Advertise on podcast: Never Free To Play

Quick Note: Sean’s audio is of lower quality for the first 8 minutes but is fixed afterwards.  He apologizes. With Robert and Jason being not free to play, Karch and Sean return to the Never Free to Play podcast to discuss the “Xbox and Bethesda Games Showcase,” and “Final Fantasy VII 25th Anniversary Stream,” to news, hottakes, and hopes. Karch has also been playing a lot of Persona 5 Royal and Sean is back on…fell off…is glitching with the Skyrim wagon.

In the year 2183 there’s only one man who Humanity can turn to to represent it on the galactic stage and stop Saren and his Geth allies.  That man is Johnny Shepard and he’s here…to mostly walk the middle of the road and be a people pleaser. The guys are back for a podcast and amongst talk of Dr. Brockledurk’s 5,000 deaths in Elden Ring, Karch’s diplomatic monarchy in Triangle Strategy, and Sean’s wardening in Dragon Age: Origins we get to the real star of the episode: Did Jason actually manage to beat a video game?  And Mass Effect at that?  Turn in to see what kind of galaxy Jason and Johnny Shepard make.

We’re in the grips of KARCH MADNESS (well Karch is), and what better time than to throw our brains together and decide what game to play next now that we’re all True Astroneers.  Along the way we talk the March 2022 PlayStation State of Play (aka the SquareEnix Show), grow cold on Aloy and Horizon: Forbidden West, and beat our heads against FromSoftware's new masterpiece: Elden Ring.

Join Karch, Jason, and Sean in this week’s Never Free to Play Podcast. Before the topic of the show, Karch and Sean discuss their recent gaming victories and talk about Mass Effect 2, how it compares to its predecessor and how it holds out nearly ten years later (and also how bad at romance Sean is). This week’s topic is Emulation, Preservation, and Piracy. The guys discuss questions like “Are used games the same as piracy?”, “When is emulation ok?”, and “What should we be doing for game preservation and what’s emulation’s role in it?”. Also, we got distracted by Mel Gibson…that is all. Email us at:[email protected]
