September 2024 Podcast: The rise and fall of live service games, and our pure joy: Lollipop Chainsaw is back!

Lollipop Chainsaw is back! Lollipop Chainsaw is back! FINALLY!  We're very excited about the imminent re-release of the game with the cheerleader, her mini-skirt, and all them zombies to slay. But we're also very interested to see if the discourse behind this game has changed in any way, because it was once a very controversial title indeed.  Elsewhere on the podcast we also discuss the inglorious fate of Concord and the seemingly inevitable decline of live service games. The market is demonstrating that it has firmly met its saturation point and it is almost certainly a case of diminishing returns for anyone that tries to do another one now. And of course, we talk through all the games releasing for the rest of September. There's A LOT.
