S1 Episode 1 - Are Consumers the New Game Testers?
Welcome to the first episode of the Half & Half Gaming Podcast hosted by SlovakianShmack, IDont3venGame, and Kilam677. In today's debut episode, we discuss the alarming issue many gamers are asking themselves... are we secretly being game testers for these big triple A companies? From Cyberpunk 2077 to Fallout 76, many games nowadays are being shipped half-baked, buggy, and overall unfinished. Today, video games are almost exclusively connected to the internet by default and as a result we are receiving day one patches and beyond in an effort to salvage a positive user experience. What could be the possible motives behind this? Is this what gaming has come to? Have you felt this way before too? Join us as we talk more about this very topic! Additional News Topics: -The end of COD annual releases -Phil Spencer calls out gamers saying “gamers should treat developers with more dignity and respect” Want more content?
