I'm guessing you're more concerned with the main account, but it did happen, and it looks like the stream got good views. "Ironclad rules" though is pretty funny. It's something that can be mentioned, but I'm not sure which one of us is supposed to be the cop about this. And while I agree that it's standard practice, I'm not losing sleep over it if it's missed. I'm skeptical that it makes that big of a difference overall. We have twice as many followers on Twitch for one, and they tend to flow in immediately when we're live, even before I shoot out a Tweet.
Lol, it's kind of funny how this is such a popular opinion now all due to crossplay. It's more about fanboy ammo than actually being something that matters much.
That's because it was stuck in the middle of Call of Duty and Battlefield. It was destined to fail.People asking for Titanfall 3 are asking for Respawn to be in serious trouble. They tried twice, the second time they nailed it by all accounts, and it didn't work commercially.
And it's pretty important to remember a lot of Titanfall 2's failure is due to EA's horrific scheduling of its release.
The thing that came out recently was that the Titanfall 2 release date was chosen by Respawn entirely. They wanted to go head to head with CoD.
Battlefield got an annoying delay when the date was already locked in, but yeah, Respawn thought they could go toe to toe with CoD.
I can understand that and I don't want physical media to go away (even though I buy almost everything digital nowadays), but you can be sure it's going to happen eventually. Especially for a portable device. The old Switch will always be there. I wouldn't be surprised if the rumors of one of the next gen Xbox SKU's will be digital only.The new switch model being digital only would be horrible. Wish the Allies stop bringing it up constantly. Not everyone has good internet or the desire to go full digital
Thats the thing, this 'Arrogant Sony' has come back all because of cross play and them pulling out of E3.It was a really bizzare question in that it seemed to ask about all generations, and yet the person writing the question was only thinking contemperoneously.
Discounting everything Sonys done because you don't agree with cross play is... oof.

Yeah, while I do agree that Sony is becoming somewhat arrogant (as I explained before on here), I don't agree that they didn't do anything at all for gaming (I totally forgot about that part when I replied on here the previous time).Thats the thing, this 'Arrogant Sony' has come back all because of cross play and them pulling out of E3.
Cross play - yeah its crap but just because MS and Nintendo have suddenly decided its OK doesnt mean Sony are arrogant when they have been better then both companies for years until the recent change from the opposition.
As for E3, thats obviously to do with the PS5 so the idea that they are arrogant is ridiculous. If they were arrogant they would hold E3 anyway and just use the few games we still have left and some 3rd party ones and expect that to be enough.
Its clear that anyone who promotes the idea that Sony are now arrogant is just basing that on their own feelings and console war rhetoric because PS4 is still the best selling console in the world even in their 5th year on the market and they have had a lot of praise in the last year due to award winning exclusives.

I am sure they will still have models which have physical discs or cartridges, but I wouldn't be surprised if there are digital only versions for Nintendo, Microsoft (and maybe Sony) next gen. They make more money on digital games, they can save on space and costs for the console and a lot of people don't buy physical any more.
Not talking about it won't change those facts. It's not like they have any say in the matter anyway.

I get that for sure. I don't know if the smaller Switch is going to be a digital only version. I am only saying that digital only consoles are coming one way or another. I don't know when, but my guess would be next gen (next to consoles with physical media). I would probably still buy a console with physical media even though I almost exclusively buy digital (with a couple of exceptions). I still want to be able to play dvd's and blu-ray's on those consoles even though I don't own a lot of them.I think that with nintendo saying there send goal is to start getting multiple switches into households putting out a digital only model would be disastrous. Imagine being the parent who buys a second switch so there kids dont have to share anymore only to realize that none of the games they already own can be played on this new model.
Personally speaking I want to get a second switch so my girlfriend and I can play animal crossing together. Theres no way she would be okay with having to rebuy zelda is she wanted to play it on her switch when we own the cartridge.
New to the schedule? "Civilization VI with Ian and Sofia" this Thursday!
Ian solidifying the role of EZA Studio MVP.
At this rate, Ian will be living in the studio really soon.
Yes, it's the glaring weakness of the Allies.More PC game streams.... Finally! Finally! Thank you Ian. Hope he continues!
I dont see anything crazy about damani's opinion especially in the timeframe that it was given and do not think in anyway he would be someone that wouldnt admit that he was wrong when given time to show the games long term success.
It had been out for what not even 48 hours at that point ? Of course people are going to be wondering if the game is really truly a success at that point and thankfully we had someone on the podcast to drive the discussion like that. Its doing super well but games can fall pretty hard and quick at one wrong turn

