On this week's episode of Go For Bronze we discuss the economics of modern gaming. Rumors of Grand Theft Auto VI costing $150, PlayStation Plus increasing its price, and with early access plaguing new releases it is quite costly to enjoy games these days. In this new cutthroat era you must make smart decisions and release high quality titles to survive. Volition is shutting down due to the lackluster release of the 2022 reboot of Saints Row and Gearbox is up for sale due to the mismanagement by parent company Embracer. PlayStation Plus has increased its annual price tag and we discuss the value of it all. PlayStation Plus Extra has a few titles leaked for September but no word on the Premium classics at the moment. Ace is currently loving Twisted Metal and Joel is experiencing the newest odyssey from Bethesda Game Studios over on Xbox. Larian Studios has released Baldur's Gate 3 to critical success and we are eager to dive in to see if it really lives up to the hype. Ubisoft's latest shooter XDefiant has failed the certification process from PlayStation and Xbox delaying the release however, it may come as soon as the end of the month with a new conditional certification requiring a day one patch. October spooks Alone in the Dark out of this year and into January 2024. Spider-Man 2 is now getting official stills released so if you want to stay away you have been warned! Would you pay more than $70 for the next release of Grand Theft Auto? Thank you so much for listening to the show!
