Description

Xbox has released a patch that quashes various third-party accessories not explicitly authorized by Microsoft. Any device that Xbox doesn’t license will now receive a “0x82d60002” error code. Users then have two weeks before the Xbox disables it, permanently blocking the device (although Microsoft has said there "should" be no issue with players using the Xbox Adaptive Controller). We discuss this sweeping, rather harsh new move by Microsoft, but come away with more questions than answers. We'll also be talking about how Bungie's CEO claims the company's recent round of layoffs were due to Destiny 2 underperformance, how Sega says development of its first "Super Game" is progressing steadily, and how 2023 has the best-reviewed slate of video games of the last 20 years.Finally, class is in session with Professor Ryebread in our Nostalgia 101 segment. In this episode, we're remembering the Halloween holiday from the perspective of '80s/'90s kids.We love our sponsors!
