Listener Questions

@HydeLegion

I have 2 questions.

1: What do you all think about the idea of recency bias in the Game Awards nominees?

2: How do you feel about the state of the industry? With several outlets seeing massive layoffs or completely shutting down, does it make you worry for its future?

Scott Oroepel

@scottOroepel

If Among Us is nominated why wasn't CrossCode? It's up for my GOTY this year.

Also, I can't choose between Ashley Johnson and Laura Bailey. Both are phenomenal. Where do you stand?

Hey gamers, question for you: what if energy drinks were made from ground up sausages?
