I spoke extensively with someone who worked on Concord, and it's so much worse than you think. It was internally referred to as "The Future of PlayStation" with Star Wars-like potential, and a dev culture of "toxic positivity" halted any negative feedback. Making it cost $400m.

TODAY IS THE DAY! Our newest game at Lillymo Games -- Saint Slayer: Spear of Sacrilege -- is available RIGHT NOW on all platforms. It costs $10. We're really proud of it. If you're an old-schooler like us, we think you'll love it. (And thanks to all who have been Tweeting me!)

The other day, Grummz shared an 'NDA' so blatantly fake that it belies belief. And he dragged me and Last Stand into his grifting act. Allow me to go through the document in detail to show you how counterfeit it is, and how either dense or dishonest (or both) Grummz himself is.

The reality is this: Many game 'pundits' and 'analysts' believed every word Xbox executives fed them. They cheered on -- and often encouraged -- consolidation without a critical eye to the many downstream consequences. I took an enormous amount of abuse, but I was totally right.

Xbox is now a third-party publisher, the biggest on PlayStation. How did this happen? It's simple: Microsoft flew too close to the sun. Buying Activision destroyed its exclusives ecosystem. Now, it'll rely on Sony and Nintendo to drive future revenue forevermore. Crazy stuff.

PS5 Pro's lack of a disc drive is upsetting to some, but it's more-so a reminder of presentday reality. 80% of EA's sales are digital. 90% for Capcom. And so on. If you're using discs on a console this generation, more power to you. Just accept you're a relic from a bygone era.

The video game 'culture war' continues to be largely occupied by people who aren't frankly intellectually equipped for... well... seemingly anything at all. They should leave the finer complexities to people with IQs higher than room temperature. It's embarrassing at this point.

It's true that Horizon: Zero Dawn and Forbidden West have sold a combined ~35 million copies across PS4, PS5, and PC. An insane success story. It's also true that everyone seems to hate Horizon. As a huge fan of the IP myself, I must admit that it feels awfully lonely out here.

No, Sweet Baby Inc. didn't 'extort' Game Science for $7 million to work on Black Myth: Wukong. How do I know? Because even $200 million games don't spend that on consultants. It's an absurd claim. I knew the story was fake the second I saw it. Stop believing everything you read.

The Helldivers 2-to-Xbox rumor begs a question: What could PlayStation possibly gain by selling in an ecosystem with cratering hardware sales and an audience that buys few games? Why throw a lifeline to a struggling competitor? Why create PR and marketing issues for low revenue?

Major changes to Xbox's Game Pass prove what we've long said: It doesn't work as-is. Period. A bigger story for our show is Sony stumbling into a superior Game Pass Standard analogue with PS+ Extra that's cheaper, has more and better games, and doesn't sacrifice the core model.

With PlayStation 6-related reporting circulating, a listener inquired how Sony may calibrate itself to compete with Xbox next-gen. My answer is: It's doubtful Sony continues to maintain focus on a competitor that has done such a continuously poor job of meaningfully showing up.

I'll be back to posting normal clips soon. With PS5 Pro around the corner, games coming out, and big announcements in the wings, we'll have much to discuss. In the meantime, though, here's a letter from Dustin to the Sacred Symbols audience that he asked me to read on the show.

Gaming and politics are deeply intertwined, from labor and manufacture to trade and regulation. We never shy away from that. What we won't do is endorse candidates or parties. Partisan politics represent the antithesis of natural inclusivity, and alienates instead of welcomes.

I loved Until Dawn, so I bought and played through PS5's Until Dawn Remake. Sony kinda just pooped this thing out, so they obviously don't believe in it. And maybe they shouldn't. 30 FPS, uneven visuals... and a sequel incoming, too?! I liked it. But the original is superior.

No, Sony doesn't have a secret exclusive deal for Black Myth: Wukong. How do I know? It's simple: Sony never promoted it as such, devs of timed exclusives would never be allowed to explicitly mention competitor platforms, and it doesn't even run well on PS5. Use your noggins.

Back in 2014, I was by far the biggest Freedom Wars stan in the industry. (Vita, too, but you already knew that.) To commemorate its return -- ported from Vita to PS4 and PS5 (and Switch and PC!) in 2025 -- here's my "Hot Pepper Gaming Review" from way-back-when. Enjoy. <3

One listener asked: Who's the most hated member of Last Stand? We came up with this list, in order: Jaffe, me, Chris, Gene, Dustin, Matty, Cog, Brad, Micah, Dagan. (Real talk: I don't like how mean people are to Jaffe, honestly. Seems unearned and cruel a lot of the time.)
