It seems all any of you want to talk about is Concord, Sony-owned studio Firewalk's dead-on-arrival service shooter, and easily one of the biggest commercial bombs in PlayStation first party history. We have a lot to say about it, and you can find that chatter in the What We're Playing section. But there's a ton of other news this week, too, including more PS5 Pro leaks that show us what the console actually looks like, further trials and tribulations at Bungie, the announcement of Sony's MENA Hero Project incubation effort, Blue Protocol's cancellation, Foamstars going free-to-play, a looming strike at French studio Spiders, and more. Then: Listener inquiries. What can Sony do to ensure Fairgames doesn't fall into the same traps Concord did? Should PlayStation Studios be pursuing single player-friendly games-as-a-service, a la MiHoYo titles? Do we criticize or commend Konami for seemingly changing very little in MGS3 remake Metal Gear Solid Delta? What did Colin think of a particularly eldritch video Chris recommended, ranking Sonic's most attractive characters?Timestamps:0:00:00 - Introduction

Honestly I started to be able to bear all of Jaffes comments when I realized he’s just kind of an asshole himself.

Mr Sir

Bunch of sissies in these comments. I prefer Jaffes honesty towards republicans to Gene or Chris’ smug, condescending approach. And in keeping in that honesty, all three of them should be put on a train and sent to the camps.

Mr Worry

Jaffe is a 50 year old autistic man child and should not be taken seriously.

Ed Cruzat

I disagree with almost everything Jaffe says, but dammit do I love that man haha

Bryan Lozano

I’m pretty sure Chris is going out to see Andre 3k and not Outkast haha.

WreckItRoush

Jaffe will be Jaffe. Honestly, I’m far more disappointed Colin didn’t have someone more conservative than himself and his liberal compatriots on the dedicated political episodes. Gene is part of the DC machine, Jaffe may be Cenk Uygur’s long lost brother, and I’m still unsure if Chris is aware the US is made up of more states than California and New York.

Michael Hedrick

I couldn't agree with Jaffe more. Fuck the Republican party

AngelOfCake

When GDPR first came in it was an awful ballache to implement everything for it. Still is but one good thing came of it. 90% of marketing and notification emails require an unsubscribe link. So create a filter for the word "unsubscribe" ignoring case to send them to junk and it will catch most of them. You still have to look through the folder every now and then but it works quite well.

NeO JD

I got that email about the PS surveys but couldn’t do anything because the link they gave goes to a page that isn’t certified. Kinda fishy. Not surprised the Pro would launch without the hard drive but it’s still annoying having to spend an extra $80+.

MATT

I remember when PS released a video of 2 men swapping discs ,oh look at them now ,one store to shop at at high prices and no lending games to friends and family in a society that is getting super expensive

izell

The absolute pain to my ears Colin and Chris mixing up black eyed peas with OutKast

Gray

I kinda think FergieGate was on purpose. 🤔 “We do a little trolling….”

Michael Rogers

It's funny, whenever Jaffe pops off hes given all benifit of the doubt, nuance and understanding. Meanwhile the audience has to walk on eggshells and anything other than simping makes us close minded bigots with room temp IQ. I don't want Jaffe policed, but I also don't want to hear a host crying about one flippant comment in the thread. We all make offhand jokes occasionally.

AllTooEasy_

You have a limp definition of wild.

superbadisfunny .

I just choose to ignore every podcast with jaffe on it.

Dennis

I wonder if we are going to be gaslit again about this Fergie thing. Like last time with "Laxative-gate".

Simmo

We need and must protect jaffe at all costs. He's the sherlock to colins moriarty

Cyprus Davis

Concord is being bullied, I’ll maintain this stance 🥸

bigafroman14

Lmao I came back this comments section after a couple days and everyone is so sensitive

Morgan

Once all games are digital I am out. As soon as it's set in stone and becomes the norm I'm a permanent patient/retro gamer. I just can't trust companies with thousands of dollars worth of purchases being tied to a flimsy account that can be snapped out of existence. I'll be in the minority but my backlog will be massive.

