Marathon looks like another Concord disaster while BF6 haters ignore the actual sales numbers. This week I'm answering your questions about walking away from gaming after 25 years, the Kingsman tournament drama, why Battlefield 6's season delay isn't the problem everyone thinks it is, this week's free games on Epic and Prime, and the biggest question in gaming right now - what actually makes a game good? Plus we're diving into "criticised cannibalism" and how listening to the wrong voices is absolutely killing the industry.Member questions from James Larmer on Bungie's Marathon extraction shooter launching March 2026, whether Sophie Turner can understand Yorkshire accents, and why I think we're looking at another Sony live-service flop. Connor asks if I've ever thought about walking away from gaming after working QA and customer service - spoiler, I have, multiple times. Fixer2616 wants my take on the Kingsman265 drama where he got kicked from a 40 thousand dollar Marvel Rivals tournament for trying to win. pyrothefriendlyarsonist9195 asks if we should be worried about Battlefield 6 delaying season 2, and I explain why Vince Zampella's tragic death and Julian Gerighty taking over is the real story, not Call of Duty "winning."Free games this week include Rustler on Epic Games, a medieval GTA tribute with Monty Python humor, plus Harold Halibut and D&D Stronghold Kingdom Simulator on Prime Gaming as DRM-free GOG codes you actually own. Then we get into the meat with ages444's brilliant questions about what makes a game good in modern gaming, why gamers have become impatient and demanding, and how criticism turns into "criticised cannibalism" that kills the developer's original vision.Marathon extraction shooter, Battlefield 6 season 2 delay, gaming industry truth, Bungie Destiny 2 problems, Arc Raiders dominating, extraction shooter market saturation, Vince Zampella tribute, Julian Gerighty Battlefield Studios, Call of Duty losing players, SBMM killing franchises, free games Epic Prime Gaming, what makes games good, gaming criticism problems, streamer influence, developer pandering, criticized cannibalism, live service games, QA testing truth, corporate gaming decisions, Yorkshire gaming commentary.Podcast BF6 Challenges: https://youtu.be/K_ZC6w84670 (Twonk Chronicles Segment)Nero Challenge Video: https://youtu.be/7WsNPCrnhncTimestamps in chapters below.
