Immortal Machines » Podcast Feed show

Summary: Going on two years ago now, my compatriots and I dove deep into the topic of sequels in PC gaming, asking the hard questions of whether our physical and digital shelves were too full of copies, spin-offs and follow-ups (sometimes) and whether originality still had a place in the industry (yes). The sequel to Episode 38 was lost in a tragic warehouse fire. But the sequel to that is here for your listening pleasure! We have an absurdly crowded house of 7 folks gathered to once again survey the landscape of PC games over the last couple of years and ask ourselves: how do we feel about the games we love and the nigh-endless sequels they receive?
