    Trophy Whores 725 – Six-Way Melee

    Whoa, Shuhei!  We’ve got a lot to talk about.  Stack it up and feel the power of a superior sextet!  Join Tricky, Matt, Alex, Yield, Darrell and Joe as they discuss, among other things, Buckshot Roulette, Dinoblade, Mercenaries 2: World in Flames, and Palworld.  What’s more, we delve into the most recent PlayStation Network outage, and we ponder Xbox CEO Asha Sharma’s admission that Game Pass has not “provided meaningful growth” (for Microsoft).  After what seemed like a rather rosy start for Sharma, she seems to be cleaning up quite the mess.  Who wants all that stress?  Former Xbox executives Phil Spencer and Sarah Bond absorbed game companies like Pac-Man — or Ms. Pac-Man — devoured pellets and adopted a multiplatform publishing strategy.  Sharma cited multiplatform sales as failing to meet internal expectations.  With rumors swirling that Microsoft wants to spin off its Xbox gaming division, we wonder how Sharma can turn this around the Xbox brand. And if you think that’s all, then you’ve got another thing coming!  As usual, the news is full of surprises.  We hit the high notes, and we hit the low notes, but we’ll always bring the banter.  What are you waiting for? Dive in! As always, the opinions fly fast and heavy! Look out for this super-sized show, as the seemingly smallest conversation veers off into a multiverse of chit-chat. Sounds cool, huh? That’s the fancy way of saying “derailment.” And there’s plenty of that to go around! Let’s dance, Heroes of the XMB! In a bit of big news that would make the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles proud, iHeartRadio, Pandora and Spotify host episodes of Trophy Whores. It’s a tremendous honor for the show to be part of three massive and respected entertainment communities, and Proven Gamer have only the fans to thank for pushing the podcast to soaring heights. The Trophy Whores work hard to put out a quality weekly show, but they owe so much love to their listeners, who keep the show strong and growing.

    Trophy Whores 724 – GameStop Don’t Need No Physical Games

    Whoa, Shuhei!  We’ve got a lot to talk about.  Stack it up and feel the power of a dynamic duo!  Join Tricky and Alex as they discuss, among other things, Cult of the Lamb: Woolhaven, Assassin’s Creed Rogue and Marathon.  What’s more, we delve into Sony Computer Entertainment’s PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium July catalog additions, and we ponder GameStop CEO Ryan Cohen’s comments on the company’s shrinking dependence on game sales.  As a reminder, GameStop, despite selling the discs to further our hobby, has never been a friend to gamers.  If you needed more evidence, then Cohen has provided all you need to hear.  Power to the players?  Power to the players my ass! And if you think that’s all, then you’ve got another thing coming!  As usual, the news is full of surprises.  We hit the high notes, and we hit the low notes, but we’ll always bring the banter.  What are you waiting for? Dive in! As always, the opinions fly fast and heavy! Look out for this super-sized show, as the seemingly smallest conversation veers off into a multiverse of chit-chat. Sounds cool, huh?

    Trophy Whores 723 – Sharma Resets XBOX

    Whoa, Shuhei!  We’ve got a lot to talk about.  Stack it up and feel the power of a tremendous trio!  Join Tricky, Alex and Yield as they discuss, among other things, Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice, Furi, and Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced.  What’s more, we lament significant layoffs within XBOX Game Studios as part of a “reset” of the division, and we delve into Sony’s continued silence against fallout for aggressively pushing an all-digital future.  As we have continually said, Sony need to clarify if the discontinuation of discs covers all games published for PlayStation consoles.  As you might imagine, Sony’s announcement has caused a firestorm of chatter on the Internet.  And Sony are certainly taking their lumps.  Despite a wide proliferation of digital sales, we all know people who have sworn allegiance to physical media — and they will die on that hill. And if you think that’s all, then you’ve got another thing coming!  As usual, the news is full of surprises.  We hit the high notes, and we hit the low notes, but we’ll always bring the banter.  What are you waiting for?

    Trophy Whores 722 – Sony’s Disc-Respectful Future

    Whoa, Shuhei!  We’ve got a lot to talk about.  Stack it up and feel the power of a tremendous trio!  Join Tricky, Alex and Yield as they discuss, among other things, Saros, Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, and Marvel’s Blade.  What’s more, we delve into Sony Computer Entertainment’s decisions to shut down the PS3 digital store and to cease disc production for PlayStation games (in 2028).  Sony need to clarify if this is games published by Sony or all games published for PlayStation consoles.  As you might imagine, Sony’s announcement has caused a firestorm of chatter on the Internet.  And Sony are certainly taking their lumps.  Despite a wide proliferation of digital sales, we all know people who have sworn allegiance to physical media — and they will die on that hill.

    Trophy Whores 721 – Higher Prices Launch Higher

    Whoa, Shuhei!  We’ve got a lot to talk about.  Stack it up and feel the power of a tremendous trio!  Join Matt, Alex and Yield as they discuss, among other things, Darksiders Warmastered Edition, Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice, Starfox, Kena: Bridge of Spirits, and Grand Theft Auto VI.  What’s more, we lament layoffs at Bungie and Electronic Arts, and we delve into pricing options for Valve’s Steam Machine.  We know that gaming has never been cheap, but we’re getting sick of all these price increases.  If prices continue on an upward trajectory, at this rate, then it becomes harder (and harder) to blame consumers for tightening their spending. And if you think that’s all, then you’ve got another thing coming!  As usual, the news is full of surprises.  We hit the high notes, and we hit the low notes, but we’ll always bring the banter.  What are you waiting for? Dive in! As always, the opinions fly fast and heavy! Look out for this super-sized show, as the seemingly smallest conversation veers off into a multiverse of chit-chat. Sounds cool, huh?

    Trophy Whores 720 – Now With Ads

    Whoa, Shuhei!  We’ve got a lot to talk about.  Stack it up and feel the power of a terrific twosome!  Join Tricky and Matt as they discuss, among other things, 007 First Light, Darksiders Warmastered Edition, Kena: Bridge of Spirits, Halo: Campaign Evolved, and Grand Theft Auto VI.  What’s more, we delve into Electronic Arts’ reveal of EA Advertising, a platform to help put ads in your games, and we lament the loss of Xbox studio and Senua’s Saga developer Ninja Theory.  Hellfire!  Drat!  Darn you, Microsoft!  The Ninja Theory team was lauded for its work on Enslaved: Odyssey to the West, DmC, and Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice.  Microsoft must have the Grim Reaper on speed dial. And if you think that’s all, then you’ve got another thing coming!  As usual, the news is full of surprises.  We hit the high notes, and we hit the low notes, but we’ll always bring the banter.  What are you waiting for?

And if you think that’s all, then you’ve got another thing coming!  We hit the high notes, and we hit the low notes, but we’ll always bring the banter.  What are you waiting for? Dive in!
