6:04I remember that was a big thing. I talked to, I mean, you're off about it back in the day, but like for my paternity leave of being, I'll never forget being outside the container store. Like I had to go for whatever we need. It was just me. And it was like that rare occasion where I broke away. And it was just like, I let the podcast finish. Yeah. I'm like, I got it here. I got it. No, real talk. I've multiple times, like went to pick up Starbucks for me and G or something. And then got home, drove around the block a couple more times just to like hear blessings thoughts on the way to play or whatever.
6:29I'm like, we're good at what we do. It's pretty damn cool. Let's get into story number one. Rockstar confirms new data breach after hacker group threatens, quote, pay or we leak. Dun, dun, dun. It's Randy Robinson at BGC. Rockstar Games has confirmed that it has suffered a new data breach after a hacker group claimed to have acquired a large amount of information from the Grand Theft Auto 6 developer. On Saturday, the group Shiny Hunters, which has previously targeted Microsoft, Cisco, AT &T, and Ticketmaster, claimed that it had breached Rockstar via third-party analytics platform Andonot. Andonot?
7:04Andonot. Andonot. I don't know what the hell that is. He's back, everybody! Which is used by companies to track cloud costs. Pay or leak, it wrote via the CyberSec guru. This is a final warning to reach out by April 14th before we leak, along with several annoying digital problems. that will come your way. Make the right decision. Several annoying digital problems. Make the right decision. Don't be the next headline. Jesus Christ. In a statement, Rockstar confirmed the breach and claimed that it would have no impact on our organization or our players. We can confirm that a limited amount of non-material company information was accessed in a connection with third-party data breach.
7:42This incident has no impact on our organization or our players. Shiny Hunters hasn't said what the data of files it's obtained are related to, but potential exposure includes financial records, marketing plans, contract information and player spending data. The Shiny Hunters group has said it will release the data stolen from Grand Theft Auto 6 developer Rockstar Games after its demands were not met. It's still not clear what kind of data was stolen from this company. First off, don't do this shit. Second off, I want to talk so much shit about this, but I'm a little scared. These threats are very scary, Greg.
8:13I don't want them coming after me. Oh, dude, man. Jesus Christ. They're going to come in there. What are they going to find in you? I don't know. A bunch of fast and the Phoenix, the Star Fox rumors. They don't care. They got bigger fish in their fry. It sucks. This is crazy. This is crazy. Yeah, like this sounds like real intense terror shit. You know what I mean? Like these are actual threats. This is not good. Very scary. Who knows what the information is going to be? Yeah, that's the thing, right? Where what? Right.
8:46Like I don't it's just in general leaking anything sucks. And so you're going in here and obviously everyone wants to jump to the headline of GTA 6 Elite. You know what I mean? Here's all this information. But what is it actually going to be if it's not the game itself, right? No impact on our organization or our players. So it's not like the Rockstar Club stuff. It's not your email. It's not whatever. I mean, yeah, but that's also just Rockstar saying that. Of course. Oh, I know. I'm not saying like... It's not like GTA 6 hasn't leaked before. Of course. That's the thing. We're at a point with a fever pitch with gta 6 right and we always have been like it's a unique entity in that the hype has never waned for this project right yeah and i don't think anything in history has ever had this level of hype overall and because of that it's like any information that comes out is going to be a huge deal right even if it is just a character or a name or anything right a gun and any element of this game is going to result in hundreds of podcasts right don't be a headline well this is the headline yeah like what do you mean this is clearly gonna be that um and then besides that it's like yeah it could be a multitude of actual people's information the rocks are saying that their team and the players are safe it's like okay well then why they're threatening you they clearly have something yeah you know so what do you think it is i don't know i think it has a lot to do with gta say i feel like like that's that's the leverage that they have they're trying to get cash money from this shit you know who has cash money rockstar yeah they're not gonna do it well they don't negotiate with terrorists i mean it sounds like they're not Yeah good for them But it's like man can you imagine having the balls to just Do this That's crazy Which one to be the balls to be rockstar and say like no To be the ones threatening rockstar Does it take balls to be the one Threatening rockstar Yeah I think so Yeah A little cowardly A little slimy internet shit guy I mean balls Aren't necessarily a good thing You know what I mean It takes something But yeah, don't do this.
