Why Are Games So Much Like Jobs?

How should video game consoles differentiate themselves without exclusives? Do games make us more or less lonely? And are RPGs popular because they feel like jobs? This week, Maddy, Jason, and Kirk open up the listener mailbag and take some of your (excellent) questions. Plus: three killer new games that are out this week!

One More Thing:

Kirk: Sunderfolk (PC, Consoles, Switch)

Maddy: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

Jason: The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy
