Summary

Is PlayStation missing an element of 'fun' that used to be present in its ecosystem? One listener wrote in with such a thought, revolving his argument around one key figure from yore: Kevin Butler. The long-lost fictional Sony executive represented a different time for PlayStation. The question is, do we want to go back? News items this week include a peculiar missive from Sony in Brazil about Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard, an analysis of Sony's first quarter fiscal report, Tencent's pursuit of Ubisoft, and more. Other listener inquiries include ones on the potential of an $80 game, the value-versus-length argument, subscriptions acting as modes of curation, and Dustin's peculiar pronunciation of a northwestern American state. If only we could have done more to protect him. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Greetings and salutations. Welcome back to Sacred Symbols, a PlayStation podcast. This is episode number 214.

0:32.4

My name is Colin Moriarty. I'm joined as always by my son Chris Reagan. Chris, how are you today? I like this, uh,

0:38.4

this, this shot, the darkness in the background. Yeah, it's your normal shot, but it's a little dark back there. You're, you're upfront.

0:45.4

Uh, you have a white shirt on, so it makes it really is a nice contrast here. I don't know if you intended that. How are you?

0:50.4

Uh, no, not intentional. I just, uh, I was streaming a little bit earlier and I like to have the, the little, little colorful lights on in the background. I just never changed them.

0:59.4

But I'm feeling pretty good. I woke up so early today. I've been getting up, I've been getting up around like six to six thirty in the morning,

1:07.4

like every day for the last couple of days, which is like not normal for me, but it's been pretty nice to actually have, like I've had two meals today already,

1:19.4

which is like, it's amazing how much better you feel just being a person, you know, instead of waking up at like two p.m.

1:27.4

Did you have a breakfast where it was like eggs, bacon, toast, like a bowl of cereal, orange juice, milk,

1:34.4

well, fruit, maybe like half a mat. I didn't do this.

1:39.4

That, those commercials with the cereals and they're always like, it's like a glass of milk, a lot inside a glass of orange juice and cereal and like cut fruits.

1:48.4

Because it's like part of a balanced breakfast that I'm like, dude, this is maybe the maximum you should be eating in the morning.

1:55.4

It's like three thousand calories per person. It's a part of anything, you know, it's just, it's part of diabetes.

2:00.4

2:07.4

And that was like the shot because it made it like extra vibrant, which is interesting. So it's like not milk.

2:13.4

It's like Elmer's glue sometimes. It's kind of strange. What are we talking about?

2:18.4

Oh, yes, Dustin Furman, executive producer of last media wearing his Evangelian shirt, or as I would call when I was a kid, Evangeline.

2:26.4

Yeah. I had no idea. No idea. None.

2:31.4

There's a scene in the movie, the Robin Williams movie, one hour photo where he says neon Genesis Evangelion or so.

2:39.4

It's maybe even worse than that. And it's like this moment. It's like this great movie. And there's this moment that sticks out that's like.
