879 - 02/04/24 Bobby Blackwolf Show - Retailers Dropping Physical Games, Spec Ops: The Line Delisted
- I will NOT be wearing an Apple Vision Pro during a taping of this podcast, because I'm not buying it. This version, at least.
- I visited a new pinball arcade in Atlanta, and noticing a new trend in "Eatertainment" venues to bring back Third Spaces to society.
- Retailers are starting to drop physical releases, which means that game preservation is going to become much more difficult as time goes on for modern day titles.
- Spec Ops: The Line is an impactful military shooter that wasn't a commercial success, but now you can't buy it anymore as it has been delisted on all the digital storefronts. (Since it has a physical release, you can still buy a copy used, though!)
- Then we take some time to talk about Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth and Persona 3 Reload, since OLR was not happening due to a power outage.
