"Holy shit. I would like to see that game. What indie studio is making that one, the cricket in the way of life. Oh my lord, that is so funny. That's fucking amazing. I love you guys so much. That's great today. We're going to Elvis bird says his tip where eyeshadow. I'm not, there's a beauty filter odds. I don't know how to turn it off. I'm telling you to admit it's off. It's not there anymore. I mean, I've seen it on my camera. There's something. I'm looking. You look good. Just be good, just look good. I'll take it, man. I'm looking glamorous. Glamour is a fox. That's Fergie, everybody. If you don't remember her. Thank you. If you don't know her a crack at history book people, Jesus. Number three. Is that thing where I'm like, I'm just so on empty, you know what I mean? But I was like, committed to being here. Like, I don't even know what I'm throwing today. Number three, let's talk a little bit more about Suicide Squad. Possibly slipping possibly to 2024. This is Evan Campbell over at GameSpot. Harley Quinn and task force X task force X, which I know well, but can't say today. Might not be seen this year in Suicide Squad kill the Justice League after all. The game from Batman Arkham knight developer rock city could see a lengthier delay than even recently reported. Jeff grubb of GameSpot sister site giant bomb stated on his game decides podcast via idle sloth on Twitter with a mouthful for the guy who works on the sister site, you know what I mean? Anyways, that he's got words Suicide Squad is getting pushed out of this year. Quote, listen, I don't want to cause a panic or anything, which I don't think Jeff, nobody's gonna fucking panic about Suicide Squad. But I heard it's not even coming this year, he said. I'm hearing 2024. Grub does add that quote, this stuff is harder than down for sure, but his source is a quote very good one. That would be further out than Bloomberg's Jason schreier reported yesterday, who claimed the game would still launch later this year. He mentioned that this delay was mainly for polished not to overhaul the core gameplay that caused the backlash end quote. Suicide Squad is a live service game that requires a constant Internet connection. A big gameplay showing a PlayStation's state of play saw pretty negative feedback last month. There hasn't been any official word out of Warner Brothers games and rock steady. That Suicide Squad is delayed. As such, the game is still currently slated to release may 26th. That said, if the game does get pushed back until next year, it raises questions about how the structure of the title, specifically live service might be reevaluated. Of course, this broke yesterday on games daily the Jason schreier thing of the delay later this year, now we have the Jeff grubb special sauce of, hey, maybe it's gonna be next year overall. Tim, what do you think? I mean, that wouldn't surprise me with the news from yesterday coming out. What's the difference between early next year late this year? I feel like it's not really that different in terms of where this game hits, but I do think that could be the difference of what the delay is being used for. Because delaying it from May to August or September, that's not going to be able to change the game, whereas if you delay it more, potentially it could. We'll delay it more and change the game, give it enough time for it to be fixed. That's a much bigger question. Does it need to be fixed? That's a different question. What's the audience for this game? I don't know, but it's there. I feel like there's a lot of things with this that the trains left the station. This game has to come out. And we've been saying since day one that this isn't what we're looking forward to. There are people on our team. They're like this game looks fun. Not because it's a Suicide Squad game just 'cause the game looks fun. This could be a fun game. I don't expect this to be a Batman Arkham level game, but I think that there could be fun to be had. I think Warner Brothers needs more than that. They need money and they need sustainability, and this is a games as a service, and they need people using this game as a service. And I don't know that they're going to get that with or without these fixes. I think I'm not surprised by the talk of push to 2024. Because I'm right there with you that pushing it a few months is just then a PR move. We talked a bit about this on PS. I love you today. Of like, it really just seems to be emergency public relations slash marketing of holy shit. Did people fucking hate that state of play? So let's delay it. Try to get away from it. Maybe do a, as I was saying, a IGN first deep dive on game and former coverage. Another beat, maybe do an event and let people play the fucking game so they could come out and say, yeah, this actually is fun. This is cool. Oh, I didn't understand it because it just looks like all of them are shooting guns. No, there is a difference between king shark to Harley Quinn, the captain boomerang. There's a bunch of different ways. Getting to 2024, it's interesting you said that, you know, oh, what's the difference between late 2023 or early 2024? I would think if you pushed it to 2024, you're going to see it later than early. I would think it'd be like back to summer to fall or whatever. But again, it comes down to what can you really do with this where the backlash is, it's not like you're looking at this and to use a very antiquated thing. Crack a fucking history, but people of like, it's not like when infamous two got debuted and we were all like, what the fuck did you do to Cole? And they changed the character design of Cole, right? That was an easy enough fix. Still took a lot of work. Maybe still the Internet and me didn't handle it well. But it got fixed easy enough. Whereas this one, it's like, people hate the live service. And people don't like the characters of being the students. That's why. If people think The Suicide Squad all looks the same when they fight. And they don't like the way it looks on the skill trees and the battle pat. And it's like, there's so many different things that I don't know internally what they're picking and be like, this is what we're going to use the time to fix. This is what we're going to do. And if you go to the core thing of it being a live service game, I can't imagine you release that and however you fix it, it doesn't feel like, oh my God, like clearly this was designed to be a live service game and they've gone and done it this way, blah blah blah blah. I'm just very surprised that this is happening. Has it ever happened, Greg? And maybe there's a lot of its Devils that I'm just blanking on right now. But where it actually was the public reception of a game showcase causing this type of delay. We saw the outrage of the sonic in the movie and that got changed. That was a major deal. That doesn't happen. This seems, and again, it's not officially said. It's not officially happening, so we don't know, but what the reports were yesterday. It's like, that's pretty direct. Chat's the only words for my mouth for a recent example of halo infinite. Remember when that dropped it, it was like people saw that a three demo and they had the fucking weird guy's face chat or whatever the Internet called on, I forget pizza, whatever. And we're like, oh, like, Craig. Yeah, they went back and did a whole bunch of stuff with that, right?

"Because dude, if he hits with two, gone. To the moon. He just made buku. You know, do a stalker too, do a starfield starfield, you can probably bet on, even though because it's their primary team. And I think fallout 76 wasn't. Their primary team. So you can sort of bet. But cyberpunk was a good bet, right? There's no money who wouldn't have bet on. Even though I was like, oh my God, they're shit going on because I was constantly so much hype. I think the hype behind also, even though there was a lot of people still bent that through the darkness, through or could Jason schreier fucking reporting the worst shit, people were like, nah, nah, it's fine. I was one of these guys, man. I was one of these people, man. And I mean, it was such a good bet that even despite all the issues, it did very well, like monetarily. I mean, like in the monetarily. Monetarily, yeah, I mean, well, we also don't know how well it would have done how much it cost them to remove it from, I mean, monetarily, as well, there is in the start at least there was also the review shit that the disaster, which people weren't being up front about stuff that definitely caused all the weird. I would say cyberpunk and to not get too far off would just talk about this in the movie, but I do think with cyberpunk, it did change. Because I was finally in the mix of it and I saw some of the stuff that went down and some of the stuff that was said to me privately versus said and reviews. It definitely changed my opinion of a lot of people. And opinion that you could consider to be a little bit outdated, but I was like, no, why would they like, I've said a game's bad, even though it's popular. Like, why not? And then I was like, I remember going back and reading some tweets and being like, dude, that is the opposite that's been said in like this video or whatever. And then just deciding I was like, you know what? If I dive into this more, I think it's going to depress me more. It's going to make me hate everybody or just be blah blah blah blah everybody. And hopefully that interestingly it brought on and I mean mass effect the drama that did this too, but it brought on a whole on a bigger scale. Huge wave of skepticism about triple-A games and delays and actually releasing it all that shit was brought on. Right, yeah, and it brought on where it was like, okay, now it's like every game that looks good. It's like, well, you know, so. Yeah. It also brought a lot of distrust towards reviewers. I feel because people picked up on what you said, the fact that there was a disconnect between what the people were saying and some of their reviews versus what the game turned out to be. Right? Dude, yeah. Yeah. With cyberpunk and his website and stuff like that, I think that's where starfield, like I said, I think that's where star field, that's the awesomeness of starfield, is that there's probably people doing the same thing with starfield that he did. And I think there's something so fun about that when everybody's.

"Several hundred games both new and old This is Sony's attempt to compete with Microsoft's Xbox game pass as both publishers jockey to become the Netflix of video games Bloomberg's Jason schreier joins us now to discuss So Jason who's got a better chance of being the Netflix That's a good question Fortunately neither of them are releasing sentient AI bots but yeah they are getting into getting into the streaming wars I think Microsoft has one big advantage is that Microsoft is actually putting out all of their big titles on day one on the service So they're essentially saying hey we don't care about the sales numbers for the next halo We just want it as part of our subscription plan as opposed to Sony which is saying when we release our big games they are big blockbusters and we want to sell tens of millions of copies of them before we put them out on streaming services So Sony is almost like the kind of traditional TV studio marvel approach where maybe they'll release it on streaming after it comes to theaters where is whereas Microsoft is actually going full Netflix and saying hey we are all in on the streaming service We are putting everything on there day one no matter what Interesting Well there's a lot of transition happening in the gaming industry right now We're of course waiting for that big deal between Microsoft and Activision to close for example You've also got a new story out about how game developers game studios are working to create better cultures for the engineers which as you have well documented a workplace culture in the gaming video gaming industry not always the best Specifically they're focusing on pay transparency How so Yeah it's so interesting I've been talking to a bunch of small scale game studios generally around 15 to 30 to 50 people And a lot of them have found a lot of success by putting up these spreadsheets in their internal wikis internal databases saying exactly how much everybody makes how many years they've been there how many years they've worked in the industry what their titles are and full on their full salary full compensation packages And it kind of seems like to our culture which is so used to thinking of salaries as taboo It seems like a strange thing for everyone to know each other's salaries But it's proven to a help them with recruitment be make everybody feel like they work for a more equitable workplace where everybody knows what the stakes are what everybody is getting paid You don't have to worry like oh man did I come to the table And undersell myself and negotiations when I was accepting this job and accept an offer that was $50,000 less than I could have been making Nobody has to think like that And it just makes for such a more fair workplace especially for people who are traditionally underprivileged and kind of hit that glass ceiling or facing or don't have the same advantages as others do When negotiating salaries Well here's hoping that actually works definitely check out Jason schreier story Bloomberg dot com Jason thank you as always coming up We're going to talk more about the broad tech sell off how it is impacting the private markets and what does it mean for VC investing We'll talk with Ade aja of base ten up next This is Bloomberg Would you say it's more important to gather information fast or to have it first or to be the most accurate They can really move the needle when it comes to programs The budget only surely is the level of support you get from companies for this What if you don't have to choose It also has enormous importance for the labor market How do they get ahead of different administrations We see this move towards digital currencies Bloomberg radio the Bloomberg business app and Bloomberg radio dot com Bloomberg the world is listening We used to take our freedom of movement for granted not anymore It's not just that we will work for the airlines and its natural to feel grateful for the things that kept you going Does America have a chance to lose our advantage Can we get to her community Fast enough so that will be in good shape But really we were just doing our jobs Oxford University is starting a study on patients who've recovered from COVID Bloomberg radio the Bloomberg business app and Bloomberg radio dot com Bloomberg the world is listening.

"So depressing. So sad. Speaking of gaming stadia, stadia more coming out about Google's streaming gaming service a couple of weeks ago, they closed down their own independent game laboratory laying off hundreds, including Jade Raymond, who was a legendary game designer. She was running the Toronto ubisoft studio. She went over to Google one year later. She's gone. This is the article at Bloomberg by Jason schreier, Google's stadia problem, a video game unit that's not Googly enough. He talks about I mean, just Google doesn't do content, really. And didn't really understand the idea of creating gaming content. I mean, seriously, if you buy an independent gaming studio and you expect a game in a year, you're not, you're smoking something. Oh my gosh, no. I think they're also really bad at consumer products in general. I feel like I brought this up so many times on this show, but Google does not have enough faith in its products to keep them around, even something like Google reader, which was kind of niche, but you can look at a whole bunch of things. Everything that happened at nest, which kind of fell apart, but I guess it's kind of hung together now. Hung together is not what you call a prosperous company. Yeah, we're hanging together. It's okay. We're not still shaky. What do you think? I think they do okay with some consumer hardware, but the pixels are okay. They're okay. I mean, I think that there is a commitment issue. There's a commitment issue that sometimes you know. But I think there's still committed to sort of pixel phones. But I think the point you made about the gaming software, just a game, this is years. I mean, literally we've heard of games being developed for over a decade. So I don't know what their expectations were there. But the competition is too strong in the gaming space. And if they weren't fully committed and clearly, they weren't. And Google, by the way, is really good at pulling the plug on things. I mean, how many things do they shutter a year? It said because I think that they were the independent division under stadia was trying to develop stuff, not as every other game company is doing developing stuff for consoles and PCs in every platform. But specifically for a cloud platform where you could use AI, you could say I want several servers. You had a lot more opportunities to do different kinds of games, unfortunately, this Bloomberg story only describes one. One prototype was described as a cross between a Google Assistant and a tamagotchi pet..

"You just don't wear them. They just wait for the right time that they end up going up in value like the off white. I'm sure you're all off white and RP Virgil. But all the off whites are probably sky high right now on stock, 'cause I passed away. Right now. Yeah, they passed away. So now they're not a collector's item. Another even bigger of a thing now, so they're just waiting for that perfect time. I'm just making celebrities. I'm like, where are freaking you? Man, it's what they're for. So it's an issue, but yeah, I agree. I definitely heard it the first time the bots with the sneakers, and now they've transferred it because all the sneaker guy can now stock kicks with something graphics cards this year. And I'm like, it's supposed to be a sneaker website, y'all will sell like graphics cards on his website now. Yeah, the box have gotten even worse so yeah, something needs to be done for sure. Pay $20 for a sneaker topia ticket. It was like 8 rooms with like hundreds of booths. Everybody at the same shoe. I was just like, y'all should all be ashamed of ourselves. This is ridiculous. It always ugly. It's ugly. Some positive Sony news. Sony continues to copy Xbox, even though they don't got no games. Sony is rumored to be coming out with their own competitor to the Xbox game pass. Rumored code named spartacus, it will offer PlayStation one two and PSP games plus its current library. It's rumored to have three different tiers to your prices or whatever. As well as an annual subscription, I think monthly and then annual, I think this was inevitable. Xbox game pass, you know? Ethos has done a really good job over the last two years selling this and over the years. Over the years, you see more and more people on social media talking about it and I think it started here on the GI podcast. And especially in the era where COVID, you know, it's got money tight for everybody, you know, I think people would rather pay $15 a month to play boyfriend dungeon over anything else. How do you feel about this J? Another thing that we just talked about one thing that I wasn't surprised about was only why die and copy what Xbox did and make your service into a game pass like a service. It just makes sense, the PlayStation L was trash. I had nobody bought into that system. And for the people they did, they were disappointed because you had a lack of games in the game that you could play. A lot of them did not play correctly, because that's basically for a lot of people have shitty Internet, but you know minus that. It wasn't really appealing to the people they didn't have the best Internet. So a lot of people couldn't play those games either. So this would be the more natural progression to make what Microsoft were doing over there. They were over there shining, so this is going to be the next level of how we play our game. It's going to go from digital games to just playing games on the cloud, and just paying a monthly fee in order to play it. You know some of the older games and some of the newer gates when they come out. So it's interesting. We're going to see what they're going to do and see it's probably going to this article they're going to have like tears as well and they've been able to do that you get, you'll be able to do more things with it and get a bigger selection of some of the older titles and some of the newer titles as well. So we'll see how this is, but maybe making a joke for the longest, which really ain't no joke that Microsoft and it's only a no gains right now. So we'll see. We'll see all the people who buy into the service. They're going to be playing all the olds only games instead of the new ones because they know the route right now. I need everybody listening to do me a favor and get out a pencil and a piece of paper and write down PlayStation don't got no fucking games. Who gives a fuck? Why do I care about this? I already played God award 2018, okay? We played it in 2018, so the only way I'm gonna get excited about this service is whenever it's fully revealed is if they have a lineup of new games like we need to see what's coming down the line because at this point I'd imagine we've all played horizon like who the fuck owned a PS4 PS5 and hasn't played horizon. That's the reason you even own it. It's the reason you owned it over at Xbox. It confused me why people were like buying the Xbox. They had no exclusive Sony hack the exclusive. I know y'all played them, so what? And then I would game pass, baby. But one thing I'll give Xbox and maybe I'm wrong, but it feels like Xbox does have a stronger indie community in terms of games availability on their platform compared to Sony, so I'm like, what the fuck am I gonna play on this? If I already played your exclusives, they need to launch this with some new, this better have got award ragnarok with her boy $15 a month. It's not let me tell you why. Like I said all the time, Sony will fuck this up because I guarantee you because they're head, they're gonna take some liberties and the reason I believe this is because of the controversy they had with the what is it called was a goshima when they brought the PS5 version over and they did that whole weird packaging plan to get the game upgraded. What the fuck hasn't played ghost is a shima. You had to pay money to upgrade to the PS5 or in the same thing to horizon. They're like, you'll upgrade to get to the PS5 version of this game and then on top of that, you gotta pay for the DLC on top of that thing. So that's the thing is that Sony doesn't understand making it simple, making it stupid simple for layman's is what sells your product. Sony has yet to understand this and they overcomplicate every fucking feature every fucking self point. This should have PSVR games on it. Yeah, yeah, they have all these convoluted hoops you gotta go through and things you gotta keep in track of to upgrade to the PS5 and do all the stuff for the PS5. Xbox understood this and they were just like, it's simple. If you buy it on one of our Xbox platforms, you play it on all our Xbox platforms. If you buy our game pass, you're playing every game that comes from our studio day one, the moment it drops. Sony is not gonna do that. They are not gonna include, that's what the rumor says. Jason schreier said that allegedly it's not going to include day one drops. So you're gonna still be paying $70 and that's gonna be the argument. Why would I pay you guys monthly? And I think on top of that, yeah, $70 for every single one of your exclusives that dropped, just so I can play some older games. This is some shit Nintendo would do with their fucking emulator. To play their old games, like that was always the treat on the top of the game passes. You'd be able to play all these older games, you'd be able to play a triple-A games that came out like a year ago or even now that were third party ones. You get all the Bethesda games and you get every new game they drop for free that you wouldn't have to think about, oh, I gotta save money to pay for like, no, I got game pass. I know I'm gonna be able to play it. That's how I got flock. That's how I got siggy. That's how I got chaos. That's how I got all these Macs to get the game pass. It's when they realize, oh shit, I don't need to worry about that shit. I just download for us. I just download halo. They sold on it. They bought it, and it was a cheap entry. I think the irony of it is is this code name spartacus, but they're not fighting for the customer. You need those day one. You need those day one releases, boy. I don't want to play. I don't want to play so calm fireteam bravo that damn bad, bro I'm gonna need the new games to be on it. That's the only way I'm interested in this. The only way I think this would be a dub is if they dropped all their day one new stuff on that pass, then I'd be like, all right, I'm buying it, but that's not the case. What am I about to do? Pay for it to play so calm? Yeah. In $3, I'm 15, $20 a month for, is so calm and if you're gonna copy, if you're gonna copy, you absolutely have to drop the day one new games on here. 'cause at that point, it makes literally no sense to buy into it. And another question, is Xbox a lot of you included in a game pass at all. One of the tears. The ultimate here. If you pay the ultimate, which I think is 15, the PC version is just ten, because obviously you don't need that extra money. We don't need it. If you pay, I think it's 15 a month, you get literally all the Xbox Live features and all the games and all the discounts to you get Disney+ discount, you get all these other additional discounts, you know, you get all right, so Sony will need to buy a unique, yeah, you need to include your PlayStation, yeah, you need to put the PS via service with this because otherwise it would just literally make no sense at all. You gotta do it at this point. So we'll see, but I mean, I might share the same fears as he throws if that is the room.

"Like this started in the sneaker community because that's when I first started hearing about these bots and then it kind of moved over to the graphics cards because of Bitcoin and now it's on the PS5 because of fomo. Yeah, it's a triple headed monster at this point and it's gotten out of control and they do need to do something about this. Which by the way, I went to my first like sneaker convention like a couple weeks ago and as I'm starting to grow my collection, JJ, I'm starting to learn that most people are not actually sneaker heads. They like Jordan ones. That's it. And I find that to be a very interesting. Like you niggas don't know nothing about sneakers. Look at how they heard this. Yeah, they don't diversify at all. They just get Jays and that's it. It's a lot of them around. And they don't even wear their sneakers, and that's the thing that pisses me off. You've spent all the time buying all these sneakers and you just leave them in your store in somewhere or you leave them in your closet and you just don't wear them. They just wait for the right time that they end up going up in value like the off white. I'm sure you're all off white and RP Virgil.

You know some of the older games and some of the newer gates when they come out. So it's interesting. We're going to see what they're going to do and see it's probably going to this article they're going to have like tears as well and they've been able to do that you get, you'll be able to do more things with it and get a bigger selection of some of the older titles and some of the newer titles as well. So we'll see how this is, but maybe making a joke for the longest, which really ain't no joke that Microsoft and it's only a no gains right now. So we'll see. We'll see all the people who buy into the service. They're going to be playing all the olds only games instead of the new ones because they know the route right now. I need everybody listening to do me a favor and get out a pencil and a piece of paper and write down PlayStation don't got no fucking games. Who gives a fuck? Why do I care about this? I already played God award 2018, okay? We played it in 2018, so the only way I'm gonna get excited about this service is whenever it's fully revealed is if they have a lineup of new games like we need to see what's coming down the line because at this point I'd imagine we've all played horizon like who the fuck owned a PS4 PS5 and hasn't played horizon. That's the reason you even own it. It's the reason you owned it over at Xbox. It confused me why people were like buying the Xbox. They had no exclusive Sony hack the exclusive. I know y'all played them, so what? And then I would game pass, baby. But one thing I'll give Xbox and maybe I'm wrong, but it feels like Xbox does have a stronger indie community in terms of games availability on their platform compared to Sony, so I'm like, what the fuck am I gonna play on this? If I already played your exclusives, they need to launch this with some new, this better have got award ragnarok with her boy $15 a month. It's not let me tell you why. Like I said all the time, Sony will fuck this up because I guarantee you because they're head, they're gonna take some liberties and the reason I believe this is because of the controversy they had with the what is it called was a goshima when they brought the PS5 version over and they did that whole weird packaging plan to get the game upgraded. What the fuck hasn't played ghost is a shima. You had to pay money to upgrade to the PS5 or in the same thing to horizon. They're like, you'll upgrade to get to the PS5 version of this game and then on top of that, you gotta pay for the DLC on top of that thing. So that's the thing is that Sony doesn't understand making it simple, making it stupid simple for layman's is what sells your product. Sony has yet to understand this and they overcomplicate every fucking feature every fucking self point. This should have PSVR games on it. Yeah, yeah, they have all these convoluted hoops you gotta go through and things you gotta keep in track of to upgrade to the PS5 and do all the stuff for the PS5. Xbox understood this and they were just like, it's simple. If you buy it on one of our Xbox platforms, you play it on all our Xbox platforms. If you buy our game pass, you're playing every game that comes from our studio day one, the moment it drops. Sony is not gonna do that. They are not gonna include, that's what the rumor says. Jason schreier said that allegedly it's not going to include day one drops. So you're gonna still be paying $70 and that's gonna be the argument. Why would I pay you guys monthly? And I think on top of that, yeah, $70 for every single one of your exclusives that dropped, just so I can play some older games. This is some shit Nintendo would do with their fucking emulator. To play their old games, like that was always the treat on the top of the game passes. You'd be able to play all these older games, you'd be able to play a triple-A games that came out like a year ago or even now that were third party ones. You get all the Bethesda games and you get every new game they drop for free that you wouldn't have to think about, oh, I gotta save money to pay for like, no, I got game pass. I know I'm gonna be able to play it. That's how I got flock. That's how I got siggy. That's how I got chaos. That's how I got all these Macs to get the game pass. It's when they realize, oh shit, I don't need to worry about that shit. I just download for us. I just download halo. They sold on it. They bought it, and it was a cheap entry. I think the irony of it is is this code name spartacus,.

Every single cells through number that exists that since the switch has six titles with sales over twenty million in comparison the we you the we the we us the we the we you i wrote that in my twitch twitch post my twitter post is the only other console with more than a seven titles but that includes the bundled we sports title that also includes there other We fitness and we fit and stuff.

