Sacred Symbols+, Episode 486 | Accountability Culture (Patreon)

Please welcome friend-of-the-show Jez Corden back to Sacred+. Jez joins me (Colin) from his usual perch at Windows Central and The Xbox Two Podcast for a nearly two hour-long conversation about a variety of topics revolving around the idea of industry accountability. For instance, why haven't Hermen Hulst and Matt Booty been deemed responsible for a staggering number of first party failures and false starts for their respective brands? How come the Xbox c-suite isn't held liable for saying and believing one thing, and then delivering and supporting the polar opposite? Who at Sony will ever answer for the level of inexplicable decision-making that has both a Horizon MMORPG and a Ratchet & Clank multiplayer game skipping their own native hardware? And who's holding a once-aggressively vocal fanbase to account for blindly cheering the undoing of their ecosystem, only to pretend that never happened? We have much to get through! Please enjoy.