I can totally relate with that. I own a crazy amount of PC games on steam (with being almost addicted to buying them in bundles or steam sales), but I hardly ever play on PC. For one because my PC is getting way too old (it's from 2012 and I really need to put together a new one), but also because I am not the biggest fan of playing most games on PC. Exceptions for me are mouse driven games (stuff like RimWorld, Prison Architect and the like), but for all the others I prefer consoles by a long shot.Not only EZA, but with many other Patreon-funded groups (KF comes to mind 1st). They are heavily console focused as well. I guess it is the ease of use of the platform that appeals to so many.
Case in point: PUBG - it was doing so well in 2017, then when Fortnite blatantly copied its design,

I watched it on Twitch yesterday, but I usually wait for youtube as I really hate the Twitch player on PS4 (I don't watch that many streams either, but I did enjoy the ones I have watched recorded in the new studio).Oh, so Huber and Damiani's stream did happen?! Genuinely, there's nothing on the official social medias about it so I was under the impression it didn't happen.
Hope it goes on Easy Allies Plays soon because I really want to watch more RE2!

I sometimes accidentally go out of the vod on my PS4 because it works differently then the youtube app I am used to and you than have to scrub through the whole thing to find where you were instead of it remembering where you were (which I really got used to because of youtube). So for longer streams like Ben's Tales Of Vesperia stream, it's not something I want to do.
Ian mentioned it on the last group stream, but didn't mention the one with Don haha.New to the schedule? "Civilization VI with Ian and Sofia" this Thursday!

I like how Ian is now interested in streaming thanks to the studio.
Ian used to have a full time job as an editor as well as being an Allie, right? If he's able to commit so much time to working on the studio, did he get time off or is he only Allies now?
Jones has said that all of the allies besides Don are full time with EZA. Some will still do freelance work, like Ian, or Kyle with Keighley, but they're still full time EZA.Ian used to have a full time job as an editor as well as being an Allie, right?

It wasn't that crazy to be honest. Radical Heights started really strong too and died down fast after. At the surface it's not that far fetched too assume that Apex could be similar it's only if we get into the differences that might showcase a different future for Apex.
It is crazy IF YOU PLAYED IT. Why do people act like every BR game is the of the same quality? Radical Heights was like a 6.5. This game has a 91 on Metacritic.
It doesn't really matter when it's recorded, it's still going to be outdated when it goes live on Youtube. And if you wait until Friday, any news from the start of the week will be a week old when it releases. Just the downside of weekly recordings.Hello Guys. Is it just me or the Podcast format seems a bit outdated? I like the podcast, but it seems to me the format and time of recording limits a lot of the conversation. Once the Allies get to talk about a topic, we have read and gone far beyond the initial news that it seems kind of redundant at the time.
I still appreciate their perspective tho, but I believe recording the podcast on friday afternoon and ready for patreons on Saturday morning would be best. Monday for Youtube.
Also, Ian seems like the mvp now.
Again I don't think Damiani has played it at that point it was like 2 days after the release. Anyone that wants to drive the wow Damiani was friggin nuts for ever doubting Apex train matter what be my guest. In that case it's agree to disagree but honestly I just don't see how it's so hard to see his perspective considering the info/knowledge he had at that point in time. He isn't even the only one Kotaku splitscreen shared similar concerns.It is crazy IF YOU PLAYED IT. Why do people act like every BR game is the of the same quality? Radical Heights was like a 6.5.

Yep, but they always seems to miss a lot of news with the podcast recording on Tuesday. At least on Friday they will cover everything.
It doesn't matter when they record, Unless it's daily, there's always gonna be something that they miss. It's just how it is.Yep, but they always seems to miss a lot of news with the podcast recording on Tuesday. At least on Friday they will cover everything.

So the group stream is still TBD. My guess is everyone watching Huber play some Apex Legends?
My most wanted full play throughs: Kyle plays MegaMan Legends 2 and Brandon plays Metroid Prime