"Appreciate it. Gotta tell you you love a book when some of the chapters are big, huge problems, workaholics. Also the case of the missing studio and bloody socks. So let's get into it because these are all in a new book. It's called Press, Reset, ruin and recovery in the video game industry, and you might remember, I think was over this summer. Bloomberg Business Week featured it Cover story that was all about the video game industry, the dark underbelly of a business built on fun, and that was a Also reported by our own Bloomberg News technology writer Jason Trier. He, too, is author of this new book, Press Reset. He's also author of the bestselling book, Blood, Sweat and Pixels, and He joins us on the phone. Good to have you here, Europe in Westchester. So tell us about this book because this is a little bit different from your first book. Hi, Carol. Thanks So much for having. Yeah, This is a little bit different. So with my first look, I kind of broke that on the question of wire game so hard to make. And I can answer that through a bunch of case studies, exploring different games and telling their stories with this Look, I wanted to know more of a human story tell the story of people in the video game industry and the hardships that they sometimes go through. And what that means for them what it does to them. What kind of how it feels how they recover afterwards. And through that I explored the question of Why is this Games industry which is making so much money and made $180 billion last year? Why is it is so unstable for its workers while your workers whether they have such a hard time? Keeping their jobs in this industry. You right? It's about heartbreak and tragedy. It's also about recovery. I mean, there are several instances in the book where you talk about, you know, people who have worked together as you say, pulled all nighters. You know, working on games, you know, hitting deadlines and so on so forth, only to come in and just find out. They don't have a job, but they're not going to see these people anymore. Yeah, And it's not only that their games failed, or that the company is in business. Trouble sometimes is the successful game as in the case of a rational games, which is one of the companies that I cover in the book. They made a game called Bio Shock, which is very popular, critically acclaimed about a year after their most recent game, BioShock Infinite, Mr Everybody came in to find that the studio was shutting down and, Yeah, it can be really brutal One of the worst parts I think, and I talk about this quite a book quite a bit in press reset. Is that you are kind of stuck wherever you are, and you light up the move thousands of miles away. I did get a new job in a rational case. They were in Boston, and they're not a lot of other video being companies in Boston. So what are the people who wanted to stay and keep working in games have to move across the country, uproot their whole families, and it could be really just burn people out. It's it feels unsustainable to me. I feel like it's a company that goes bankrupt. Right then all of a sudden, everybody's in there. The vultures like I want the desks. I want this, but I mean, you talk about when a company goes down, one of these video game company goes down. Then all of a sudden recruiters flying right to kind of take the workers so they are in demand. But as you said, they often have to be uprooted and moved their families maybe across the country. Yeah, It's funny. I thought that just the other day that was essentially it was a list of job posting for the video game industry. And there were like a couple 100 jobs here and there for junior level people, and then it was like thousands of senior level athlete like advocated job listing. Senior level positions on the reason that is because the games industry has this dearth of people who have 5 10 years of experience, because so many of them burn out So yes, these recruiters are seizing in and hoping against some of that talent. Some of that experience A lot of people may not want to move. I mean, an irrational case. A lot of the people who were in Boston maybe if they're in their twenties, they can move across the country and getting the jobs that kind of free. But if they're in their thirties, their families didn't want to pull their kids out of school, so a lot of them just left the industry entirely. Went T O other tech companies in the area finance companies, banks, stuff like that, and That we're seeing a Way too much, And that's interesting. Well, we all got a tease of your book, thanks to Business Week magazine, where there was an ex excerpt in there. And that's where the bloody socks chapter, which is specifically about Curt Schilling of the Red Sox. Just give us a little little tease and folks and go to Bloomberg dot com or on the Bloomberg or by your book to read the whole story because I feel like that chapter alone could be a Netflix series or a movie because it's just fascinating, very successful. Baseball player, but it didn't turn out so well when it comes to video games, ultimately, yeah, yeah, man. Thank you, for the kind words and, yes, Oakridge, chilling formerly of the Red Sox, Thies days. Best known is kind of Provocateur, right wing provocateurs, But, yeah, he Career that he was going to start this game studio and he very much liked came from the baseball life was very much like I'm going to cheat on my employees like all stars. I'm gonna buy them the best of the best get them on the perks and the best health stuff. Which limits on the face of things is pretty great. But that But he wound up running the company completely out of money. They wound up taking a giant loan that was guaranteed by the state of Rhode Island for $75 million in exchange for moving to Rhode Island and getting lunch jobs there and provident. On ground up burning through that in a year. Suddenly, one day everybody gets into work. They think they have the made in the shade that they're here at this company where they're treated like the best of the best. Get into work one day, and they're not paying their paychecks have not process because it turns out the company ran completely out of money, None of them bad. Severin. None of them got those final paychecks. They were all robbed essentially of weak support on all we're stuck in Rhode Island, where there are no other game cos it's a similar story. Oh, my God! Listen, sit tight for a second. We're going to live in a news and we'll come back and talk a bit more about the book. We are talking with Bloomberg News technology writer Jason Schreier. He is out with a new book. It's called Press, Reset, Ruin and recover. In the video game industries I mentioned just a few weeks ago we talked about it on excerpt in Business Week magazine. He's also best selling author Blood, Sweat and Pixels will continue our conversation in just a moment. In the meantime, let's get an update on world.

