Incoming Missile Podcast Cozened Indigo and Capn Cat

Get prepping folks! We're bringing you a special DOOMSDAY episode, recorded deep within the Incoming Missile bunker. 

Sad but true: one day the MWO Apocalypse will come, the last match will end, the Rotatoes will spin no more, and the servers will go dark.   

In today’s episode we’re gonna be looking at how far off that day may be, and how it might play out when it does eventually happen. Then we’re gonna wrap up the episode with some conjecture about what future there is for the franchise, in particular the possibility of a MechWarrior Online 2.

Anyone remember what last years World Championship was like? In this episode, the Incoming Missile crew are re-releasing our post MechCon 2018 discussion with Krasnopesky, a participant in the finals and current co-organizer of this years upcoming tournament.

Be sure to head along to the MWO Comp Discord for all the announcements relating to the tournament, including when the competition windows are, specifically organized Fight Nights so you’ll always have someone to play, when the invitational tournaments are being held for those teams involved in that qualification path, and of course how you can become involved or join a team and play!

Kia ora mechfans, you favourite Kiwi podcasters are back and in Episode 23, Capn Cat and Cozened Indigo finally break their silence on PGI's recent announcement that they have taken an exclusivity deal with Epic Games, and MW5 will only be available via the Epic Games Store when it launches in Dec-19.

That's right, we're branching away from MWO in this episode and trying to have a reasoned discussion on this decision by looking at the facts and considering both a pessimistic and optimistic view of what we know.

You've probably heard alot of outrage, so we're putting our mellow Kiwi accents to good use and lowering the temperature a little so we can tackle question like whether PGI acted in bad faith, whether the EGS is a good thing or not, whether the deal is a cash over community move and whether PGI are doing whats best for the game or not.

Listen in on our takes and tell us whether you agree or not!
