The Player’s Club Podcast Ep 95: PlayStation Plus and the State of Game Demos

You ready for this, Playa?

Welcome back to The Player’s Club! This episode has  Emmett Watkins Jr and Allan Muir returning to talk about the current state of game demos. With the new and improved PlayStation Plus promising 2-hour game trials once it releases this summer, it’s time to consider if locking trials behind this paywall is a good idea. Also, what are the most influential demos of the past, and how did we get to the current state of game demos? We tackle all that and more in this week’s Topic of the Show.

Also, in that Whatcha Playin segment, Al talks about their time with Kirby and the Forgotten Land and Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot while Emmett talks about his time with Knack, Borderlands 3, and Tiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon Keep for Borderlands 2.

You can listen to the show on iTunes, Spotify, Pocket Casts, Google Podcasts, on this article, and more!