10:51Yeah, don't do this for sure. We'll see what actually, don't be a terrorist. We have Roger McCorney coming to the, Roger's coming out. He's got breaking news on Rockstar. Hit me with it. What's up, Raj?
11:00Tim Gettys:Hey everybody. I just want to welcome Tim back. Thank you. Thank you so much for being here. Yeah. And I want to give Greg Miller this for carrying the company while Tim was gone. Thank you so much, Greg. Thank you, Roger. I'm glad someone's finally acknowledging the strength it took by this beautiful trophy that wasn't picked up at a yard sale free table. I'm glad someone's finally acknowledging what I did for this company for the past three months, how hard it was to carry it all on my shoulder. That means a lot. Thank you so much. So you got your own trophy. Yeah, another one. Another one to add.
11:34You know, I don't know where it came from. Let's move on to story number two. Unless you have anything more to add for this VTA thing. It sucks. I'll be interested to see what I forget. I know we've been talking about. What's the deadline? it's been brewing over the weekend what was the deadline they gave April 14th so tomorrow we'll see what we get tomorrow out of this whole thing what it's actually going to be I imagine it's worse than Rockstar thinks it is here's the deal yeah the pizza bat episode of Gamescast fantastic stuff really really good I want to make a pizza bat right now love it is the headline of kind of funny games daily tomorrow yes related to this yes you think so or no I do I'll take it for fun I'll do it I'll say no and I'll say yes cool let's do it pizza bed everybody started off first one back I love it update the sheets Katie I think yeah it's going to be GTA 6 tomorrow yeah I think so too right you imagine we'll wake up and it'll be whatever this was because even if it's just phone numbers I don't know a powerpoint it's GTA 6 GTA it could be the GTA 6 t-shirt we have the design of what the GTA the pre-order bonuses like any of that would become the number whatever the thing is yeah there we go story number two fable social media account reiterates fall 2026 release window amid rumors of an internal delay to avoid gta 6 this comes from wesley yin pool after a weekend in which multiple rumors and reports pointed to an internal delay of microsoft's fable reboot beyond its fall 2026 release window, potentially into 2027, the official Fable social media account has stepped in to reiterate its previously announced date.
13:16Giant Bomb's Jeff Grubb said that there was concern at Microsoft about Fable potentially running up against the behemoth that is GTA 6, which currently has a November 19th, 2026 release date. I'll say that I've heard that Fable has been pushed internally. That doesn't mean that it's coming out next year. Apparently, they're still trying to get it out this year, but they're worried about the launch of GTA 6. So if it's getting delayed beyond the release of GTA 6, that'd push it into December, which might make it a prime candidate to get delayed into 2027. So while Xbox will have a lot of games coming out this year, that's one that there's still a big question mark around.
13:49That was the quote from a Jeff Grubb video that was making the rounds. However, the official Fable Twitter account this morning responded to a fan saying, quote, we're excited to welcome you to Albion in autumn 2026. that reiteration of the release window is telling here and a thinly veiled response to the weekend's reports as it stands, Fable is set for launch this fall on Xbox Series X, S PS5 and PC IGN has asked Microsoft for comment did we know it was PS5 day and day? yeah I think I don't remember that we'll see what Asha wants to do from here on out if that actually holds what? it's, it's a social media person.
14:35Yeah. You know what I mean? Like I, this is so reminiscent of when I was in the, it's a little apples and oranges, but I remember when persona five was coming up and I was like, that is going to get delayed. And people were like, even I think it was Alexa Ray was like, it says on the website this year. I'm like, who the fuck cares what the website says? Like they change the shit all the time. That's not a shot at Alexa. It's just like the audience and her were like, and it, what happened? It got delayed. Like I get it. I understand it I don't go Oh fuck Jeff Grubb He was wrong about this It's a response to a fan It's not like they came out Like hey We're just putting it out as the tweet That to me would speak more of like Oh you are making a statement by coming out And saying this I'm the social media person On Fable I respond to the audience Until someone says we're not coming out autumn i'm gonna keep saying the same bullshit i say to everybody yeah and i i've been out of the game gregs you have me i'm missing some stuff because i don't remember the ps5 day and date did we know autumn even because i feel like you've been here theorizing the the placement of all the um xbox games this year and like that doesn't sound familiar to me but um either way i'm with you overall that it doesn't really mean anything but i do think that it's obviously a direct response to what Grubb's saying.