"That has to be read by it. And i think what bloomberg is found is at i mean that's essentially what they hired me to do is to break news and do original reporting which brings in people Inevitably yeah no that makes total sense. And if you had tips if somebody out there is is looking to trying in get two games. Journalism in in whatever form or fashion suits strength of the best. What tips would you have tim number. One get super super lucky. And i wish. I wish that there was better advice than that. Like i feel like so much of my career is ascribed to lack like being in the right place at the right time and i mean tip number two like a very strong second is be super persistent in hardworking diligent. Kobe yourself to something and keep and try to be the best at as he can at that thing but like i think that that it can be very easy to be discouraged. If you don't acknowledge how much of this comes down to lock and like privileged in like being able to do a certain things. Because you're lucky enough to be able to do that. And i think i would just be a more if i didn't acknowledge how much of an effect that has but yeah but i mean the advice alike. I got when i was starting out would not even be relevant today. So it's really tough to give more specific advice as far as like. Oh go out there and hustle and pitch yourself to whatever because so much has changed. The landscape is so much different than it's it's hard for me to say the one when people do ask me for advice i tell them i other than like the basics which are important Like reading aloud and raining a lot and and just really really committing yourself in like immersing yourself into whatever you wanna do. The one big piece of advice i give people is to specialized and like make yourself known for one specific thing and just get really really good at that specific thing because it can be helpful. If you're like freelancing for example to be known as the person who editors can go to for x. type of review or why type of story or z type video. Or whatever else. It could be really useful to do that. And i think people find. You'll find if you look out there. Like the most successful reporters are most successful. Video makers youtubers or twitch streamers is like they all are specialized in one specific thing and they might branch out beyond that like they have their bread and butter..

"I'm sure you guys are familiar with you. Have to write towards a mainstream audience about games which is which has a lot of interesting obstacles and challenges. It's been really cool Lot surrounded by super talented people which is really cool as far as balanced. Yeah i mean when i did with. The second book was really both books. I've done so far. Was i've taken leaves from work for at least a few weeks to just sit in plow and write things out So what i'll typically do is like spend a lotta time reporting and that i can just kind of fit in through the cracks like while i'm doing other stuff or like reporting sometimes reporting calls will be for multiple purposes and stuff like that and so eventually when i get to the point where i'm like okay needs to sit down and write this thing Press reset. I took a couple of months off to just right and for my next book. If and when that happens i'll probably do the same. Where it's like reporting is the long haul over time. maybe Sometimes when i go on a reporting trip i'll be like coming to take a couple of weeks off work to do this reporting trip and go out to wherever And talk to people in person. And i find a way to make found a way to make it work so far without like really killing myself. They're definitely like there have been nights and weekends when when it's time to finish the thing which always acts but never for like months on end it's always just like okay. I'm going to spend the next couple of weeks just like going into crunch mode. Finish this thing Which i think is very different from the games industry where people are often crunching for months at a time. But like i don't mind that can be exhilarating to be like all right the next couple of weeks of my life just like only finishing this thing and that's the end of it with the evolution of games journalism emceeing outlets like bloomberg kind of get into that space. How do you see what organizations like bloomberg is doing Felon with with the kacoos in the ideas of the world like do you think that there's room for those spaces to coexist in thrive separately.

