2 Player Co-op Podcast

It was a slow news week (because the guys sat down to record the night before Sony officially gave more details on the PS5.... thanks Sony!!!), so the guys decided to take a bit of a different approach to this episode.

Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo are all teaming up to fight back against the gambling aspect of Lootboxes, which makes the guys happy for sure, but some of the wording of their statements still gives them some concerns.

It was a rough week for video game conventions, and the guys have A LOT of thoughts on them. First off, PAX West canceled the Sacred Symbols panel with no explanation after telling Colin Moriarty for weeks that they were good to go and to promote the appearance to all his fans.

Again, this is unacceptable. Other topics include The Messenger DLC, Switch and PS4 hitting some lofty sales results, and the Modern Warfare Multiplayer Reveal.