15:56So it's like, at least they're trying to say that it's this year. And at least that they believe that at this point it is this year still. Yeah. Which I do too. Like I, I, I think that it is still fairly likely for this year, but there is, I hope it is thing of GTA six and the, the December conversation, I think is where it gets like the most interesting is like, well, they think it's a good idea to put this game out in december when december traditionally doesn't do the best for video games even that's starting to not be as true as it used to be though however there's that two-week holiday christmas area right that is just a different type of spending period and then there's also we are going to be hot off the heels of gta launching right we still don't even know until tomorrow when all this information is leaked is gta online is day one is it a month later because guess what a month later for november is december right like there's a lot of things that play there so i don't know and i i feel like if they can't get it done at a appropriate time before gta 6 it's like they should just wait till 2027 and no one should be mad at that yes correct on all accounts i think you know when you talk about that december window i think you look it it all comes back to expectations in what microsoft wants out of this and i should say xbox not microsoft microsoft wants it to be ai and a million dollars uh microsoft what they expect from fable what they are trying to achieve with fable right i think you could easily put fable out in december and yes it still hits with critics it still hits with the fable fans but i don't think you get the fable is now a franchise that matters this is something you should pay attention to because yes you will be drowned out by gta clips still going around whatever is happening with online etc etc and i fall into that camp that if you get to december just wait and put it out in spring we talk about all the time totally january february even right now i mean we're drowning in games in april right now but there's so much room here at the beginning of the year i always talk about it you come out of christmas game of the year lists are done it's time for we're looking forward be that game that drops there and people get to jump in like i've played a lot of gta but i'm excited for something new you're able to jump in and go crazy with it and then yeah there's a chilling effect of how early before GTA you need to be.
18:14And then, of course, the giant question of is GTA really coming this year? Where are we going to put that? I'm seeing sentiment in the chat from a couple people that GTA will not affect the sales of Fable, and then a couple people were bringing up the Indiana Jones was in December. I'm not saying that December games can't hit. They definitely can, but to your point, I think Fable and where Xbox is, and especially the development cycle of Fable and the expectations for it, you can't just let this one just be another game you put out and people were bringing up it's on game pass so what does it matter it's like there it's not just about sales and critical reception for this i do think it is about brand recognition and conversation and i feel like you as much as possible it's not about oh gta is going to take away the the sales of this game it's they're going to take away the conversation of the game and i feel like the conversation for a game like fable is incredibly important uh especially in 2026 2027 with where they're at where we're at a point now that forza is the xbox ip yeah you know like that's maybe gears has a shot at coming back in a major way probably does but that is not a sure thing i want to bring in i thought of this and it didn't apply to where i was in my conversation before but now that we're here let's pull this one in and just stick with me this isn't I'm saying anything.
19:30I'm not starting to fight. Uh-oh. Do we think Microsoft slash Xbox looks at Indiana Jones and says, we nailed that. That was the success. Because hear me out. And I know that I'm an odd man out who didn't like Indiana, didn't love Indiana Jones. It was fine. But I know people loved it. So whatever. But I mean more like this. A December game. So it wasn't in game awards that year. Yes, got nominated for stuff this last game awards, whatever. I also feel that again Thanksgiving break Christmas break game of the year voting on this I thought Indiana Jones just didn't get the rub it deserved for a game that people loved so much critically I think it did did it okay yeah I mean and I feel like I got lost in that conversation where if Indiana Jones would have been a January February game I think that's a conversation that would have had more of a tale than how this one got clipped by everything going on in my opinion Indiana Jones kind of hit a mainstream level of success that it needed to.
20:30It's like when you have the Indy IP where it's like the conversation for years that bless and I would have is just like, it's not about, would we prefer Wolfenstein or Indiana Jones game from the team? But it's more just like, is Indiana Jones even relevant? Will people even care? It is in video game form when the video game is good. And I was surprised at the normies in my life that really loved that game. one very biased source, James Burke, favorite thing in the world, Indiana Jones. The game was like made for him, but he platinumed the game and 100 % did it on Steam. He was all in on that stuff and multiple of my other friends who are not indie people, they also really loved it.
