About This Episode
Podcasts are funny, right? You get a chance to listen in on a conversation you’re not a part of and for whatever reason… it’s not weird. We want to make sure that you feel as not weird as possible by telling you a little bit about ourselves and letting you get to know us.
The hyped Iron Man sim “Anthem” also had an interesting VIP Demo fall into players’ hands this week that wasn’t received nearly as well as Bioware would have hoped, and that’s what we want to talk about this week on the Free Play Podcast.
