We couldn’t afford Matthew McConaughey
We had a couple of juicy news bits this week about disappoint - nay,heartbreaking- launch woes, so we thought we’d engage in every dev’s nightmare by talking about bad launches on The Electronic Wireless Showpodcast. What are some of the bad launches we remember? What part do we play in this ecosystem? Are we just doomed to get bad PC ports for the next few years, or is this going to happenforevernow.
Plus, a terrifying Tower Of Jocularity that challenges us to know when games came out (we do quite well, I think), the games we’ve been playing right now, and a trio of movie recommendations.

What are we playing this week?Nate, as is his way, has been playingHorizon Zero Dawnwith his daughter, as well as the updatedWorldBox. James has been having a go at time-travelly physics puzzle gameEntropy Centre, and I’ve been playing the newFinal Fantasydlc forPowerWash Simulator. My notes also say someone mentionedA Pirate Quartermaster, but not who. I’m going to guess Nate.