21:07So it's like, I just think, again, very anecdotal, but in addition to that, you see the conversations online that are just a step outside of our sphere of how we talk about games where we do every single thing. Because that's just my concern with a fable December release would just be going to hit with the people it hits with, but then gets lost in the bigger conversation. Again, for, I think, obviously we're talking about Indiana Jones as an IP versus Fable as an IP. Indiana Jones matters a great deal more. And I feel like with Fable, they seemingly have a shot at doing something really special here.
21:39And so you want to see that get legs grow. People get excited about it. Yeah, I know some people are going to be rubbed the wrong way by me saying this, but I think the difference is with indie and fable is that it's not about which is a bigger ip i think fable is a more important ip because it's a gaming ip and it is a xbox ip this is a very important brand to xbox and has been since the start of xbox we're celebrating 25 years and we are at this pivotal moment of like looking at the future and we can't just have another fumble of this is the last chance quote unquote for fable right and i just think that there's like a lot more riding on it and i feel like we have we've had the story a million times when we've had it about halo when we've had it about can't think of anything right now but like other games and it's like the conversations were merited we see the results of where halo is at currently and it's not great yeah you know so i think fable needs to be in a place where the conversation is great but um i i believe i'm very hopeful i think i think fable looks awesome but as we said right now like i think it hits this year and I think it's going to be good.
22:42I think man since they showed it and didn't put a date date on it. I've been very concerned about hitting this year. So it's like I want it to hit this year so badly. I want this game. This is probably you know the most anticipated game right now I think you know in terms of what I want to hear. Yeah. What else would I be thinking of? I don't know Wolverine. No I want this more. This looks way more of a like Wolverine is going to be great. And that's the thing. Wolverine is going to be awesome. I can't wait. Soros is going to be awesome. I can't wait. Grand Theft Auto 6 I'm sure will be awesome I can't wait Fable and that like follow a Pedestrian around and see the I'm like that's a Greg Miller you know I'm all right Greg Miller shit Right there and an RPG but Storybook world and all that stuff like that Sounds like a place I want to get lost in for hours And hours and hours But I don't believe I don't know if I believe I won't I won't let Myself believe it's this year until they put a date On it and then I'll be like yeah and I mean that's That's totally fair like I wouldn't bet anything on It coming out this year just like something I there's something about this Xbox 25 thing that I'm just like, I feel like even things aren't ready.
23:44They might rush situations, but we'll see. Story number three, a new Metro game has been confirmed and will get an Xbox first look this week. This comes from Michael McWhorter at Polygon. The next game in 4A Games Metro series will officially be revealed on Thursday during an Xbox first look showcase dedicated to the title. Metro 2039 will be the first new game in the post-apocalyptic first-person shooter series since 2019's Metro Exodus. publisher Deep Silver announced Monday. During a digital-only broadcast on Thursday, April 16th, 4A and Deep Silver will offer a world premiere look at Metro 2039.
24:18That showcase will be streamed at 10 a.m. Pacific on Xbox's YouTube channel. While Metro 2039 is not pitched as an Xbox exclusive, Microsoft says Xbox has always been a home for the franchise, and we're honored to continue that relationship by bringing you a first look at this next exciting chapter. I'm surprised at this. which part just because I I'm not a metro guy yeah at all I feel like didn't just come out yeah it feels like a games that always 100 but 20 always feels like there's a new metro yeah yeah yeah good for them yeah I'm in the exact same boat as you where it's like I don't know metro from a hole in the wall but I know people love with it and I know people fuck with it so it's like cool but yeah great awesome here we go what do we got this last one was metro
25:04Tim Gettys:awakening in 2024 which was a vr game uh but the last big one it seems was metro exodus back in 2019 yeah but and i think they've updated exodus a lot right isn't that the deal has it had a lot of dlc or something like that maybe but it's that the deal where it's like i feel like i get a lot of press releases about metro period yeah so it's like i'm like all right um um xbox first look showcase hell yeah interesting yeah that's cool i like that i like that a lot yeah as we've you know you've been gone i know but we did the xbox partner showcase again where i was just like oh my god why are you showing games this way right yeah i first the dev direct y 'all were so hard on that yeah we were i don't think it was that bad that's because you're a dad now you're soft wow that's what made you've been out of the game so long it's like in fucking taken i'll never forget remember when the guy pulls the gun on him he's like you've been out of the game so long you don't know how it feels when it's empty fucking watch taken and everybody oh man anyways no yeah I love if you have a platform like Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo, it's cool to see them get behind something and go and support it.
