Steam Got New Tags, Xbox Lost Family Plans, and Gaming Went Too Far

from After Hours Arcade · host After Hours Arcade

This week on After Hours Arcade, we’re covering one of the strangest mixes of gaming stories yet. Nintendo is turning selfies into WarioWare-style minigames with Pictonico!, Steam is cleaning up its tags and officially recognizing Bullet Heaven, Sony may be bringing major single-player PlayStation exclusives back behind the console wall, and Xbox’s long-rumored Game Pass Family Plan may be dead because of EA. We also talk about the future of Destiny 2, whether Destiny 3 needs to happen, and end with a serious conversation about Plantation Simulator, the dangers of gamifying racist trauma, and where gaming platforms should draw the line.
