Our show begins with some reflection on the news out of Jacksonville and the horrible incident at the Madden 19 tournament that took place there. Some strong feelings are expressed, but we return to the topic of video game news for the week including increased rumblings that Microsoft may offer some sort of subsidized Xbox One for an agreement to participate in the Game Pass program. It seems more and more game services are tilting towards subscriptions, could this be where the industry is headed? We discuss.
Also in the news:
* Comics coming to the Switch
* Twitch to remove ad-free Prime
* Dark Pictures Anthology
* Last Remnant to be removed from Steam
