Gaming Is Shit Now, Right? [S01E01]

from Grumpy Old Gamer

Al, Ian, and Tim launch their complaints about modern gaming with predictable results. This first episode covers the industry's monetization problems, DLC obsession, and live service addiction while questioning whether games were better when they shipped complete. The discussion covers subscription models, DRM failures, studio consolidation, and developer crunch before inevitably asking if nostalgia makes everything from the past seem superior. Technical quality matches the amateur hour you'd expect from three people figuring out podcast recording. Runtime exceeds reasonable limits because nobody had learned to edit yet. https://gog.fmhttps://gog.fm/bloghttps://gog.fm/discordhttps://gog.fm/twitchhttps://gog.fm/steamhttps://gog.fm/facebookhttps://gog.fm/twitterhttps://gog.fm/bskyhttps://gog.fm/instagramhttps://gog.fm/threads
