Loot Box Labels Are Coming: Will it Matter? - What's Good Games Podcast (Ep. 42)

Published: March 2, 2018, 3:30 p.m.

This week the girls are talking about the new ESRB label intended for loot boxes on video games, and why they shouldn't bother with a label at all. Plus Pokemon turns 22 and doesn't have much to show for it. They go hands-on with more Persona 5, mobile indie Old Man's Journey, and Bayonetta on Switch. Lastly, WGG Patreon Producer Tom Bock asks the team: What games did you stick with far longer than you should have, and what games can you just not get into? Support What’s Good Games on Patreon!
