The Reformed Gamers

How has life in quarantine been?

Editor Note: Hey, Logan here. I edited this episode so Skinner could spend time with family (please be praying for him and his family as they grieve the loss of his uncle). If this thing sounds awful, send your hate mail to Adam's yahoo email: belieber4eva.

COVID-19 has had some long lasting effects over the past few months. There are plenty of thoughts and reactions within the gaming industry. Join Adam & Micah as they go over the different delays, product shortages, and how Final Fantasy VII Remake came at just the right time.
