  1. Sadly Days Gone 2 change dot org is slowing down, drastically. Not getting enough people to sign the petition. Okay, you may have gone along with the media and left Days Gone out of your top 10 while exaggerating how great RE2R was. Hooray, a guy in Japan came up with some ridiculous puzzles for me to do while I run around his police station, dungeon (so innovative!)I t’s redemption time, especially Now that Jade Raymond (of Stadia and Visceral shame) is probably making another Al-Qaeda game for SONY.  Speaking of which, rumor has it, Ubisoft is trying to redeem themselves by making an AC focused on Richard the Lionheart’s male and female bodyguards. Best start tweeting Ubisoft if you don’t want this to get canned.

  3. Hey kinda funny games crew i have a question. Will you guys keep covering and supporting Ubisoft and their games even though there's still abusers at the company and the toxic workplace culture hasn't changed yet? Are you guys gonna hold Ubisoft accountable?

  4. Correct me if im wrong but are the KF Crew just completely ignoring the ubisoft thing. I dont get to watch the full daily shows (lack of time) but I looked at timestamps and skimmed through today and yesterdays episode and comments and saw nothing about the continued toxicity and abscense of change from Ubisoft. If they are thats pretty fuckin scummy

  5. I don’t think the video game market is suited for Netflix. I don’t think an overwhelming majority of their customers play video games on a regular basis. Not enough to where they could do a subscription service like game pass and put hard-core video games up there. My mother subscribers on Netflix my fathers a subscriber to Netflix they would never play call of duty borderlands dishonored now if Netflix could somehow put a Wii sports app up there they can make some money. If Netflix could somehow do a very casual video game market I am talking very casual point-and-click adventures that moms and dad would play or could play with their children the little cell phone games you see pop up on your YouTube advertisements let people play those to burn time. Now of Netflix did something like that for five dollars a month and all you needed was a little wii remote they could actually make some waves then. Remember when Wii sports came out it was one of the best selling games ever when wii play came out. Wow the system was a big success for Nintendo they never could come up with another game to hit those numbers they wished they could but it didn’t quite happen if someone could and made it available to everyone with a television streaming simple games nothing too complicated to stream they could make some money some big money

  6. I think it's great, Netflix can dev game/tv/movies alongside each other – you can experience the best parts.

    If there's a big fight, you play it.
    Maybe it's boring moment watching 2 unknown voice actors, so instead they use 2 great actors to make it magical – TV, think Witcher.

  7. If Nrtflix tried to get into gaming, I would imagine it being more of streaming game service a la The Sega Channel back in the 90's. You wouldn't need the janky tech, but with their experience with streaming tech, it might be a viable competition to a game pass if they could get companies to sign on.

  8. I swear I mentioned in the comments of a Gamescast like a year ago the mobile version of Crazy Taxi has the Offspring music. I can’t remember which episode it was, but remakes remasters came up. I’ve had it on my phone for a long time. I wish Sega would just drop it on consoles.

  9. IF Netflix seriously does get into gaming AND makes its own games I hope they make a dark souls type game but with color. I truly enjoy the dark souls genre of games but in the chance Netflix makes a cloud gaming service a more colorful game would better handle the video compression.
