Sony Bought Firewalk Studios. Are They Hypocrites?

TechRaptor Gaming Podcast

This week on the podcast the crew talks about the massive failure success of Hi-Fi Rush and how Xbox is changing their definition of success in the age of streaming games. This week has been all about acquisitions as Sony purchases Firewalk Studios and SEGA purchases Rovio. Do we think that Sonic will show up in a new Angry Birds game, or that the Angry Birds will be appearing on Mobius?

Talking about games that they’ve played Otton talks about his time in Horizon: Forbidden West Burning Shores DLC and how empty the new area feels. Rut plays an idle game for children. Stretch expresses his frustration with a boss that won’t let you progress in Stray Blade, and Scrappy finally dives back into Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order to get hyped for the new game!
