Hitpoint Pals

Episode 30: How can a single player RPG be "dead?" We take a look at the tumultuous evolution of player-developer interaction over time, and the expectation players have grown to have for not just technical patches, but free content updates. A new culture has formed around reworking games that had less than stellar releases a la No Man's Sky, and the way players expect studios to fix bad games they paid for rather than move on to something new. We're calling out backseat developers and pondering over what our expectations should be when we buy a game. Discussed: Remnant: From the Ashes, No Man's Sky, Minecraft, Fortnite, Overwatch, Rimworld Keep up with the show and send us your questions on Twitter! Hitpoint Pals features the voices of William Suitt, Rebekah Markillie, Caleb Warwick, and our producer Travis Lien. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/hpp/message
