Summary: When should you pull the plug on a "failed" game? <br> <br> <br> <br> Greetings adventurers, and welcome to this weeks installment of The Surly Nerd! After our prelude, we head right into the weekly raid (our news roundup). <br> <br> Kicking things off this week, Microsoft has come out swinging.

We wrap up all things news related as we talk about the Google Stadia, and the mistakes that are being made during its launch window. <br> <br> Our Boss Room this week is about failing games: Why they happen, and when it's time to pull the plug on them.<br> <br> <br> As always, we appreciate all our adventurers who listen to the show every week and we look forward to your feedback on what we discuss!
