We have a discussion about the price increase for games. Is it justified? Should it affect other cohntries aswell? We talk a bunch about this and somehow come to a conclusion. Always nice to get things of our chests.
In relation to that, gaming has never been so popular than now. Why is that? And how the hell are they so successful, when there are shortages in world? Pretty impressive we must say. And just think how it would have been if their were no shortages. Holy crap.
Also Microsoft has increased revenue for developers, giving them a bigger share for game sales than before. This is inline with what Epic has been doing and something Steam maybe needs to change to keep up with the competition. Mostly in the past, it's always been a 70-30 split. But it's nice that someone (with a lot of money of course) can change that for the better.
And lastly, would it been cool if NetherRealm made a fighting game with Marvel characters? I surely think so.
Consider leaving us a nice review if you liked the episode or share us with other fellow gamers.