"Of texas city in the video game community. I don't know why that is. I don't know if it's i don't think it's unique to games. Maybe it's heightened by games because a lot of people who play games are just just don't aren't great and interacting with people Not a lot. I should say. I should say at a fraction of people who play games may not be great in the dracula people and that's going to heighten up by the internet and and twitter gives everybody access to talk to anybody which which is both good and bad thing and so yeah. It's it's rough. But like i'm not gonna like being exposed to to vile stuff on the internet is not the worst of what most journal like. What a journalist has to go through like. I'm in a very privileged position. I cover the video game. Industry not liked on the front lines in war zones are like still india right now or covert is is is exploding or lake going to hospitals. Like i'm covering the video games industries. it's entertainment so fundamentally all it's all a scale here but yes people are nasty online and it sucks. And i wish it didn't happen but it's just something we gotta we gotta deal. What do you. i'm curious what do you think. As far as what the gaming industry in companies and publishers and stuff like that what is something that you really Would like to see change or you think is necessary to change for video games industry to continue to progress and kind of evolve change in terms of what game companies are doing. Yeah just just as far as like kind of practices that they are doing now. That's something that we've talked about. Just the the crunch that a lot of People get from that or the fact that you know they're getting i mean let's talk about cyberpunk for for instance they just Their board members just got huge bonuses for a game that you know is completely broken but people are looking at developer. Saying oh you know blah blah blah blah. But it's like look. They wanted to push the game back. They realized it however these other group of people that said no. You've got to move forward with this. You know there's this weird line and you know you almost feel bad because it's like the face know. These companies are the face of that game but these higher ups that are making these decisions that are not reflective of what. The publisher may have wanted to do that. Wealth disparity is definitely one of the bigger issues in games. But that's also one of the bigger issues in in the us in general in society in general. So that's that's that's one thing. I think i mean so press reset is about. It's a book about volatility in the volatility in the games industry. And i think really. That's the biggest issue that the games industry faces right now. I certainly think it's a bigger problem than like crunch or some of the other issues. I've covered Maybe not the biggest. I don't wanna say biggest but it's like one of the big issues and the reason for that is that it's very difficult to maintain a career and gaming when you don't have stability and when you don't when you when you can be laid off or your can shut down at any time without warning if you're lucky you'll get a couple of months of severance but sometimes as we saw tell tale in thirty eight and some others you'll just get sent out on the street like goodbye like no severance. Were just suddenly shutting down. We ran out of money. Sorry goodbye and that just totally like destroys people on can really wreck their lives in a lotta ways. So what the book explores.

Did you start to think about press reset and want made now the right time to tell the story Okay so yeah. So after i published blood sweat and pixels in twenty seventeen. I decided. I wanted to rain another book and i had a couple of false leads. I was following one. Pass for awhile. Thought i would write something about something And decided not to and then it was towards the end of twenty. Eighteen eventually decided accommodate a book about what happens to people when game studio shut down. 'cause i kept thinking like they're all these really interesting wild stories about game companies closing not just companies closing because they like made a flop or something but in some cases companies closing because even when they made a successful like irrational games releasing bioshock infinite which is a success in leader or thirty eight studios. Not even getting to release a game before it was suddenly out and so i decided okay. I'm going to book that compiles. Some of these stories and looks at some of the common themes and problems and then tries to find some solutions to these problems and the result of that and talking to many many people and spending a lotta time reporting researching and writing is press reset.

"The whole nine yards but it is going to be looking like that in the not too distant future because again jason schreier of bloomberg has reported that there is a nintendo switch pro on the way better chipset seven twenty p in the horizon. For which again i know does do wonders out there. They've got xbox series x or playstation. Five right now with four k. On their television and are doing with all hdr and shading and lighting and things of that nature is not going to overwhelm people. When you hear that but at least it's a step in the right direction for nintendo switch. The only thing. I got to add onto this. We'll go ahead and close out. This conversation is the price which obviously is the biggest concern for me because the two hundred and three hundred dollar price ranges for ten to switch and the nintendo switch light. that's a nice pocket-size nice priced unit. I it just. It fits in the comfortable zone and it's been there and it sold well and it's done really. It's great for nintendo so far. I'm seeing this is probably a four hundred dollar price range as far as maybe a three ninety nine unit. I don't think you put it new chip in there and upgraded everything on it and just throw it for fifty dollars more than the regular switch or maybe bring the price down of the switch and the switch light. But i don't see that happening either. No and like when you you look at it like this. You're paying four hundred dollars for this system you might as well buy a playstation five or series x. It's not especially if they're not gonna take the price of the existing councils on then you're again you're paying a hundred dollar difference or something that you're unless have you know like a top of the line. Tv and you're you know what to look for like you're not gonna notice any changes or it's going to be something to see that's very interesting again. Later this year the bundle packages that are going to be out for nintendo. And they always do that with walmart. Game stop what have you. There's gonna be a bundle packages that are introduced out there again for holiday package those are going to probably be attached to the nintendo switch or the switch light. Because there's still so many out there in the wild. I mean they may add a package for nintendo switch pro but i see them still trying to push the tender switch. Come come this christmas. Oh for sure. Yeah i mean because let's be honest we're not going to see another nintendo console for probably a minimum of three years and so this is kind of what they got at the moment and it doesn't matter even if they didn't come out with this this switch pro model we're still going to see nintendo dominating the market. All they need to do is put out a mario game. Put out a pokemon game. Put out a a come out with new donkey kong or something like that's all that's all. We need to see from them.

Wouldn't it be cool if he could play his girl which you can play a fucking girl. Gte five like on on online.

