Question from MAINEac17:Q1) Why or why not should Pub G be eligible for Game of the Year?Q2) Should the Loot boxes originally implemented (by giving an advantage,pay to win) in Battlefront 2 be considered gambling?https://www.polygon.com/2017/11/22/16690182/battlefront-2-loot-crates-hawaii-belgium-banned-regulation-investigate

Comments1) Really enjoying the show!2) Should have a quiz or Game for the show.

Concerns 1) The FreeToe having an odor?!2) My indecision on buying Battlefront 2

Question from Mark:Does Pub G sound like a bar you would go to? Would this bar be located in England?Which is worse paid dlc/season passes or loot boxes? The last battlefront had paid dlc bringing the overall price to over $100 the same with the COD and various other games with no outrage. which kind of burned me because they ended up being games that didn't really hold my attention by the time all the dlc came out so i guess that's on me. The second battlefront tried loot boxes and the outrage or bandwagon outrage has been covered pretty extensively already. So can game devs really ever win, ultimately it's a business, they're supposed to make as much money as possible right? Or do the self entitled gamers win?

Question from Mark (TeamChaos)I wonder how much a guy like Doc could affect a games developement, like do you think devs listen to streamers/pro players?

Question from Larry:What up badfodderfigures,

Question from Bibbers:What do your guys figure the average longevity of a good game should be? 1 year? 6 months?I know I have several games that hold my attention for a few months, but then die off when the next big thing comes along. So let’s hear it, longevity and how can developers keep the community engaged.

Comment from HolyGoalie:Playing games in 4K on the PS4 pro is great. But now when I play on my Xbox S , it looks blurry. As stupid as that sounds. So yeah now I gotta look into an Xbox X at some point too keep everything the same graphically across both platforms. The struggle is real as they say. But once you play in 4K there really is no going back.
