Episode 18 - 80 Canadian Dollars! (SirStendec)

This week on the Warp World Podcast, Jaku and Xwater examine what exactly went wrong with EA’s treatment of microtransactions in Star Wars Battlefront 2 and how they eventually removed them completely after the public backlash to the system. This prompted a talk on microtransactions in gaming in general, whether it be through loot crates or DLC. The Game of the Year nominees were announced and Jaku and Xwater gave their opinions on the nominations. They debate whether PUBG should be included since it’s still technically in beta. Jaku and Xwater spoke with SirStendec, developer of the FrankerFaceZ plugin to enhance the Twitch experience about how he’s adapting to the changes recently made to the Twitch website. They also talk about some of the upcoming features to FrankerFaceZ. Check out the Reddit AMA that SirStendec did if you have more questions you’d like answered by him!