26:05You know what I mean? And I'd like to see them do more of this. I know it's a little bit apples and oranges, but how they did it with mouse even. Remember when they were like, we're doing a mouse. They were like, is mouse that big? And you watch mouse PI for hours. Like, oh man, there's a lot going on in this game that I didn't understand was there because of that jump. So maybe this is the one you look at and you go, okay, maybe there is something here with this new Metro to get into. Yeah. Very, very cool. we will get right back to story number four after a quick word from our sponsors

29:58We're back with story number four. ex-Bethesda exec says the Elder Scrolls 6 maker isn't part of something genuine or authentic at Microsoft. Wow. This comes from Ethan Gatch at Kotaku. Pete Hines had worked at Bethesda for 24 years before he announced his retirement in 2023, just a month after Starfield's release. The outgoing VP of comms and marketing said in a new interview that he'd been planning to leave for a while after the Microsoft acquisition concluded because he felt, quote, powerless to do what I think needs to be done to run this place properly the maker of fallout and the elder scrolls was sold to microsoft along with the rest of parent company xenomax in 2021 for 7.5 billion dollars billion without ever mentioning the tech giant by name heinz suggested in an april 20 or sorry april 10th interview uh i got 420 on the mind everybody with kirk mckean's fireside chat newsletter that the new owners turned out to be a bad fit for bethesda and made his job of managing the story game studio's reputation impossible quote i was staying there because this place still needs me i just hit a point of yes it needs me and i'm powerless to do what i think needs to be done to run this place properly to protect these people to maintain what we worked so hard to create which is an incredibly efficient well-run video game developer and publisher he continued and when i was unable to do what i thought my job should involve in continuing to have that place be you know if not the most efficient publisher in the games industry it was way the fuck up there and when i couldn't protect it i saw how it was getting damaged and broken apart and frankly mistreated abused and whatever word you want to use i said i'm not gonna sit here and watch this happen right in front of me heinz gave his notice but ended up staying on longer than expected post-acquisition because of starfield's multiple delays it was originally supposed to come out on november 11th 2022 heinz said the worst part of his career was to join a place that i genuinely was a fan of and people there i genuinely held in high regard and steam and then to get there and see how it actually worked oof to talk is something right but i'm very much about what's the follow-up to that do you mean what you say or are you just saying shit that sounds good and then as soon as you leave this room that's completely forgotten because that is not how we ever operated at bethesda heinz didn't specify who at microsoft or which parts of its business culture he was specifically referring to but there's clearly no love lost for the xbox maker turned ai hyperscaler damn ethan you're cooking with that uh heinz didn't or that's not to say everything Bethesda said we did.
32:26Sorry. That's not to say everything Bethesda said we did. Yeah, we probably didn't fucking come close to that, but that was absolutely our intention. We're going to do what we say and we... Sorry. I'm now understanding what he's saying. We're going to do what we say and say what we do and be genuine and be authentic. And truthfully, I still think Bethesda is just part of something that is not authentic and is not genuine and that shouldn't be a surprise to you. Woo-hoo-hoo! Is that good stuff, Greg? That's what happens when you're free. You're fucking free. Pete's like, I'm out. I'll go on whatever podcast, say whatever the fuck I want.
32:57It's crazy. You know what I mean? We rarely get this type of conversation. We might get a tweet here, some snark there. This is a full on, yo, I was on the inside. I've been on the inside. I was there for a long ass time when things were good. And now things aren't as good. And I'm not there. And I can say all this shit. Do you have any? I mean, Pete's wrong. Microsoft's great. No. deeper thoughts on this. I mean, is anyone shocked? Like, and I don't mean it in a way of like, I, you know, Pete's talking very freely, which I appreciate of course. And I think it doesn't sound as much. Cause he, even as Ethan points out, right.
33:35Are we talking about this, that, or the other, which version of it? It doesn't sound like it's, it's just the fact that whenever any corporation buys the smaller thing that has been running on its own, regardless of your opinion of Bethesda running on its own pretty well, well enough. I mean, it's made some classic games and all these different things. You bring in new managers to be on the top of it. Like this is what we are seeing, not only everywhere in games, but everywhere, right? As we, you know, even if we're not watching day to day anymore, we continue to see WWE fucking stranglehold under TKO TKO, you know, they're fucking lowering WrestleMania ticket prices as part of storyline.
