from Aggressively Casual · host Press X To Skip

This week on Aggressively Casual, FreeBird and Cheeks are asking the big, stupidly obvious questions:What the hell are Activision and Treyarch actually doing with Call of Duty? Is ARC Raiders’ big “AI-powered” pitch actually exciting… or just another buzzword soup poured over a looter shooter? And how did FreeBird manage to completely sabotage their own base in Dune: Awakening in record time?We dig into CoD’s ongoing identity crisis, the live-service brain rot creeping into every corner of the industry, and whether AI in games is going to make things better, lazier, or just weirder.
