This is the Gamerce with Jobs conference call for Wednesday, September 22nd, 2021. I'm your host, Amanda

Nolton. And today I've got joining me in the second chair, I've got Glendon Stegledas. Hello.

Hello. Hi. It's a lovely summer, Sunday, summer evening. So I thank you so much for joining me.

Also joining us today, we've got a special guest,

Chris Cobb from Pragma. He's going to talk to us today about online services for multiplayer

studios and what it takes to get them off the ground. He's also a forum member by the name of Lobster.

So welcome to the show. Thank you so much for joining us today.

Yeah. Thanks for having me. Hello. Hey. Let's go ahead and talk about some games before we get to the

serious stuff. So I'm going to lead off with the big one here because I've been dying to hear about it,

Glendon. Why don't you tell us about Death Loop? I will, but first, I need to tell

the story of my intro to Death Loop. All the coverage of this game was weird. It was weird in a way

that, like, it was really hard to figure out what the game was. The gameplay was very uninteresting.

Everything about it just seemed like it was going to be a tire-fire burning pile of mess.

And I'd written this one off.

I knew it was coming out, but I was thinking, you know, I'll wait, pick it up in six,

eight months when it's on sale.

And then I think it came out Tuesday.

So the review embargo was up either Sunday or Monday.

And across the board, glowing 10 out of 10, five-star reviews.

And people saying it was like one of the most innovative and

interesting games they played in not just like the year, but like decades.

It's a game, and this is going to be hard.
