About this episode

The episode discusses the impact of 'Live Service' games on modern gaming, exploring various titles and industry trends.

After a much-needed break to honor a dear mentor, The Scroll returns to tackle the "Live Service" infection taking over modern gaming. Join Boots and Frank as they break down the "Warzone-ification" of the Modern Warfare III campaign, the frustration of Black Ops 7 ’s forced co-op, and a heated "Boots to the Face" for EA’s predatory Sims 4 Marketplace split. From the ghost of multiplayer-past in Dragon Age: Veilguard to the cozy stability of Star Ocean , we’re dissecting why the industry is obsessed with "forever games" and what we’re playing to stay sane.
