Sony couldn't help but notice it was making billions of dollars a year on others' games-as-a-service, and wondered: What if we pursued this more aggressively ourselves? That makes perfect sense. But how the company went around this pursuit? Well...

Aladin_Slow

Shadow drop, good shit 😂 I appreciate you found the time even though you're doing so much already.

Side Quest is BACK LETS GO! I loved this series for deep dives on these topics. I definitely want more of these but Colins idea of once a month or something is great.

i've never and clicked on a video so fast, other than the 1st Punching up! Side Questssss!!!!!

Ryan Guldner

More people watched this than played Concord. Sony should invest in the podcast over live service. Would make more money

LET’S GO BABY

Fantastic to see this! Thanks to Colin and the editor, for all the effort. ❤️ 🫡 I know Helldivers 2 was not created as a GaaS title, but it has left me wondering about studio collaborations… I know it may not make sense for lore/setting reasons but I can’t help but imagine Microsoft collaborating on Gears of War (whether it be DLC or, more likely, a timed event, that would expire), as well as Resistance. Hell, let Bungie & MS collab on some Halo content for HD2, which would be cool because it would get closer to the origin of Halo (a 3rd person game for Apple, of all things). 🤷‍♂️

Heeeeeey, Side Quest? And in my birthday. Thanks LSM

I also think there is a big problem with bloated and over budget single player development. I know you say Colin that people demand bigger and better games. But how can that be when the trophy data says most people don't even finish them? Why does TLOU 2 cost 220 million to make? Why does it need to be like 25+ hours long? In the same world where Remedy can make Control for 30 million. The math isn't mathing here.

I still think this game would have been a success if they would’ve just used PlayStation first party IP for the characters. No one had any attachment to the bland ass characters they made, and all you’re left with is people saying your game is a cheap rip off of overwatch. Meanwhile, marvel rivals is printing money cuz they did the same thing but used characters that people know and love already. Yeah, sometimes it’s really that simple.

So happy to see a side quest drop!

I know they cancelled Last of Us Factions, and maybe it would look bad to change their minds, but what if they put it out for $20 or something? It feels insane at this stage they let Bungie choose their fate

MnTwinsfan92

Is this Patreon exclusive? And if so, for how long? I'd probably share it with some friends but obviously don't want to if not public yet

Lee Davies

I'm two minutes into this video, and I already know that it's better than any other video on this subject. Colin, you're such a good writer and it's great to see this type of content is back on the menu

Scot Cruickshank

Fantastic job Colin! These video essays are probably a shitload of work but I bet they will attract a bunch of new eyeballs to da brand!

Wesali

This didn't show up on my RSS, found it completely by chance!

Joel Nehlmark

Are you kidding me?! I loved the videos Colin used to do early on the channel, saving in to whatever subject he wanted to discuss. Very articulate as always! Would love more content like this ❤️ Thanks for this video!

AllTooEasy_

Nice return to form here

Envydiel

GOOD LUCK 2X LISTENERS 😅

Alex Camejo

Side Quest? Yessssss! The return is fantastic. Concise, direct, to the point. Love this type of supplemental content. Great editing as well.

KeanuReeve

That was awesome Colin. Back into tip top form on your first try. Thanks for this!

barakuda126
