Easy Achievers Gaming Podcast Alex and Elijah

A PlayStation State of Play has come and gone so we have a little update from Sony to talk about. Fourteen games were shown and were given the PlayStation limelight. For a State of Play it was quite good however, as you will see in the show, I disagree heavily with how Concord was shown and "pitched" to us. Let me know if you agree or disagree below. I will let the show do most of the talking this week. Speaking of this week, hopefully the extra videos this week do not bother anyone out there as I am attempting a new direction for the channel. Always let me know your thoughts of course. Until next week, Go Achieve!

This is a casual episode of just talking about some subjects in gaming that has hit my mind throughout the conversation. I do not have much to add here unlike how it usually is in the description. Let me know on whatever thoughts you have on the video either agreeing or disagreeing.

We have a more active week in gaming news than expected as The Final Shape, Destiny 2's latest expansion, was leaked by Sony through an interesting workaround via Sony's cloud servers. This lead to a lot of the details of the expansion to be out there and if you believe some you had enough time to fully play the campaign so beware of spoilers. Other than this Sony actually shot themselves in the foot in another way but we will cover that in the show. Other than that the news was somewhat light as the State of Play, as of recording this, was due very soon so expect the video breaking that down to be live.

Well here we are as this week has changed from a noneventful week as it has been for awhile now to something feels like it has fundamentally changed in the Xbox ecosystem specifically to the fan and economic side. Since something so interesting happened I took the chance to grab Emmett Watkins Jr. on the show to give his thoughts on Xbox both closing four studios one being a seemingly successful studio in Tango Gameworks and how Game Pass seems to have changed its entire structure to an almost Activision like house of cards. I think this is a great episode but I only know that if I hear from you so let me know your thoughts on this show and any points in the show in the comments below. Thank you for your time!

A quick impressions video about my playtime in Stellar Blade. I am still early in but I feel like something is special about this game. Now to be clear, this is no Lies of P where a game comes out of nowhere and takes us all of guard but this game feels very fun and I think there is something here for a lot of people even though on the surface it seems very much geared to a specific subset of people. Lets talk about it!

2024 is almost halfway through and we are inching closer to nearly 10,000 lost jobs this year alone. It seems we are at a troubling time in the industry as on the surface Gaming is making more money than ever before and is ahead of all of its competitors in terms of money earned. However, ballooning budgets, economic effects, and much more factors are hurting the industry in its most important and weakest section, money. Combine all these factors are I believe gaming's future is uncertain. We know from much smarter people than I that gaming is not growing which is causing the big competitors to get creative on how they will increase their margins. That is what I want to discuss today, not to find a solution to this but to start a conversation on the how and why and what in the future may change. As always I thank you for taking the time to listen and read my little message and I hope you are well and continue to be so. Until the next time!
