Episode 210: An Industry in Peril with Mat Piscatella

Joining us on this episode is friend of the show Mat Piscatella, Executive Director and Video Game Industry Adviser at Circana. Our discussion includes the state of the industry, the component crisis and hardware costs, first party's changing strategy to focus on the biggest spenders, and just what the heck is going on at Xbox and PlayStation. Despite the worrying state of affairs, we also discuss our hopes for the future. Games will always be an art form, and as long as people are playing, artists will continue to pour their hearts into their craft.
