Hey guys, welcome to this quick take episode. We're so excited to have you here with us. In the past,

these quick take episodes actually were only available to those who

financially supported the show through Apple subscriptions and Patreon. But due to popular

demand, we have decided to shake up the perks for our supporters and we'll be releasing

these quick takes on Saturdays to everyone, giving you all some extra free content that was

previously unavailable to the public.

And these quick takes are a little more laid back, and they're hosted by just one of us.

So sit back, relax, and enjoy this quick take episode.

Shazam! Boom!

Hey guys, it's Paul here with another quick take for you all.

Thank you so much for supporting the show.

Josh and I really do appreciate it.

And for this quick take, I had posted in our Discord server that I needed a couple of subjects to talk about because I wasn't too sure what to do here. And so courtesy of legendary

supporter Jake, he asked me to give my takes on game monetization. So DLC versus subscription

versus micro transactions versus battle pass. Now, I don't know if I'm the

best person to ask this about because I am generally anti all of those monetization methods.

My main thing is I just want to be able to pay full price for a game and just have all the

content.

So in many cases in the past, I will wait until there is a game of the year edition that's

got all the DLC thrown in and I'll buy it all at once.
