Remap Radio: $22.99 Has a Bad Vibe

About this episode

The episode discusses the recent price changes of Game Pass and various related topics in the gaming industry.

The biggest move since Xbox installed a new CEO is a familiar move: changing the price of Game Pass. Which gets the Remap Radio crew into a long consideration of the vibes around various price points. Does $8.99 feel good? Does $11.99? Join Rob, Janet, Chia, and Patrick as they consider money, before talking about Gamers (tm) suing Nintendo over tariffs, Rob’s early experiences in Crimson Desert, Chia and Patrick exploring Titanium Court, and much more. Reminder: Last year, the pro-Palestinian human rights movement BDS that’s pressuring Israel by promoting boycotts, divestment, and sanctions against the country added Xbox to its boycott list.
