#56: More Money, More Problems
Manage episode 311846734 series 3192713
After years of speculation on when the shoe would drop, inflation may well have finally caught up with our industry as Take Two announces NBA 2K21 as the first next generation title to cost $70 for entry instead of the $60 we've all been paying for new games since 2005. Is the rising bill of sale justified or are publishers just making clear how much we've been paying for games already? Iron Man VR releases this week and reviews say it's... about what we all could have expected from a super hero VR joint. The United Kingdom's gambling committee finally makes its views on loot boxes clear, that open world Harry Potter RPG that leaked in 2018 might see the light of day next year, The Last of Us Part II reaches new heights for PlayStation first party sales, and Crysis Remastered leaks in such a bad way that the game has been delayed until further notice.
