Join Brad and Micah on Dense Pixels for a candid discussion about the latest developments in the gaming industry. They explore the recent layoffs at Epic Games, including the departure of Steam Spy creator Sergiy Galyonkin, and the reported halt in development for The Last of Us Factions. The hosts dissect the resumption of the FTC's case against Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard and Jim Ryan's legacy at Sony. They also delve into Electronic Arts' decision to remove the FIFA back catalogue from digital storefronts ahead of the FC24 release. In a thought-provoking segment, Brad and Micah examine the concept of sequels that offer "more of the same" and whether it remains a viable approach for major game releases in today's industry.
