As Playstation 5 specs were revealed, it was a perfect opportunity to discuss what that means for the future of console market. Will consoles still remain the main platforms for games? How Sony's Playstation 5 compares to Microsoft's Xbox Series X? Does it even matter in the long-run, if hardware is not the main driving force when it comes to selling consoles? What kind of impact console exclusives will have?

We are joined by IluminateSky (aka John) and Ray Edmunds, as we're discussing the pros and cons of Live Service in video games, and whether it's better than Season Pass with "guaranteed content". Which business model is better? Which method guarantees more content? Which provides more quality than quantity?

In today's episode, Lanky, Ray and Andre are talking about the reimagined console war on PC - Epic Games vs Steam. Is Epic the only company that can compete with Steam? Is it consumer friendly by buying games for exclusivity? What it means for the gamers just trying to enjoy their games?

Lanky wanted to talk about grinding in modern video games, so he brought up this idea for the podcast. Every game has a Battle Pass, where everything is time gated, and you have to grind for the content you wish for. Is it good or bad? Is it better than Season Passes? How much grinding you're willing to accept for the game to be enjoyable?

This is somewhat of a special episode, because we haven't chosen a topic to discuss today. It's a really casual, relaxed day, and we decided to make a casual episode. We discuss Final Fantasy 7 remake, console exclusivity, and some really interesting idea of Battlefield going free2play for 2021.
