Devs Talk Games

We accidentally jumped into a topic that has been in the news lately: microtransactions! Boon to developers' budgets, bane to gamers' wallets. A couple weeks ago Star Wars Battlefront II made a lot of people angry with its mtx/loot box structure. We take a nuanced view: they screwed it up a bit, but there's nothing inherently wrong with microtransactions. Warning: the audio quality is worse than normal in this episode. The person responsible has been sacked. Hosts: Jeff Lake (@jeff_lake) and Seth Shain (@sethlouis).
