A NUANCED DISCUSSION ABOUT THE SIX DAYS IN FALLUJAH GAME Mar 26, 2021

Show notes

This week we dig into the controversy, angst, and confusion surrounding the tactical shooter and documentary videogame Six Days in Fallujah. We break down the fantastic Ryan McCaffery IGN interview that featured developers Peter Tamte and Jaime Griesemer. Talk about the obstacles they have in bringing home the vision they are trying to share. Why I agree with some of the anger we're seeing and why I think some of the calls to not cover a game like this don't do the industry any good. We also cover the Xbox Live name change, Sony pulling PS3 and Vita games, and why for me that's ok. Make sure to check out and give some love to our sponsors this month PUBG MOBILE!
