Description
One of the more jaw-dropping leaks to come from the Microsoft FTC trial is the confirmation that both Horizon: Forbidden West and The Last of Us Part 2 cost Sony more than $200 million to develop. With AAA games getting bigger and bigger (and taking longer and longer to make), will there come a time when that bubble bursts? We discuss the possible future of gaming in such a landscape and how platform exclusives may or may not fit into such a world.We'll also be talking about how Sony blocked Roblox on PlayStation due to concerns it could "potentially exploit" a young audience (however, the company is now reconsidering), how Apple is asking the US Supreme Court to overthrow the ruling in the Epic antitrust case, and how Nintendo veteran Takaya Imamura says that F-Zero hasn't been revived because Mario Kart is Nintendo's most popular racing game.Finally, Donnie takes us all the way back to July 1995 in Retro Rewind.We love our sponsors!
