Five, four, three, two, live, Michelle.

Hello, everybody, welcome to episode 924 of the Video Game Outsiders podcast and one of your host, Michelle Madison.

And I, of course, am your John Jacobson. And I am Generation Rye. How are you all doing tonight? Good. Now, John, you sound a little low energy, considering it's the Cod episode. I know you guys both played the beta. I sound low energy. I just, screarly. There was a long pause after I introduced myself myself I feel like it was too much of a pause

before you said your name listen for me my perspective this has been a jam packed week like I it's

unbelievable what it just happened here with just gaming stuff yeah there's just nonstop you also

purchased Mario for the 14th time well Well, we'll get into that.

Opti says Xbox is dead.

Yeah, we will probably bring up the game pass stuff again in the news.

We've got thoughts about that.

It's always one step forward, two steps back with them.

Like, they make so much progress, and then they shoot themselves in the foot.

Right.

But does the average gamer even know about this? Or is why. That's why. As soon as it hits their credit card, they're going to find out. That's for sure. Well, in Europe, apparently, if you don't cancel, it'll just keep going at the normal price, at the regular price or whatever, the old price. That's true. Yeah, whatever happened to the grandfather. Like, I swear I still have a buddy that pays a dollar for.

He paid like 10 years in advance and got like a dollar a year.

Well, he's in.

That person that bought like 10, 120 months has 120 months.

For a dollar a month, yeah.

Which is good for those people, but everyone else. So I also, okay, we'll talk in the news section. I mean, the most important thing is that Battlefield 6 is coming out in a few days. Yeah, we're doing a round table next week. And speaking of, we're going to be given away a copy of Battlefield 6 from our sponsor, loaded.com. So if you want to win games from formerly CDKeesloaded.com, you can come to our website at video game outsiders.com. Join the Discord. Say hello. You don't have to do anything to enter. You just click a button. We're giving away Battlefield 6. And then Digimon, that popular was it time stranger or something. I played the demo. But Ryan, I know you have a key. We're going to give a key away. We're going to talk about it when we talk about Pokemon, because we're going to do an episode devoted to like creature collecting monster, whatever. But I'm curious to hear about new Pokemon versus new Digimon. Get your perspective. So that's going to be a fun show in a couple weeks. It's going to be good. Yes. So an anonymous gift or the Xbox is dead tier one sub. So the chatter is here... Yeah, Xbox is dead. We've been getting a lot of people reaching out to us. Pissed off, John. To be fair, we have a big Xbox fan base because, of course, we started as like a 360 podcast in a way. And people are definitely... We started as an Xbox podcast before the 360. Yeah, but that's what really defined the error, right?

A couple of episodes in.

Well, we, there was no 360 when this podcast started.

But didn't it come out like a couple weeks later?
