This week includes a Gaming Flashback about the sticky puzzle game World of Goo, which was one of the first games released without DLC — which is one of the main themes running through this podcast: videogame obsolescence. The guys also discuss James Gunn’s work on Lollipop Chainsaw and speedrun cheating.

The news for the week includes:

  • Ubisoft to pull online from older games, which also takes away your DLC
  • Sucker Punch has “no plans to revisit” its Sly Cooper or InFamous games
  • Squad’s 50v50 tactical FPS action has moved over 3 million copies
  • Fable reboot gets a new narrative lead
