  5. I find games being delayed a lot less annoying than games that ship broken, unfinished, buggy or that require you to download a patch the size of the entire game itself before you can start playing it.

    Generally I will only be upset about a delay to a game I really, really want. Although it can be frustrating, especially if its not the first delay, I’m still going to buy it when it comes out. However if the developer/publisher push the game out too soon I will defiantly think twice before looking to purchase any of their future products.

So, thanks to an untimely computer breakdown, last week’s episode could not be run in a timely manner. So, this double-length episode features an off-the-cuff discussion of videogames with no notes, with last week’s episode tacked on. There’s not much editing in the episode, due to the fact Jonah has to rush off to Boston to attend PAX East over the weekend.

Last week’s “news” includes:

  • Middle Earth: Shadow of War leaked then announced
  • Microsoft announces Netflix-style gaming for the Xbox One
  • Videogame industry lobbying to maintain “repair monopoly”
  • Microsoft plans to bring mixed reality to the Xbox in 2018
