Episode #19: Console Exclusives - Good or Bad?

05/31/21 • 56 min

Join us this week as we tackle one of the biggest marketing techniques in the gaming industry right now with Microsoft gobbling up all the studios: Do Console Exclusives Help or Hurt the Industry? Find out what we think in our Main Quest as we discuss the history of console exclusives and the current rise in promoting them as the selling point for next gen consoles.

We also have the debut of a shiny new Side Quest: Into the Gaming Multiverse. Listen as Sales pitches to us a video game character that would be better suited in a different gaming universe than his own. Will Butler and Koops love the new game creation or will they opt to keep the original? See for yourselves now!
