This month, Maddi, Melissa, and Zora tackle six distinct topics by rolling a die and setting a ten minute timer, because why not? Topics include: the price of video games, the end of Polygon as we know it, Epic Games vs. Apple, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Zora's Dragon Age roleplay, and Belatro.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Mistakes: Melissa couldn't find anything about a specific agreement between game developers, but it's generally agreed that $60 is the peak price point that the market will support before customers push back.<br /> <br /> Pieces (or things) we mentioned:<br /> <br /> * <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/why-nintendo-is-so-expensive-2025-6" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Why Nintendo is so expensive</a> by Margaret Guzman, Clancy Morgan, and Amelia Kosciulek<br /> * <a href="https://gamerant.com/video-game-prices-breakdown-514/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Video Game Prices: Why Games Are $60, Where Your Money Goes, & Who Benefits Most</a> by Melissa Brinks<br /> * <a href="https://kotaku.com/why-new-video-games-still-cost-60-1545590499" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Why New Video Games Still Cost $60</a> by Evan Narcisse<br /> * <a href="https://edition.pagesuite.com/tribune/article_popover.aspx?guid=efc3ea01-1ae4-4f39-ae89-d96fbcbc0be3" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pay more to play: Video game publishers ready to hike prices</a> by Olga Kharif and Takashi Mochizuki<br /> * <a href="https://www.gamesindustry.biz/the-usd70-aaa-price-point-its-about-time-opinion" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The $70 AAA price point -- it's about time | Opinion</a> by Rob Fahey<br /> * <a href="https://news.mongabay.com/2022/10/playing-dangerously-the-environmental-impact-of-video-gaming-consoles/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Playing dangerously: The environmental impact of video gaming consoles</a> by Claire Asher<br /> * <a href="https://sidequest.zone/2024/10/28/postgame-27-james-gournalism/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Postgame.27 – James Gournalism</a><br /> * <a href="https://sidequest.zone/2025/05/14/gygo-mobile-more-lawsuits/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">GYGO Mobile: More Lawsuits</a> by Melissa Brinks<br /> * <a href="https://ourglasslake.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Ruberg-No-Fun-QED.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">No Fun: The Queer Potential of Video Games that Annoy, Anger, Disappoint, Sadden, and Hurt </a>by Bo Ruberg<br /> * <a href="https://nyupress.org/9781479874569/cruising-utopia-10th-anniversary-edition/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cruising Utopia</a> by José Esteban Muñoz<br /> * <a href="https://sidequest.zone/2025/03/23/postgame-29-sexuality-in-dragon-age/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Postgame.29 – Sexuality in Dragon Age</a><br /> * Regrettably, the catnip frog photo has been lost at the moment, but we will update the show notes if we can find it!<br /> * <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/curious-crop" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Curious Crop Pattern</a><br /> <br /> Theme music is Beat Thee by Alexander Nakarada, used under Creative Commons 0.<br /> <br /> <a href="https://sidequest.zone/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Website</a> | <a href="http://www.twitter.com/sidequestzone" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Twitter</a> | <a href="http://www.facebook.com/sidequestzone" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Facebook</a> | <a href="http://www.instagram.com/sidequest.zone" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Instagram</a> | <a href="http://www.patreon.com/sidequestzone" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Patreon</a><br /> Excerpt:<br /> <a href="https://sidequest.zone/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Postgame-31-Clip-1-Microtransactions.mp3">https://sidequest.zone/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Postgame-31-Clip-1-Microtransactions.
