Sacred Symbols+, Episode LIV: Half the Battle (Patreon)

In recent months, prolific toy manufacturer Hasbro has been steadily rolling out a reboot to Colin's beloved G.I. Joe line, and along with some new action figures and vehicles comes a new video game, too, one whose existence recently leaked thanks to an online retailer. We don't know much about it yet, but what we do know doesn't instill confidence, especially in the shadow of its recent, largely underwhelming Transformers-related efforts. So during this week's mailbag-centric episode of +, let's delve into how toy companies like Hasbro and its brethren can better treat their storied brands with video games that have the potential to be just as iconic as the toys, if not more so. Also: Did Sony make a mistake seemingly abandoning the DualShock moniker? How is Stadia still alive? Should every game have a jump button? Will Sony be able to convince consumers to buy-in with PSVR2? Was it a mistake to wait so long to follow-up 2016's very successful Ratchet & Clank game? This episode jumps into all of that and more. So come hang out!
