The Games Industry As We Know It Is Collapsing | Words About Games Podcast #451
Manage episode 481867253 series 3332878
This week Moody finally returns to the podcast! Both he and Amy want to talk about the Xbox price rises and what they (and everything else) signal about the games industry going for, and Vitz talks about the Grand Theft Auto VI trailer.
Apologies for the audio quality in parts - Discord decided to suck when we recorded.
(Also I forgot to turn most of my lights on. I like to think that as I disappear further into darkness it's an apt metaphor for the games industry - Amy)
