Defining Duke, Episode 170 | Is Xbox CHANGING Game Pass In 2024...?
🕑 Added 2024-04-04 16:00:13 +0000 UTCIt's quiet... Too quiet. Indeed, we've found ourselves in the "pre-showcase lull" for Xbox. Still, we have some big news to sift through. For starters, indepedent developers have thrived during the era of Xbox Game Pass thanks to massive bags being handed out for day one access which compliments the lower budgets of these titles. According to prominent indie developers, that gold rush is over. The Dukes dive into the future of Xbox Game Pass. If the way Xbox sells games is changing and the layoffs that have occurred all circle around the sustainability of the business, then there's no reality where Game Pass gets out unscathed. So, what are they changing, how do indies factor in, and what does is accomplish? Speaking of indies, it would see that Hollow Knight Silksong is finally on the way. When will this massive game land for Xbox and is it sooner than we expect? Plus, more on the questionable state of Final Fantasy 14, the future of KOTOR Remake, Dragon's Dogma 2's success, and so much more!

Yooo much love to the Dukes! Ducal is pronounced duke-al, but it's a new one to me too! Just learned it a couple months ago while reading Dune! Great show this week even with the slow news week #DDLite 😁

Matty I’m so with you on the automated help lines. I furiously spam zeros until one of two things happens, either I get a real person or it hangs up on me. For the newer ones that take voice prompts, I like to say out loud over and over , “speak to someone…..speak to service representative” 😂 or my favorite “Help me, help me, help me!”

I have the same quest Matty is talking about. I've rested at least 15-20 times since taking it on. That kid is so fucking dead