C

So Jaffe says something stupid and people are all over it and want him punished as a result… are we forgetting Colin’s lore? If you want the podcasts to go PG, maybe you should take your ears elsewhere. There have been dozens of things said on the various podcasts that have been waaaaay worse than a little comment by Jaffe. Stop being so sensitive to everything, it’s getting unbearable to listen to.

Wings of Agitation

People leaving over the Jaffe thing is the most sensitive thing man..wow. You should bring him on more, I like him.

Asha Shwarma’s Karma

Corrupted saves and game breaking progression blocks are the worst. I picked up Tales of Kenzera Zau when it came out on PSN and reached a section requiring the gathering of three items. The game refused to acknowledge I retrieved these items but also never repopulated these items. While only 5 hours in, it definitely soured the taste and I moved on to a different game rather than retrace my steps. Just a turn off.

Paul Knickerbocker

I'm one of the rare people who won't get the PS5 pro now that it's most likely digital only. I buy most of my games physically and now I will have to buy an extra attachment just to play those games. This console will probably be close to 700 dollars and with a CD drive attachment it will be closer to 800 dollars. No thanks.

JB

So many unbearable political takes on this show. One of the main reasons I subscribe is because of that challenge. From Canada where free speech is not a given, keep it up.

KItty Crew

Jaffe is in his own words a racist. on his first appearance he said he said all white people are racist. he also took issue with a black women winning an award and thanking God. liberals like Jaffe are tolerant as along as you agree with him otherwise ur scum and a nazi. that being said his clownish comments and behavior don't phase me. he's a joke and mentally small.

Save The Game Media

How did Chris not correct Colin about the OutKast and Black Eye Peas mix up?

D

Derek "Motts-uh-rella?!" As a fellow Italian Irish American born on Long Island, I am appalled! MOOTS UH RELL UH!!!

suk.meXe

As an enormous Queen fan I feel like I have to come out and say Bohemian Rhapsody sucks turbo ass! The lyrics are nonsense, The whole opera part of that song is gimmicky (they never even played that part live), and it wasn't even a hit when it came out. Overhyped and it's only popular because of shit like Wayne's World and Glee. Let's stop jerking it off. Queen has a couple dozen better songs. A Day at the Races is a better album than Night at the Opera anyway I M O

Alex

Colin thinks there are a variety of viewpoints on his shows and I feel that he is greatly mistaken. The problem is that all of the outspoken members on LSM are mainstream progressives who are given a lot of airtime to expound upon their views. I'm not saying they shouldn't. The more conservative members I would venture to say are Ben and Dustin, however, they are intelligently quiet about the majority of their thoughts and beliefs because they don't want to delve deeply into the political cesspool. Colin can't fill that void because many of his views aren't compatible with many right leaning listeners. Therefore the issue is that one side is constantly bombarding their beliefs on listeners while the other side has no one to stick up for them in the digital ecosystem we call LSM. Imagine if the roles were reversed. I think people are just yearning for a sense of fairness in this tension filled election season.

Bailey Callis

This is the most toxic SS comments section I've ever seen. Jaffe got a lot to answer for 😂

Adam Martinez

I love how ppl are demanding a more politically conservative member to be hired in LSM as if it’s Colin’s job to make sure every single one of you has your political beliefs represented. Someone on the show has a different opinion than you - big fucking deal.

Dharmacist

Stick to 311 Colin. Fergie was never in OutKast. That was the black eyed peas. OutKast is Big Boi and Andre 3000. As Chris said Andre is fluting these days, Big Boi is sill dropping hip hop albums. I am sure you don’t give a shit, but Atlanta cares, so just calling it out (again, I’m sure).

Kyle

David Jaffy can say whatever he wants, and I’ll say he’s an out of touch boomer fuck head who’s content I go out of my way to avoid. Not gonna lie though, the more I see him here, the more I reconsider my patronage. Being a communist hack aside, his content just sucks.

