032 - Does Concord Foretell A Doomed Industry?
Welcome to Scorebored, a gaming podcast that only takes video games as seriously as they deserve. Jordan and Skylar talk about how games intertwine with their lives, offer thoughts on how to improve the industry across the board, and provide other attempts at levity, from the play perspective, amid an industry and culture seemingly designed to tear you down.
This week we're talking Concord, but first we'll dive into the usual roundup of new music, quite a few books(!?!), Quidditch Champions, The Crow(s), other new releases, and more.
