No episódio de hoje, mergulhamos de cabeça no polêmico modelo Games-as-a-Service (GaaS). Vamos explorar como esse formato está moldando o mercado de jogos, transformando a experiência dos jogadores, e impondo novos desafios para desenvolvedores. Será que as microtransações e as atualizações contínuas estão trazendo inovação ou fadiga para o público? E mais: discutiremos se o GaaS é realmente sustentável a longo prazo ou se estamos caminhando para uma bolha no setor. Aperte start e vem com a gente!

Diablo IV's new expansion is on the way after a teaser was shown off Blizzcon. (Source: Kotaku) Ubisoft decomissions old games' online services, with titles like NCIS, Ghost Recon Future Soldier, and more being affected. (Source: ClutchPoints) Konami's latest earnings call may have slipped up and revealed that more than just Silent Hill 2 is being remade. Will these remakes evolve horror in the modern era, or keep things respectful of the original? (Source: VGC) The Day Before gets a new trailer and delay to December 7 when early access is supposed to begin. This game has been covered in controversy and debate about it's legitimacy since much earlier in its development. Is this delay and trailer an indication that the game is actually coming out and isn't fake or a scam? (Source: wccftech) World of Warcraft news out of Blizzcon indicates that there will be a story arc that covers three expansions starting with The War Within. Normally WoW expansions are self-contained stories, so this change is going to be some interesting new ground. (Source: X) PlayStation Studios may have hit some bumps in the road as Sony allegedly would like to see more GAAS focus in their portfolio of games. This controversial move is reportedly causing some friction between the studios.

In this podcast, Tom Hammond, CEO at UserWise, and Sam Abbott, Head of Monetization at Rec Room, discuss how player segmentation can lead to stronger monetization in mobile games. They delve into the importance of understanding individual segments and creating tailored games that appeal to those segments. They also explore how to break down player behavior and analyze actions within the game to better understand and serve different segments."You can't just look at the average. You really need to look at each individual segment and figure out where that segment is finding value in the game." - Sam Abbott (Timestamp: 6:17)"It's not enough just to appeal to a certain segment. You actually have to have a game that is tailored to that segment." - Sam Abbott (Timestamp: 11:03)"In terms of how we think about segmentation, it's really about breaking down player behavior by the actions that they're taking within the game." - Sam Abbott (Timestamp: 14:54)

Just when you thought the fine individuals at SPR industries couldn't make a conversation about the games industry sound even more casual than usual, they strike back with an episode so off-the-cuff that even they aren't quite sure where it's going. This week, Zak and Aaron sit down to discuss the various nuances of the "games as a service model," as well as other oddities like Netflix canceling the "Resident Evil" show, the PS5 price hike, Aaron's enduring hatred of "Rogue One," and the very idea of hate. If that sounds like a lot to cover in a scant 66 minutes, you're right. But it's also a lot of fun.Please, enjoy.Listen to Beach Girl on SpotifyCheck out edouggieart on EtsyCheck out even more edouggieart on Instagram

Microsoft Flight Simulator returns after 6 years of no big titles and this one is a whammy. Microsoft recruits Asobo Studios, known for A Plague Tale most recently. They have built a flight simulator that lets you fly anywhere in the world. Literally anywhere in the world. They used AI technology combined with Bing's mapping system to produce the whole world and place 3D objects on top of flat, satellite imagery. The result is a beautiful journey to anywhere in the world you want to go. We then dive into Rocket Arena and find very quickly it's not a very good game. It was a good attempt but too shallow of a delivery to make it worth anyone's time.In the news, Ubisoft has their next Ubisoft Forward featuring Immortals Fenix Rising, the new name for Gods and Monsters. They also reveal a new game from the creators of Steep called Riders Republic. It now features bikes as part of the gameplay. Nintendo surprised us with a new game called Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity. Finally, Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War gives us a taste at what the multiplayer looks like and how it will work with Warzone.Our discussion has us revisit Marvel's Avengers to discuss the online service component of the game.