Marvel's Spider-Man followup on PS5 features Miles Morales

Miles, Morales ps five Jason Schreier of course from Bloomberg still doesn't feel right to say added this on Twitter News Spiderman Miles. Morales is not an expansion or enhancement or re master. Despite a Sony executives comments this morning, a source tells Bloomberg News Nor is it Spiderman to it is a brand new standalone game similar in scope to uncharted loss legacy. which makes sense is exactly what I wanna hear I think that's exactly what we all expected. They announced were now state yesterday right like it. Being called Marta Man's spider man miles, morales it, not necessarily having a to in the title and it also like showing off that trailer that had if had no Peter Parker to. Where if you finish the first game, you'd understand why that feels off in terms of Peter Parker being nowhere in the game or in that first trailer. He's probably going to be in the game. that does that doesn't necessarily feel like a spider man to like feels like some some sort of spinoff. Offshoot title, but like not off shoe or spinoff in a bad way right like my brain Amelia went to try to las. Vegas I think that's where we all kind of done to if. Out and it's like a forty dollar thing and you get like what like ten to fifteen hours worth of story and Gameplay and like New York and even if it is the same, New York from spider man twenty eighteen. That is maybe slightly altered it in some ways to bring up the speed like that's all i. that's all I really expected. I think that will be like a really good satisfied experience. All I want more hours in this in the. Went Back and watch the trailer again last night. Right seeing miles. play a far different than what spiderman does seeing him. You know swinging in a web in a webs- seeing him swing in a way that is not the exact same web-slinging. We saw from Pete in Spiderman like that's what I'm looking for I. Want a thing and if it's going to be on par with loss, legacy beautiful perfect. That's all I need. I understand that and I. Think it's a smart way to do it of. What we're talking about right where Spiderman to was not gonNA, be ready for launch, nor should it be necessarily right in so rather than rush that put out this experience something like first light something like a loss legacy something where we can getting moved exist back in this world. move the plot forward. figure out what's going off miles in then get nutty with responded to. Assume setups about him into. How. How different are let me ask you this? How much of an upgrade you think is going to be from Spiderman twenty eighteen like You New York is going to be that different is the main difference going to be like more story and a different like different abilities man I think the main difference. Will you ask two different Russians? They're the main difference gameplay. Yeah, be that miles feel distinctly different than Peter. Did with his Venom Strike and all that jazz? I think he'll play different. Feel different, obviously new story now I'll be awesome I think the other part of it is that this will finally be. The chance for playstation two flex. The muscle talked about in every one of these wired articles. Right of Lookit Spiderman.

The Last of Us Part II has been delayed
"The last part two has been delayed. Many outlets are sharing this news with the wording delayed indefinitely and while it is not inaccurate. It does make it sound like the game has been cancelled or has been pushed way way into the future but the situation is not quite so extreme. Basically what it means. Is that the last of us? Part two does not currently have a release date which is totally true. The news broke yesterday. When the at playstation twitter account tweeted update S. I. E. has made the difficult decision to delay the launch of the last of US part two and Marvel's iron man VR until further notice logistically. The global crisis is preventing us from providing the launch experience. Our players deserve currently there are no other delays to report. But we'll keep you updated. Naughty dog followed up. That tweet with its own statement that reads as you've likely just seen the release of the last of us part has been delayed. Were sure this news is just as disappointing to you. As it is to us we wanted to reach out to all of you in our community to give you a little more information. The good news is we're nearly done with the development of the last of US partout. We are in the midst of fixing our final bugs however even with US finishing the game. We were faced with the reality that due to logistics beyond our control. We couldn't launched the last of US part to to our satisfaction. We WanNa make sure everyone gets to play the last of US part to around the same time ensuring that we're doing everything possible to preserve the best experience for everyone. This meant delaying the game until such a time where we can solve these logistic issues. We were bombed about this decision but ultimately understood. It's what's best and fair to all of our players. Were hoping that this won't be a long delay. And we'll update you as soon as we have new information to share. We wish you all your families and your friends the best of health. Thank you for being amazing. Fans and for your continued support. Stay Safe Jason Schreier from cocoon tweeted about some additional details regarding the delay writing. The last of US part two was on track for May Multiple Depp. Say the primary reason for the delay is the challenge of printing shipping and selling physical games right now. Going remote has not stopped those still working on the game such as Qa from crunching. Hopefully this delay helps. Knotty dog is a studio notorious for crunch. Basically extreme overtime from employees in order to push a game over the finish line during the last few months of production. And it's a beat. Jason Schreier has been following an reporting on closely especially as it relates to the last of US partout. The last of US partout was originally planned for release on. May Twenty ninth but now it does not have a release date. This delay is not surprising. It's not the first one two result from Kovic nineteen issues. It certainly won't be the last but at least to date. It may be the biggest. My optimistic hope is that the delay lets the developers at Naughty dog take a breath and slow their sprint to finish the game to like a leisurely jog. I want them to be able to take advantage of the one arguably nice outcome of this otherwise awful cove in nineteen situation and that the world is kind of on pause and we can all slowdown at least for a little while and focus on staying safe and healthy and then from the consumer perspective. I hope the delay only pushes the game by a few months. Maybe landing it in July or August. Frankly it's a game. I am happy to wait for. Maybe it's just because I'm an old man and there are so many good games worth playing right now but I really don't get disappointed by delays anymore if anything. It's a relief when I learned. I can wait a little longer to play that game. It's a weird reaction especially when I think of the past like when I received a prerecorded phone call from Nintendo while working at game stop announcing that it had decided to delay legend of Zelda twilight princess. I was Crestfallen. If I got that call today I would just say hey take your time. Make it good. I will play it when it's ready. I'm going to go take a

First of all, definitely, a little surprised because there's been so many call duties, and certainly modern warfare and advance warfare and this warfare, but it seems like they're sticking with it.

Do we really care at the end of the day, if we see a trailer and the image sticks with us? I it's not like I'm gonna forget that it's called modern warfare.
