Xbox’s Excess Of Excuses About Exclusives (With Ash Parrish)

On this week’s episode, Nathan, Chris, and Luke are joined by The Verge’s Ash Parrish to discuss Microsoft’s weird podcast about its plans for a non-exclusive but still mostly exclusive future, which will involve dedicated hardware but will also circumvent the need for it? Look, it’s more weird decision-making from a company that seems to have a blurry notion of the point B it wants to arrive at but no idea how to get there. Elsewhere in the episode, we talk about Helldivers 2 – it’s rules, man, it rules so hard – and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth’s yellow paint nontroversy. Then we talk about how it’s somebody’s moral imperative to leak Coyote Vs Acme and other films that have been unceremoniously axed in the name of tax write offs. Lastly, thanks to Chris’ newfound passion for powder coating devices, we devise a scheme to powder coat the Statue of Liberty, which – you must agree – is overdue for a refresh.
