DLC Release Finished Games!

Explicit content warning

03/06/24 • 76 min

How many idiots does it take to complain about the gaming industry? Well, the more the merrier but turns out two can get the job done. Video game companies have been shipping half-finished games for a long time now, we expect it at this point. That said they don’t need to be competing with each other to see who can launch the most incomplete game with the most expensive, worst DLC. Some gems have come out through the years, what makes them great and the others absolute garbage? Why do people buy skins and color packs like it’s actual content? When does DLC just become the sequel to the game? We try to answer these questions and more in this Man Down Episode.

Gaming burnout or gaming fatigue. What kind of sick perverse nonsense is that? Getting tired or bored with fun? It’s more like too much of a good thing is still a bad thing. In this episode we talk about our experiences with it and some casual ways to mitigate, so we don’t hit the wall and miss out on fun more than we have to.
