While Sony may have purchased Bungie with specific end-goals in mind, it's clear -- some two years later -- that the deal hasn't improved PlayStation whatsoever. In fact, it's becoming increasingly nebulous why the acquisition was made at all, with Bungie hemorrhaging money, laying off hundreds, shedding high-end talent, and churning through funds that could be better spent by Sony's actually reliable stable of teams. With further layoffs, the creation of a new spin-off first party squad, and drama galore, there's plenty for us to get into on this topic alone. But there are other things to discuss, too: Firesprite is seemingly making a PlayStation 6 game, Until Dawn Remake got an ESRB rating, Activision's compelling white paper makes a great case for skill-based matchmaking, and more. Then: Listener inquiries! Do we have any nostalgia for pandemic-era gaming? Would Sony have been wise to rely more heavily on established IP for their games-as-a-service push? With studio failures aplenty, is it even worth getting into game dev at this point? How has Colin been dealing with Boar's Head's darkest days ever?

ChrisColinDustin is gonna be well cooked that's for sure

Cyprus Davis

Before the dark times, before the Boar’s Head…before the Empire

Adam Morris

I feel like Dustin's first co-op game with that baby boy will have to be "Overcooked," no?

Austin DuBose

Skipped ahead to see if the Boar's Head merch I sent showed up lol it sure did. I don't know why they make those aprons so damn large

The Late Nate

Dustin's baby just doesn't want to come out in this crazy world. Honestly who can blame little Herman Furman?

latenitecali

What is the rdr2 video they keep talking about?

Phil Walker

I think your Bungie numbers are wrong. They are going from 1300 to 850 total. That includes the layoffs, the re assigned people and the spin off studio.

David D

The American mind cannot comprehend mighty EU consumer protection, hopefully the initiative passes but we'll have to wait and see, I think it would be a great thing for the industry in the long term.

Cormac

Chris I swear man, every week you say “I dunno why, but i’ve been thinking about [insert relevant topic on the show] lately” and it’s now at the point where I’m convinced you’re doing it just to see if anyone notices.

Bloated Backlog

(38:33) For video editing, definitely check out Davinci Resolve. I was so impressed I left Premiere behind, and that was about 2 years ago. The free version is surprisingly rich in features, and the paid version is a lifetime license that works on 2 computers (pc or Mac). (Edit) I kept listening and heard what Colin said. Lol. Davinci Resolve does help with choosing a layout to mimic other programs like Premiere to make the transition easier.

Hey Dustin, I'm gonna predict that as long as your son is healthy which I'm sure he will be is that after 6 weeks you will be ready to get back to work. We will miss you.

Greg McDonald

A $3 Bill Y'all reference? I know a Colin title when I see it

Jeffrey Rommel

Small interesting tidbit: Jesus's actual name is Yeshua - Jesus is just an English form of the name, but what many people don't know is that so is the name Joshua. So while many English speakers don't name their child Jesus, many do use the name Joshua, which is basically just another form of the name. This is why Moses's successor Joshua, and Joshua the high priest are often seen as precursors of Jesus.

Deemac

Didn't we hear a while back about Firesprite doing a new game, and it was described as a "Triple A Horror" title? I get what Dustin is saying about the type of game described in the story here - and maybe it has changed direction since earlier leaks - but an actual horror game would certainly be something a bit fresher from first party, if that's what it turns out to be of course.

Zack

Wait...2 girls one cup was fake?

James Pies

Craig Christ is from "Craig" a song by comedian Stephen Lynch

I'm happy for Chris and the Soul Reaver remaster but I'm worried that being it's a remaster and not a remake it is going to review/sell poorly and hurt the games legacy and chances at a new entry. While the VO and story are peak, let's be real, the gameplay holds up like crap. The box puzzles are horrendous. They would have been better off remastering the OG Blood Omen because for one it's a better game and all it really needs is some QOL updates like faster loading times and maybe a quick weapon switch function. Hopefully I'm wrong because I really want a new LoK game. I'm still buying day 1 for sure

Caleb Peacock

Boars head will be fine, Publix is an institution in the south and the subs are a way of life

Joseph Gedgaudas

Chris says he never played Until Dawn, but it was in his Top 25 PS4 games...

Yalingo

It's obvious now that Bungie sold to Sony to stem the bleeding of their over expansion. They were roughly 800 when they left Activision, expanded to 1400 over Covid, now they're back to 800. Clear mismanagement and they'd be in liquidation if not for the Sony deal.

Hozi

Side note: Bungie gave good advise to ND about LOU online, they had not accepted that they would have to support it for a long time and not have the bandwidth to do other projects.

Ryan Zimm

Jesus's name was actually Joshua in modern times. Yeshua while he was alive. I actually learned that from a great Christopher Moore book, Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal

Jack Johnson

Play all the 3D Mario games back to back. Dare you to put odyssey as your least favourite after 😉

Misko 1023

Colin, as a respectable graffiti writer, I love hearing that you wanna put some stickers up on the back of stop signs. I have already put some of your stickers up in public in the Twin Cities MN. Let’s get last stand All Country baby! 😉

Misko 1023

How do I join the last stand discord??

Ryan Taylor

On the topic of subscriptions, I appreciated recently that an app for the iPad I wanted, Goodnotes 6 gave me an option of a monthly subscription or one of payment that lasts forever. Wish more apps did this

Wesali

I did indeed buy a psvr2 about 2 months ago...

Gray Gordon

I think the EU consumer law that was proposed didn’t force developers to keep the game live, it just protected consumers to bring games online without fear of prosecution when said game company said they were no longer supporting it.

Daddy T

Colin’s argument about the 2 mill cars would only save around 15 jobs for a year, like, yes? Lol

AllTooEasy_

Can’t wait for that Rise of the erdtree spoiler cast! Thanks Colin!

Pan Ic

Is there any reason not to do a c-section?

Anthony Stewart

Interested in Soul Rever. My elementary school actually had a Mac with this game installed. And would play it during downtime.

MISZCZOGRZMOT

Hey guys. Great news about Soul Reaver. No one corrected you Colin yet, so guess I'll be the 'akschually' guy. Legacy of Kain doesn't end with Soul Reaver 2 or Blood Omen 2 - the story continues in Lok Defiance, which brings Raziel and Kain both as playable characters, and it concludes their story (to a point).

Bailey Callis

Call me a little bitch baby, but I miss 4+ hour episodes 😅

Draven E.

Sacred Symbols Plus: Chris’s live reaction to two girls one cup lol

Kevin Cooper

Nardwuar. A national treasure. #DootDoot

Kevin Cooper

My gut says that it was ultimately Jim Ryan's fault that the due diligence wasn't done thoroughly enough before the purchase of Bungie. He probably thought that they needed to lock Bungie down before someone else did, and pushed the deal through.

Where Germany props up countries like Spain, France and Greece? I believe that’s why Great Britain left the EU if I’m not mistaken. Mainland Europe is a welfare state propped up by a few hard working countries. You just want protections for those that don’t hold their weight

Alan Yungwirth

Been watching Nardwuar interviews since I was in middle school in 2006 and to hear him get mentioned in SS is such a good feeling. It’d be so interesting to have him on SS+ 😂
