Today's main discussion on The Downloadable Gaming Podcast is the crash of Triple A (AAA) video game publishers when it comes to business. Techspot released an article talking a recent YouTube video from The Quartering. On this video he talks about three main reasons why the crash of AAA Gaming Companies are happening. First, because these studios and publishers who make triple A titles are giving us similar looking games. Take Far Cry: New Dawn, Rage 2, and Fallout 76 for example. All three games take place in post-apocalyptic periods, with neon colors throughout the characters and environment. Second, video games are coming out so frequently that gamers have backlogs of games that they haven't even played yet, let alone completed. This leads to us not wanting to buy more games because we can have just as much fun finishing the ones we have. Third, we just don't get unique games from these AAA companies. We also discuss the legal battle between Fortnite's Epic Games and Alfonso Ribeiro (Carlton from Fresh Prince of Bel-Air), Backpack Kid, and 2 Milly over possible copyright infringement to their signature dances. Fortnite has been adding trending dances and celebrations onto their games, and the creators of these dances are looking to trademark them and cash in on Epic Games. But they may have trouble doing this due to some loopholes in copyright claims. In today's "Mind of a Gamer" we discuss the increasingly large file sizes that video games are now requiring. From large files such as Red Dead Redemption 2's 100 GB needs, to the hours of time needed to download such files. It's first world problems...but this is something we all do have a problem with, even though we appreciate the high quality graphics and gameplay. Today's edition of "Today in Gaming" celebrates the 17th anniversary of Silent Hill 2, which is a series that made sure I could never sleep well throughout my entire childhood.
