Welcome to The Crossplay Cooperative!

We've hit episode 10, so of course it's our longest episode yet!

In this episode we have our first listener topic and chat about the role of narrative in video games. We also have a big dive into the concerning issues within Microsoft and mourn the loss of a couple of games industry figures. 

So stick around and listen! Also, hit us up with your opening question or topic! We'd love to have that as an opener for the episode.
