Let's talk: The Future of Game Freak after Scarlet & Violet (Nintendo, Gaming Industry, and more)
In which my friend E and I go over the "merits" of releasing unfinished games.
As per usual, my schedule slipped. I recorded this In Feb 2023 and am just now releasing it. But it's timely (and timeless) because I crap on EA. Lo and behold, I'm publishing this pretty close to the release of Jedi Survivor.
