For a genre that’s alleged to be dying, MMOs certainly do seem to be picking up the pace of news and releases. This week co-hosts Bree and Justin talk about a new expansion announcement, dig into studio finances, and deliver a strongly worded and strangely practiced rant about lockboxes.
It’s the Massively OP Podcast, an action-packed hour of news, tales, opinions, and gamer emails! And remember, if you’d like to send in your own letter to the show, use the “Tips” button in the top-right corner of the site to do so.
