To be blunt, I think humans will always appreciate; blood, sweat, and tears, rather than; ones, zeros, and thermal grease. Companies will always go the cheaper route.

I've watched a few things Phil Spencer has been on over the past 5 years. I feel like he has to try to hard to seem interested. He comes across as a Try-hard to me. I purchased a Series X as a long time Xbox fan. I played a few of my original Xbox games that were supported by backwards compatibility and it was admittedly a pretty great experience. I also purchased Gamepass and was a subscriber for the first year of it being available. It was a very novel idea for games when it first came out. I purchase most of the games I want to play on disc or digitally and found little to entice me to keep subscribing. It doesn't seem like a sustainable business model to me, but I also thought the same thing about the Nintendo DS when it came out, so who knows? I have been listening to your podcast for many years now and finally decided to become a subscriber. You guys have always done an outstanding job, and I appreciate your brutal honesty with one another. I hope you guys keep going for many years to come. As a 44 year old gamer myself I really appreciate your points of view, and I mostly agree with how you guys see things. I hope life keeps being interesting and fun for the both of you! I appreciate your discussions on game collecting. I have gone through this cycle a few times myself over the years. I recently started collecting NES and famicom games again after a 15 year hiatus. It has been very entertaining to go through your backlog of NES videos. I agree completely with both of your takes on Ai and Video games. This same thing is going to happen with movies as well. I think this singular disrupting technology and its use in the creative space will drive physical game prices higher over the next 15-25 years. I have a 15 year old son that has grown up with full access to my physical game collection and very much enjoys the physicality of ownership. He has a very nice Atari 2600 collection of carts that he curated himself over the years. He was actually my deciding factor on why I cancelled game pass. He doesn't care for it, and would rather own the games that he likes to play physically. This is certainly a most interesting time to be into this hobby! Take care guys, and thanks again for your interest in video games!
