[@SIFTDGames]

Will Grand Theft Auto VI save PlayStation 5? Is console gaming becoming an old man's hobby? Is Game Pass on PS5 inevitable?

Thanks Shane and Mr. Pach. I hope this message reaches the big Publishers and that things change in the future.

Thank you for the show

This seems like the perfect question for Pachter.

I'm glad Gearbox looks like it'll get the opportunity to build Borderlands 4. I very much would like another one. The DLC plan on the last one sucked though, so they gotta go back to what made the other games' post-game support so good.

Mechwarrior is genuinely still going, Mechwarrior 5 is in the top popular list on both Epic and Gamepass.

Avalanche is 600+ people lol It was easily 300+ around the time Disney cancelled their studio

They shut it down cuz all the workers left over are a liability.

Tango Gameworks shouldn't have been closed. If Microsoft really didn't want or need them? Just sell them to the highest bidder so they can continue to make games.

But here is the thing - Mikami left the studio. He was what they were really after. Would anyone really be willing to buy Tango without him? Hi-Fi is a great game but it didn't sell on Xbox *and* PlayStation... It was almost like Xbox gave them a second chance with the PS5 release. I'm not saying it was right but I understand the business pov.
