This week on the show, we talk about the positive and negative effects of Pre-Releases in the gaming world.

Do developers actually make changes after we’ve played them an given feedback? Or is is just marketing and hype train fuel? Join Luke, Elliot and Cam as they talk about their own experiences playing games ahead of their release window.

Elliot walks us through the ideas behind BETA’s and early access and Luke fills us in on his time at Paris Games Week, Cam and Elliot try not to get too jealous.
