Remember when you bought a game and got the whole game? When patches fixed bugs instead of adding microtransactions? When developers finished their games before selling them to you?
Welcome to Grumpy Old Gamer, the podcast for everyone who lived through gaming's golden age and survived to see what it's become. We cut through the PR spin, the marketing lies, and endless cycles of manufactured excitement that have infected gaming media.
Every two weeks, we examine what's worth your money and what's designed to separate you from it. We dig into forgotten classics that put modern releases to shame, dissect why your favourite franchise got ruined by corporate buyouts, and occasionally admit when a new game doesn't completely disappoint us.
This is honest conversation about games from people who remember when the industry had standards and when "early access" meant you were lucky enough to get a demo disk with your magazine subscription.
Grumpy Old Gamer. Because someone needs to say what everyone's thinking while the rest of gaming media pretends everything is fine.
New episodes fortnightly. Stay strong. Stay grumpy.
