Episode 463: Not an April Fool’s Episode

This week’s episode has nothing to do with April Fool’s Day, since that was a week ago. There’s nothing surprising about the crew this time around, though Jonah does finally give his final (?) thoughts on Mass Effect: Andromeda, and Zelda keeps getting heavy praise. The Persona 5 news item alone spurred a ton of debate.

This week’s episode includes the following news:

  • Twitch and YouTube streamers slam Persona 5‘s video policy
  • Total War: Warhammer 2 announced with a new trailer
  • Valve only wants to sell you good games
  • Nintendo might have accidentally revealed that Pokemon is coming to the Switch

Let us know what you think of the heated discussions in the episode.

  1. Personally I find the Persona 5 anti-streaming rules insane. If you’re worried that “spoiling” your game will make people not want to buy it then you probably should have made it better in the first place. For good games, streamers and YouTubers help to draw sales by increasing interest in games. Here in America there is a certain subset into the Persona series, but for most of the populous these are an enigma. This isn’t Japan where everyone is balls-deep in the series. Increased U.S. exposure can only increase sales.
