    • Technology

From patches and updates, to seasonal content and daily challenges, the ubiquity of live games has grown exponentially in the internet age.

While the promise of an ever-changing game can be enticing, not all live games are created equal. On today's show, we discuss the evolution of technology, commerce and art that have allowed live games to rise in dominance over the past decade. We also wax nostalgic over a simpler time when the game you bought was all the game you were ever gonna get.
