The Finger Guns Podcast Ep. 249 – Should We Have The Option To Tip Developers?
The Finger Guns Podcast returns once again with our pre-250 episode which incredibly, is episode 249! Join Rossko, Kat and Miles on this (unintentionally) shorter episode as we jump through the week’s interesting news and talk about all the wonderful games we’ve been playing this week (or, well, two of them).
This week then we talk through the BAFTA Game Awards winners after the ceremony took place this week. Were there any surprises? We jump in to find out.
Also this week ex-Blizzard boss Mike Ybarra has been on Twitter this week discussing the possibilities of ‘tipping’ game developers at the end of a game you like. The three of us weigh in on whether or not we could see this idea moving forward and if we could see it happening with such strong regulation on monetisation in gaming already. Will the tips end up in the hands of the right people? Will it cause bosses to pay their developers less? We try and work out a way through to a satisfying end.
In Game of the Week Miles sings the praises of the awesome Dave the Diver now it’s finally landed on PlayStation and Kat concurs as she also praises the wonderful Dave the Diver and surprises Rossko with a beautiful Dave the Diver remix of one of his own songs. It’s quite something. Rossko? Well he’s been playing the Sea of Thieves Private Beta on PlayStation.
In recommendations Kat talks The Octopus Murders on Netflix (true crime! octopuses and stuff! databases!) whilst Miles wants to share with the world the wonders of Kat’s banana bread and Nolan’s Interstellar.
Playing along with the screenshot game on the pod? Here are this weeks!
