Disney And Fortnite Sitting In A Tree, S-Y-N-E-R-G-I-Z-I-N-G

On this week’s episode, Nathan, Chris, Luke, and Riley discuss Disney’s $1.5 billion investment into Epic Games for an even bigger slice of the Fortnite pie, as well as all the ways Disney has stumbled into gaming success (and failure) in the past. This gives way to a conversation about the sanitized Disney of the modern day and where, with corporations feeding them slop, kids now go for their necessary doses of weird. Then we talk about Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, Microsoft’s seeming shift away from Xbox-exclusive games, and IGN’s drive to become the biggest unionized video game publication in existence. And we do it all without any technical issues whatsoever. It’s crazy, really, if you think about it.
