ZEN 226 (Zenspath Entertainment Network Podcast) Gaming's Fall and Some Future Hope
This week on the Zenspath Entertainment Network (Ep 226) Jeremy, Stephen, & Chase talk about a growing dark time in gaming with Sony laying off a large chunk of Bungie & removing over 500 StudioCanal digital movies from users with no refunds, Microsoft is raising the cost of their Xbox hardware AGAIN, Rockstar announces Grand Theft Auto VI for $80 & $99 but only as a code in the box, Valve announces the surprisingly high cost of the Steam Machine, & more! We also returned for a new "Let's Talk About It" segment where we talk about the increasing financial burden of gaming as well as the loss of ownership with a push for digital only releases.  Our "Big Question" for this week is "What is a game that you were excited to play, but when you finally got it it didn't gel with you?"
