Unfortunately, we had to skip a week despite recording a good podcast thanks to technical difficulties – don’t worry, we’ll air it at some point in the near future. It was a good episode. This episode had its own issues, as Jonah was unable to record the podcast at home, so he was outside in the New York City night air podcasting with TJ and Scott.
This week’s news includes:
- Microsoft cancels Fable Legends, closes Press Play Studios, considers shuttering Lionhead Studios UK
- Report: SpinTires developer sabotaged his own game
- 10 months later, MAME finishes its transition to open source
