Mitch is in his element this week as Bargain Bin Gaymers dives deep into Pokémon Champions — Nintendo's brand new free-to-play competitive battler. With a lifetime of competitive Pokémon behind him, Mitch brings the expert take while Davey plays devil's advocate, putting the community's biggest criticisms to the test. They cover everything you need to know before you download:What Pokémon Champions actually is — and why competitive Pokémon finally has a home of its ownThe free vs paid breakdown — is the $10.50 AUD Starter Pack worth it, or is this secretly predatory?The tiny Pokédex problem — only 186 out of 1,025 Pokémon available at launchPerformance issues — why is a turn-based game struggling at 30fps on Switch 2?The identity crisis — is this game for newcomers, casual fans, or competitive veterans?Why fan-made Pokémon Showdown still beats the official product (Mitch's controversial take)The live service trap — will Pokémon Champions still have players in 12 months?Plus: a roundup of every notable game releasing before the end of April 2026 — including Diablo 4's Lord of Hatred expansion, Saros on PS5, and the surprise hit Inkonbini: One Store, Many Stories.

The launch of Sorare Set has reopened a question some Sorare managers are quietly asking:What if Sorare was only free-to-play?For established Sorare Pro managers, Set feels like an addition. But if we were brand new to Sorare today, would Set be enough? Would we ever feel the need to move beyond free-to-play?In this episode of SorareAndrews, we discuss:• Whether Set actually lowers the barrier to entry or creates a parallel game• How progression, rewards, and motivation differ between Set and Pro• If free-to-play can deliver long-term engagement without ownership• Whether Sorare needs paid competition to remain compellingSupport the content by becoming a member of the Laird Social Club: https://patreon.com/andrewmlaird

What happens when autobattlers fail to monetize? We pull Arto Huhta into the cast and chat about Telegram's pseudo-WeChat ambitions. Eric releases a distrack on Game Designer's obsessed social spaces, and Phil wants more blood from psychologists' nonsensical F2P "choice overload." Chris enleashes a model-meets-UGC experiment: a three-algorithm simulation that shows how recommendation systems distort consumer welfare and creator inequality. We discuss: How Arto sees the split between economy design, product management, and classical economics (hint: it's not what you think) Pets as permanent progression, and the design logic behind Nonstop Knight's monetization turnaround Why creator inequality explodes under bad reinforcement A brewing debate on regulation that is just getting started...