34:15You're like, holy shit. Is it bad over there? It's so bad. Same idea here. And why we see PlayStation by blue point close blue point. You know what I mean? Like when you bring in somebody else, I might be just that jaded at this point in the industry, but whenever it seems you get bought, it's eventually going to turn bad. Cause it just can't be the same thing. Period. Right? Like it's what we talk about with kind of funny and our independence and how much we love it and never say never, but you and I can't imagine selling to someone right now. Are you fucking kidding me? No way. Cause like, why do we want bosses?
34:50Why do we want someone coming in and telling us what we need to do? And then getting mad when I make some joke, they don't like, you know what I mean? That's not for, you know what I mean? But it's like, yeah, you're going to bring in people in middle management and you're going to have people in the meetings rooms that you're see Pete alluding to that are going to say, yes, yes, yes. We'll do all those things. And then they leave that meeting room. those things never happen because they have 15 16 20 other studios to go be like hey this is that what we need to go do this is what we want to go do yeah i mean it's wild to him talking about you know bethesda being like one of the the best publishers and whatever words he used and this is like it's true no matter what way you shake it especially when you're talking about like you can have your thoughts on starfield now in fall 76 or whatever but like yeah you got some starfield thoughts right now all right talk about how good you want to talk about some numbers starfield's putting up brother good numbers everyone uh but you look at the the e3 eras of when bethesda came in and started doing its showcases right yeah like that was that was kind of wild like that was in an era that we were getting less third-party showcases and they were able to come through with substantial content like they had a ton of stuff to talk about because they had their live service and mobile initiatives but they also have 10 pull ips that they're able to kind of like go back to and update whether it's remakes or new um iterations of and all of that and they were really like riding high for a long time and then there was all the acquisition talks i know that there was multiple people talking about acquiring bethesda before xbox happened yeah then that happens and you know flash forward to where we're at now but yeah pete leaving makes sense made sense at the time right um especially for how long he was there but it also just sucks that it's like that he has these feelings and is not just willing to put them out there, but to put them out there shows a confidence in his beliefs in how bad it is, right?
36:41It's not just like not for me anymore. I respect that, whatever. It's like straight up like, no, this is dog shit. You know, like these are getting damaged and broken apart and frankly mistreated abused, whatever word you want to use. Like, yeah, that's damning. Yeah, that's not how they were going in a different direction. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So man, we'll see what happens for Elder Scrolls six. Just five or six more years. Yeah, exactly. It's so crazy that that's how long video game development takes on that scale. But you can be playing Starfield right now on your PlayStation. You can. The numbers are up.
37:14They're doing great. Steam numbers. Speaking of numbers going up, Epic is reportedly making a Disney-themed extraction shooter. This comes from Zach's Wies and Akataku.
37:29Why? John Drake, why? A new report says that the first game to arrive after Epic and Disney's massive$1.5 billion deal from a few years ago will be an extraction shooter similar to Ark Raiders featuring Disney characters. On April 10th, Bloomberg revealed as part of a larger report on Epic's struggles and future that it has learned that Epic is working on an online shooter that will star unspecified Disney characters working together to defeat enemies and reach an extraction point. According to internal playtesters, the game's mechanics aren't very original, but Bloomberg reports that employees at Epic are hopeful that the company will get everything right and ready before the game's expected launch in November.
38:10This is going to be the first of three games reportedly in development at Epic that are connected to Disney's massive$1.5 billion investment into the company that happened back in 2024. According to Bloomberg, the other two games aren't doing so hot. The second game has received mixed reviews from internal testers, according to sources who spoke to the outlet. Meanwhile, resources were moved from the third game to the extraction shooter and the second project after Disney allegedly expressed disappointment about the progress on the games to Epic. Epic's Global Coms leader Liz Markman said Bloomberg's reporting was, quote, not reflective of the ambitions of the Disney collaboration.
