Say Anything | Sacred Symbols, Episode 284

After a long wait, PlayStation utilized Geoff Keighley's Game Awards to reveal new information about its upcoming slate of first party games. Psych! While TGA's three-hour runtime was ample -- and while a litany of quality games were announced and explored -- PlayStation's complete lack of first party presence (outside of free God of War: Ragnarok DLC) is notable. Will the company ever talk again? Or will we continue to be stuck in this pincer, with promising second and third party games coming down the pike, but precious little information about what matters most to Sony's more hardcore and devoted fans? Nonetheless, we break down The Game Awards' announcements one-by-one, getting deep into the likes of Exodus, Kemuri, Visions of Mana, Last Sentinel, Exoborne, and more. And there's a heck of a lot to talk about outside of the event, too, including the release of Grand Theft Auto VI's first official trailer and serious trouble brewing at Sony-owned Bungie. As is typical, we wrap things up with listener inquiries from the audience. Is Fortnite primed to take over the world? Do we simply have to spend more time with PSVR2? How long do retro enthusiasts expect their hardware to last? Can we get our hands on one of those "Thank You Jim" cookies from Jim Ryan's retirement party? Follow the hosts on Twitter!

Sometimes the off-the-cuff remarks drive me insane: "No one cared about CD Projekt Red until Witcher 3" Excuse me, what? The first Witcher game sold a million copies in a year, and then the sequel went on to sell 8 million. Wikipedia: "The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings received generally favorable reviews. It has won over 50 awards for best graphics, best adaptation or use of a license, best story, best PC game, best RPG, and Game of the Year." Hello, PC gaming exists and is a thing!

Regarding the conversation of GamePass on other platforms: I work in grocery stores (not glamorous, I know). In one I worked in we started a program where we would heavily discount our chicken when it got close to the sell-by date. Over time this did lead to more chicken sales but also corresponded to much lower revenue from those sales. We finally concluded that we were actually training our customers to just wait until the chicken was discounted before buying. Hardly anyone was buying full priced chicken. Sales went up, but revenue plummeted. Needless to say we implemented a different program after that but it took time for customers to get used to the new way of doing things and sales went down before they went back up.
