Episode 116 - Gamepass loses it's mind, EA goes private & Waterworld gets a good game
Good Morning CoinDroppers
NEXT EPISODE 30 OCTOBER Halloween Special
Today We're talking about some industry news as well as a game we Mike and I commented on when it was debuted at the THQ Nordic Showcase earlier this year.
Xbox Gamepass
Even though Xbox just hiked the price of gamepass from $16.99 to $19.99 last year they announced ANOTHER price hike this year to $29.99 and nobody liked that. In fact it was so universally hated that Gamepass' cancelation site crashed from all the people canceling their subscriptions.
EA Buyout
EA is going private after a 55 Billion Dollar buy out by the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund, Silver Lake, and the Affinity Partners. This move could be good and it could be bad. Only time will tell but what we do know is that EA is going to be carrying a lot of debt for quiet a while as a result of the buyout.
Tides of Tomorrow
Mike and I talked about the announcement of this game during our coverage of the THQ Nordic showcase. Well they just dropped a demo and I must say it's a rather enjoyable experience. I'm looking forward to the full release.
