At $60 a pop, a new AAA video game is no small investment, especially when projects these days are rarely released in tip-top shape. By resisting buying new titles at launch, though, can we force better outcomes for all of us? Or do we (as enthusiasts) simply lack the fortitude to effect real change? Let's discuss. Plus: Why do some publishers sacrifice short-term financial gain for long-term viability? How come Sony trademarked PS6, PS7, and other terms for machines that don't yet exist, and may never? Have we ever played a game that uncannily reflected our real life situations and feelings? When it comes to settings, which do we enjoy more: Sci-fi or fantasy? Listen to this week's mailbag-centric episode of SS+ for all that, plus much more (including a bit of spoilerless TLoU2 leak talk).
