Gaming Podcast 161: Gayma Via

This weeks gaming podcast is a his and her podcast as Don is out sick. Oddly, the episode is shorter than normal, apparently we just didn’t have enough to rant about this week. We did cover some community responses, covered some game history and busted through some news articles including:

This week’s question of the week, would it bother you if EA started charging fees to play used games?

  1. @PS3 shortage
    Shortage would somehow justify high price, right? I mean if a product is rare, it’s expensive, right?
    But there’s a problem. A shortage justifies a high price if there’s a strong demand for the product.

    I don’t think this is the case.

    So my question is, is Sony trying to create a bubble?

    @C&C games free:
    It could be that the kids playing the new C&C have no clue about the Tiberium ‘universe’, and these downloads are here to bring the younger gamers up to date.

    @Xbox Live and MSFT phones:
    I’m waiting for the MSFT dishwasher myself, lol …

    @EA and used games:
    Adding a locking mechanism, as Jennifer says, works if there’s a mandatory online registration in place. That works for new games.

    But for older games? Those have everything on the CD/DVD.

    @QOTW:
    I don’t really care … to manage to do that, EA would need to enforce a tax on all used games retailers. That includes Amazon, E-Bay, Gamestop and the ocasional gamer selling his boxed game to his buddy.

    It’s hard to enforce that without a lawsuit that translates into a court order (targeting resellers, maybe?). It’s even harder to check if people actually obey the order.

    I smell an EA_FAIL here …

  3. @EA
    Here’s an idea how about stop spaming games & buying up companies. Just make good games & you will be sure to make munnys. So now pay me lots of munnys to be on ur board, so i can tell you that.

  5. The PC I’m building should be finished next week, still have to optimize my video & processor clocks. Living in the tropics can really affect the systems temperatures so hopefully the CPU Cooler I’m trialing can help. BTW EVGA really make some sexy motherboards & the layout is awesome.

Episode 638: Sony Buys BungieEpisode 638: Sony Buys Bungie

This week, Sony responds to Microsoft’s nearly $69B purchase of Activision/Blizzard by buying Bungie for $4B. The guys cover Sony’s State of Play 2022, which turned out to be entirely about Gran Turismo 6.

Well, we hinted at it in the last few podcasts, and now it is live: TD Gaming Podcast is now looking for listener support through Kickstarter. To learn more about some interesting games to try, you should check out, sattaking.

It’s very easy to donate: just visit our Kickstarter page and click that donate button. The goal is pretty modest, a mere $1500. If all our listeners each donated even just $5, we’d blow by that amount.

What will we do with the money? Make sure we can keep old episodes without having to delete them due to limited server space, and get pro mics for every podcaster. The more money, the longer we can go without worrying about server subscriptions. Visit VIP Casino Sites to find engaging games, amazing bonuses, excellent customer service and multiple payment methods. To explore slot88 machines and other casino games, you may visit an online casino.

The other news this week includes:

  • Sony wants to help Bungie turn its franchises into movies
  • Sony’s State of Play 2022
  • MLB: The Show 22 is coming to Switch
  • EA’s boss went from calling NFTs “the future” to running away from them