Kony 2012 Fun Run

Concord already shut down indefinitely. This has to be the biggest failure Playstation has ever had

Glen Yelenovic

It’s wild listening to this as the news of Concord being taken offline and refunds to be offered

Mark ?️

One Concordillion dollars

john dorman

I love the way colin handled the Jaffe thing ! I like last stand specifically because Colin and people like Jaffe say what is on their mind without a filter.

GetNoct

It's been widely understood that any political content is heavily left leaning because Colin is the only voice of anything close to conservatism and even at that I wouldn't consider him such. But are we really thinking that calling any side "fucking assholes" is okay? I get Colin doesn't want to limit speech he's a big proponent of the 1st amendment and I respect that but this is entertainment and not the news. If you genuinely call what is more than likely half if not more than half of your audience "fucking assholes" do you think they'll keep paying? I do not believe everyone will up and leave all at once but if we're just going to start calling people names for their beliefs I certainly don't want to stick around. Large part of why I left kinda funny, everyone's a "best friend" unless you vote for Donald Trump. Who gives a fuck? Not saying Jaffe needs to be taken off the shows or even be limited to what he can say because we also don't need any type of echo chamber situation but c'mon man, generalizing an entire party is the first step to dehumanizing them and then hating people for what they believe, is that really the best route?

Gooch Gobbler

The fact that people want to make this community more conservative....it's already the most conservative big gaming podcast group. Colin is the one constantly talking politics and he is pretty conservative, Ben is, Dustin is, hell even Gene is from a lot of what I can tell. The other guys rarely, if ever, comment on politics until they are asked. Chris will say a random offhand comment if prodded. I constantly disagree with political things said on every show lol I get called slurs in the comments. How conservative do you guys want this place? I'm a white dude in the south and LSM seems pretty conservative

Nikky

I believe the issue with Jaffe is that he struggles to articulate his thoughts intelligently. While others can make jokes or say something outrageous and still back it up with intellect, Jaffe lacks this ability. This is why people are growing tired of him. His third-grade shock humor act becomes tiresome quickly, and people realize he lacks substance.

Germanos

Nah, Concord failed because of the discourse that combined woke, diversity, obese characters and other, totally not relevant in video games discussion, topics.

Cornelius

I'm not saying the Bungie guy is a certified monster and should go to jail or anything. Or that he should even be fired, I don't know the situation, maybe he could change his ways with a program or something. But Colin really put the nail on the head with the problem: 8 people? Texting and playing truth or dare with at least 8 lower level female employees? That's if not anything else, very unprofessional and is pretty weird no matter what. You're looking at your lower level employees to hit on on a regular basis? Nah dude that ain't acceptable

Brandon V

Once again, wokeism DID kill Concord. Wokeism is why Concord looks the way it looks, and the way it looks is what killed it. Therefore, wokeism killed Concord. How you don’t understand that is just wild to me. I am very happy to see it fail, as it sends the message that we do not want this shit. It sends the message that the “woke” are not a viable audience worth pursuing and pandering to.

Ryan

Chris making up that Mount Rushmore story on the spot is kinda impressive ngl

Kevin Cooper

Outkast? Pre-Fergie? Ya'll got it twisted with the Black Eyed Peas. Outkast was always a duo... Big Boi and 3 Stacks. Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik? ATLiens? C'mon man! Give me those tickets, lol.

Ryan

If we can all agree the terrible characters were one of the primary reasons for Concords failure, and that they are one of the biggest bunch of OBVIOUS dei/sweet baby focus grouped rosters in the hero shooter space, it stands to reason that it was ‘wokeism’ that was responsible for peoples disconnect with making characters that NOBODY wants to play with.

Marco Maluf

Jaffe talking politics is a fucking asshole, just ignore him, for any other topic when he is not interrupting, he can be entertaining, as a conservative pro trump and not even American, the freedom of speech is very precious, here in my communist progressive country brazil, our supreme court judge banned twitter because he felt like doing it. So all that aside, fuck your political deranged views Jaffe, now we are even 😂 its all under the bridge. 🫶🏼
