on what's actually announced, avoid forcing a single 'big surprise,' and appreciate the variety of smaller, well-made games that do arrive.
Why Are There So Many Remakes Right Now? [Mailbag]
Q: What do you think drives the current craze for remakes—creative desire, market forces, or both?
They agree it's a mix: market signals like nostalgia and proven revenue, combined with development pipelines and a desire to reframe classic experiences for new audiences.
Is Nolan's Odyssey The Elden Ring of Movies? [Mailbag]
Q: Why do studios shut down or spin off rather than stay independent, and how do IP rights influence these decisions?
The hosts explain that IP control often dictates whether a studio can survive as an independent entity after a sale, and that selling can preserve the people and some projects even if the original studio dissolves.
What It's Like When Your Game Flops
Q: How are you feeling after this? What are things like for you after finishing a tough project that underperformed commercially?
It's extremely complicated and emotionally taxing; the work is meaningful and the team stayed committed, but the outcomes are not what anyone hoped for, leading to reflection on what to do differently next time while still taking pride in delivering something completed and coherent.