38:44We're building a new game. We're building. We're building new games and entertainment universe of Disney experiences. A spokesperson for Disney said the company was still focused on his long-term collaboration with Epic and that it plans to build a transformational games. God, there's a lot of bad grammar in this. Transformational games and entertainment universe remain unchanged. March 24th, 2026. Epic blog post. Today we are laying off over 1 ,000 Epic employees. I'm sorry we're here again. Well, Tim, and I'm talking about Tim Sweeney. I think you'll be there again. I think we're going to be, what are we talking about?
39:20Like, it's so hard. Cause you don't want to be like, Oh man, this sounds like such a terrible idea. And then like, maybe if you would have pitched our graders, maybe I would have said that sounds like maybe we have enough, but it's just like Epic is reportedly making a Disney themed extraction shooter. Sounds like one of the fake we news headlines that runs back there. Right. I'm just like, we're just throwing garble in it together. Things we talk about all the time. They get passed out to like, do we, what? but is mickey gonna be running around with an ak like what is what the thing about this that is so upsetting is that we sit here and we say these things and it sounds like we're just hating shit and it's like okay we're gonna be here in a couple months you're right great we're gonna be able to cover a story and be like we were right we fucking told you so and the thing that sucks about it is the amount of people losing their jobs the amount of just fucking bullshit going on but the biggest problem is the quality of the game almost doesn't matter like this could be a good game yeah it's still gonna fail you know sure like i just feel like there's something about all of this that we hear and we're just like no this isn't gonna work it's just not gonna work does anyone think it's gonna work i don't think it's gonna work do you think it's gonna work i don't think it's gonna work because and i know i'm a broken record but maybe tim you haven't heard well you've been listening so you've heard it right it's just back to what we're always talking about of like this these people come in they throw 1.5 billion dollars in there to the people who made fortnight because they go just make another fortnight another fortnight you guys did it once you can do it again right and epic probably like yeah fuck yeah we can this is before they lay off all these people and start closing up things that are inside of fortnight you're talking about how there's a downturn in the fortnight fucking numbers and now you're like to say well now we're gonna get all these disney people to come play this game it's like wouldn't have made more sense to just put more disney shit in fortnight like that why wouldn't we have just done that disney it's because that's not double digit return on investment we want to own it.
41:13We want this. We want it. And are you going to be able to get this out of there? I wish them the best. I hope so. Absolutely. Nothing about this to Greg Miller says that's a game I want to play. Now, granted, I'm not a big extraction shooter person. I'm not a big Disney person. So maybe when it is Kylo Loren running around blasting fucking Winnie the Pooh. We're here for it. It just sounds like Fortnite. I'm trying to extract the Chris, the Disney the Infinity Crystal to get back out to fucking put together the fucking key verse from Kingdom Hearts. Hell yeah, brother.
41:47Tim Gettys:The other thing, too, that we shouldn't understate here is how insane, even if this one game does well, and there is a return on investment here, they still invested in two other games all at the same time for Epic to build here, and it is that insane, like, what are we chasing here, and to what ends is it going to be good enough after laying off more and more because only one of the three projects that you greenlit here did anything, you know, it's just, what are, what, what are we doing? The money has to go somewhere. You know what I mean? Yeah. It has to, it just has to, we can't just not do that for some reason.
42:31Good luck to him. Good luck. Everybody. You're a Disney guy. I mean, could that get you in? The thing is, Is that going to get current and he loves Disney? Yeah, but like, man, I think the extraction shooter thing is just, it's tough. It's like, it is, there are genres that I think just have a player-based ceiling to some extent. And we always talk about the limited time of like people having their forever games and all that stuff. Like clearly people play these games. Look at our creators, look at hell divers, like 14 million copies worldwide for our creators by February, 20, definitely an audience and that the ceiling is higher.
43:04but I feel like the more Venn diagram shit you add there, like, okay, well it's Disney. It's like hearing this, like who knows? It could be a more M rated thing. I don't think it's going to be, or even a high teen, like whatever it is. Right. Like we hear this and we, we think, you know, as childish as possible, but like there's some middle ground, but at what point is that then kind of pushing some type of purist fans away or some type of like this type of fans. Like what was the game that we played? the mobile game um the disney disney mirror verse mirror verse surprisingly fun you know it was like hey this is cool like there's something here that like is like it's nifty you know but it's like on this scale when you are literally trying to complete compete with fortnite like they are trying to recreate that magic it's like that's final fantasy 16 was a letdown to square sales wise.
