Farewell Physical Media, We Hardly Knew Ye
About this episode
The episode discusses the decline of physical media in gaming and the evolution of the internet with guest Wes Fenlon.
On this week’s episode, Nathan and Riley are joined by Wes Fenlon of PC Gamer to discuss his new project: Warp Point, a web 1.0-style webring of video game blogs for the modern era. We discuss how the current internet is dying while a new one struggles to be born and whether or not newer generations will take to a format with which most millennials are intimately acquainted. Does that even matter, though, or is a fixation on numbers and scale one of the main reasons the modern internet turned out so rancid in the first place? Then we move on to the news of the week: Xbox layoffs haven’t even happened yet, but they’re already causing turmoil for companies like Hitman and 007 First Light maker IO Interactive, and—on the other side of our rapidly escalating industry collapse—Sony announced that it’s phasing out physical discs entirely, a quake that will surely be followed by countless ripples. To cheer ourselves up, we invent the ultimate video game controller, which doubles as the world’s most complicated guitar.
