Description
Time codes at the bottom!There is plenty to enjoy in Sony's newly revamped PlayStation Plus service, but is it really worth the cost? We explore the idea that the biggest challenge facing PS Plus and Xbox Game Pass (or any game subscription service on the market for that matter) isn’t money. It’s time. Or more accurately, lack of it. As adults with more responsibilities than time, are gaming subscription services actually a good deal for us?We also discuss Sony's claims that PlayStation's new digital collectibles are "definitely not NFTs," how the Unity CEO says you're a "f***ing idiot" if you don't think about the monetization of your game during the creative process, the court's dismissal of the class-action antitrust lawsuit against the PlayStation Store, and Doom designer John Romero's announcement that he’s making a new FPS.Finally, Ryan and Donnie recap their weekend at the Southern Fried Gaming Expo.We love our sponsors!
