EP14: Side Quest - Games as a Service

On this Episode, Elias takes over, and as is to be expected, it's all about video games. With guests Epic Credos, Cholwe, Eddie and Daniel Tumelo, we talk about the changing landscape of the video game industry and community.

In the news, we talk about Mark Cerny's Wired interview, where he talks publicly about the next generation PlayStation console (unofficially dubbed the PlayStation 5), and we discuss what these revelations mean for the future of PlayStation.

In the show's topic, the panel discuss the current state of video games, the Games as a Service model, and how this affects the different sectors of the industry: game development, ESports and community.

We also discuss both Apple and Google's differing approaches to a subscription based model with Apple Arcade and Google Stadia respectively.

And finally we discuss the brewing war for the PC games distribution market between Steam and The Epic Games Store, and the effect it may have on PC gaming.