43:58Yeah. This is going to be a letdown to them. This is where Disney will look back and we 1.5 billion and we got this many concurrence that are dropping off immediately. Yeah. Maybe we're wrong. Maybe I bet it's just like, damn man. I don't know. We're still chasing trends. I feel like here. And I don't think this is a trend that's going to net out for them. And again, I think it's the, as always missing the actual lesson of fortnight for night, Fortnite launched right and was a failure. They did the free to play battle Royale as a, Hey, we just like this and we think it'd be cool. And then it blew up and like that changed the world, right?
44:35And every one of you look at Minecraft starts with one guy. Then it goes, we're talking about years and years and years of iteration and development where I don't think Disney stepping in with this deal, thinking it's going to be years and years to get to a huge, but they're going to think this is going to be a launch to be the biggest thing ever. Everyone's going to play it. And we will keep going as you get in there to extract. Walt's head. I don't know what we're getting. Who's Honey? I like it. Let's lean in. Let's go all Winnie the Pooh. That's the move there. Is he Disney?
45:01Tim Gettys:He's Disney, yeah? Yeah, at this point. Definitely, yeah. What we think of him as, but he's technically like... Free use. Nope. Copyright free. Fair use, fair use, fair use. You were so close, Tim. We were so close. free use makes sense public domain free use doesn't make do you want free uses greg no don't worry about it all right um try incognito to google oh man i'm like turning red more red than normal never mind i think i'd say oh um i'm so tired of all that big news uh if i wanted to go somewhere smaller oh where would i look you would of course go to the we our last story the we news channel where we run you through the smallest news items you need to know about.
45:51It's true.
45:55I'm going to message Jen and let her know I'm free use. Oh my god. Winnie the Pooh is too. Let her know that. From BGC, a casting call for Hideo Kojima's new PlayStation stealth franchise, Phyzzant, has revealed potential new details on the project and suggested that performance work is due to begin in the coming months. As spotted by MP1st, a casting call for the project, codenamed Shimmer, has been published. Attached to the same casting director Mario Ueda, who worked on Death Stranding 2. The casting call describes a scene with multiple passengers on a hijacked bus and is looking to cast a mother holding her newborn baby, five teenagers of different ethnicities, two other male passengers, and an antagonistic character with a German accent.
46:39Yes. Notably the villain of the scene described as Mads Mikkelsen in Hannibal, but with flair. so now how do I I want to be one of the male passengers that's what we got to figure out I want Barrett to be one of the teens you think Barrett can pull off a teen? yeah how do you do fellow kids? there it is pragmata review roundup everyone the Metacritic currently is an 85 Opencritic 89 no no no 88 what? going up as we talk about it 9 out of 10 Eurogamer gave it a 4 out of 5 VGC a 4 out of 5 and Michael Heim at IGN says it's an 8 out of 10. Punchy, shooty action and a creative hacking puzzle gameplay mechanic make combat the true highlight of Pragmata.
47:24The story may seem like an afterthought, but its sci-fi drama gives enough to see it all the way through and experience the satisfying third person shooter. Guess what? Today's Gamescast is going to be our review of Pragmata. I will be reviewing it. Other people will too. I don't know who's on it. But other people played it. Roger, he said he beat it.

51:19Man, I've been, you know, slowly working up. She has this dumb little neck, Sammy. All right. So it's like, you got to. I definitely thought Gia for a second. I was like, Gia's neck's never seemed that small. But it's like, you know, it's like her bottle ass head, right? It's like you always got to protect the neck. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. You can't power bomb her. Oh, yeah. I can't do any of that. But it's just like I've been like slowly like working up to it. Yeah. Like, you know, holding her neck, taking care of her. Yeah. Don't call anybody. But then just like, you know, the slight. Yeah. For sure.
51:48For sure. And it's just I'm feeling it. Yeah. I think we're still two years away. Quite a way away. Yeah. But when you can slap on a sharpshooter, though, it feels good. It feels good. I can't wait. we got Colsey saying, Greg, where'd you get that shirt? I want one. I'm wearing my be a good person shirt. And I believe it's just be a good person. It's one of those, uh, Instagrams I got not a, well, I guess it was an ad, but they're a whole brand. Be a good person where, yeah, I grabbed that. And I thought that was a great one.
