When Success Becomes the Enemy

from Game or Sleep Hosted by Game or Sleep

What happened to the studios we grew up loving? In this episode, we chat about why so many big game companies seem to be missing the mark lately. Is it greed? Pressure from shareholders? Too-big-to-fail thinking? Or is the industry just changing? We share our takes, frustrations, and a little hope for the future of gaming.
