What on earth is the Out-Cast? Well, this was a series of podcasts I did back in 2010~2012 on videogames and videogame culture in Japan for an old website with a completely different crew. I'm republishing them here on DecultureShock, but for anyone who is interested, the original website can be found here. http://www.decultureshock.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/The-Out-Cast-ep06.mp3 This is the sixth episode of the Out-Cast. In this episode, we talk about the the supposed "death" of the Japanese gaming industry and the recent evolution of the Japanese gaming market here in Japan.
