O fuck no Matty?! Welcome to the Xbox cope cast then

I’m still working at the new HyperX office across from inxile. It’s in Tustin CA so it’s real close to Blizzard in Irvine so it makes sense that they’re working so close with each other

You’re out of line, but you’re right. Cog’s optimism and Matty’s skepticism balance each other out really well and creates an excellent dynamic on the show. Without Matty, that balance falls apart and DD starts to sound a lot like some of the far less reputable Xbox podcasts in this space.

Zachary

Exactly! I love your profile pic lol that was a legendary moment.

I had to tap out during the Xbox exclusive section. It was too delusional to endure. Xbox isn’t playing 4D chess to be the next Roblox. They lost a game of chess trying to play checkers and are now looking for an exit that doesn’t embarrass them (aka, hurt the stock). The studios are fine (mostly), but the platform is mortally wounded. There is no conceivable way the next Xbox can claw away enough market share to justify the cost of developing exclusives.

Lmao what do you expect when they bring in two clowns? A circus lol

Hell yeah, always love the XB2 collab episodes. They are the reason I became a DD listener in the first place

How is Xbox supposed to compete with Netflix and Roblox when it’s unable to compete with PlayStation, Nintendo, Steam, and the Kinect clone that I’ve forgotten the name of

I dunno first 10 mins they are talking about how bad the platform is for new game makers to work on . Doesn’t sound like to much cope . But I’ll listen on .

I hope Xbox does go back to having exclusives, only because I want to hear Colin drag them through the mud. 😁

Jez and Rand are the GOATs. Don’t listen to the haters.

Awesome episode and having Rand and Jez on was great! I love how knowledgeable they are when it comes to xbox

What if Xbox changed the game subscription to be heavy game discounts, cutting the price for the highest tier down to like $25 and having each tier apply those discounts at different levels of depth? So the lowest GamePass tier could be 50% off on first party, then the second could add on 25% off third party, then the third could bump it to 50% on third party as well. The idea being that consumers would be pushed towards Xbox first party purchases by the cheaper subscription tier, teased with discounts on third party within that second tier, and then enthusiasts paying for the third tier would get discounts on a much wider pool of GamePass games than just those provided by Xbox first party.

Well Rand was correct about the price drop to $22.99, and Jez was right about no more CoD, and it did happen soon. I am sure this will be a big topic for this weeks show!

#DDJuice Episode was so good. Much prefer these guests. They had great, in-depth thoughts on Xbox and didn't just parrot games media talking points. Refreshing. Well done.

Mr. Scott If You're Nasty

Haha I love hearing the comments from the Sacred fans. The minute they don't hear Sony or games media talking points, their little hearts burst

Rob P

Does Jez know that Roblox loses tons of money? That's who he wants Xbox to compete with?

Bob Spiers

I’m really enjoying the episodes. Keep it up cog 💪
