January 06, 2021Why Do Companies Keep Launching Games Imperfectly? (Ep. 27)
Hey Broke Asses!

“It’s Not A Bug! It’s A Feature!”
Video Games are buggy these days. We all know it, we all deal with it. But why? Why do developers keep releasing buggy games, what is the importance of day-1 patches, why do reviewers play old builds of games, and should people just start waiting for the game to be patched instead of jumping in at launch? All these questions are addressed this week as well as our news stories, hot hot deals, and all the video games we’ve been playing for a week!

BIG NEWS! In 2021 we will be coming to ALL PODCAST SERVICES! So, if spotify isn’t your thing, stay tuned to find out exactly when you’ll be able to find us where you want us!

Please send us an email to [email protected] with any feedback, questions, ask for video game recommendations, or just send kind words! We’ll talk about whatever you want us to!

We digress… SO, we decided to change the topic to a good old game of Broke Ass Trivia! Josh has 25 trivia questions for the guys after we talk about some industry news, some pretty solid sales and deals of the week and a few games we’ve all been playing!
