The Great Video Game Crash of... 2024?
Whew boy, video games, am I right?? 2024 started off with a bang with many development studios laying off several thousand employees in just the first three months alone. Problem is, these publishers are also mentioning record profits... what gives? Then several high profile releases like Suicide Squad underperformed, but WB quickly decided NOT to learn its lesson and committed to produce even more games of its ilk! In light of this, and of an all digital future looming ahead, is there any hope for video games in 2024? I'm bringing on forestminish and Kevin Kenson this month to get to the bottom of this!

2024 started with a lot of prolific YouTubers announcing their retirement, citing burnout from an unforgiving algorithm. I've gathered a crack team of full-time creators including streamer ProtonJon, video maker Shesez of Boundary Break, as well as a full-time social media manager and mental health/self care advocate selfcaregamer to talk about what burnout and the algorithm mean to them.

2023 Was a Weird Year for Video Games
Well gamers, 2023 is almost over. What was probably one of the best years of video games was also one of the worst for the people who are tasked with making them. I'm joined by Rebecca Stone once again, AKA forestminish, as well as a newcomer to the podcast, Mike Minotti of GamesBeat, to talk about all the major events and games that came out of this year, along with what we're looking forward to next year!
