Hello! This week Jymbo and Mike are answering the ultimate question: are Games as a Service really evil incarnate, or is there hope for them yet?

To provide an entirely unbiased, well-researched base to this we have sunk many hours (over many years) into live service games in preparation: Red Dead Online, No Man's Sky, Fortnite, COD Warzone, Plants vs Zombies... Nothing gets past our eagle eyes and twitchy thumbs.

Last ep of the season next ep! Please share questions, thoughts, requests for topics next series to [email protected], Twitter or Instagram. And enjoy!
