Will this increase the visibility of the brand of Minecraft, like Pokemon Go did for the brand of Pokemon? - BJ Bernardo 00:57:08 - On Wednesdays show while talking about Sony locking down one of the modes in Call of Duty Modern Warfare the sentiment seemed to be,” Yeah it sucks, but that’s just how it is.”Since Phil Spencer has taken over Xbox he has been on record stating that he doesn’t want to exclude gamers from a gun, mission, etc. and that it is bad for the gamers and bad for games in general. To his credit, Xbox has not had any exclusive content in their marketing deals since that time. I believe this has hurt Xbox and their bottom line but he has kept his word. Why shouldn’t we hold PlayStation to the same standard? - King 01:03:10 - Squad Up:Frankfurtter(Steam) 01:04:00 - You‘re Wrong This Week’s Hosts: TUESDAY: Greg and Imran WEDNESDAY: Greg and O’Dell Harmond Jr. THURSDAY: Greg and Imran GAMESCAST: Thursday, 10/3 @ 2 p.m. Tim, Greg, Fran, Imran FRIDAY: Imarn and Tim Learn more about your ad choices.
