Send us a Text Message.

Welcome to another episode of The Gamerheads Podcast! Joining us this week is part-owner and the communications director of Lvl1 Gaming, Baron J 67. From his humble beginnings as a YouTube content creator, Baron takes us through his exciting journey into the gaming industry. Tune in for a light-hearted discussion where we reminisce about classic games and express our anticipation for upcoming releases.
Then, things take a serious turn as we dissect Unity's controversial decision to implement fees for game downloads. With Baron's expertise, we delve into the complexities of this fee structure and how it relies heavily on Unity's new tier structure. We engage in a heated debate about the potential repercussions this could have on indie game developers and the gaming world at large. Could this move by Unity tip the balance for these developers or even provoke a shift towards physical copies?
As we move towards the end, the mood lightens again as we discuss the latest announcements from Nintendo Direct and PlayStation State of Play. Listen in as we share our top picks, personal reactions, and an ample dose of humor.
So, hit play, get comfortable, and join us in this insightful conversation!
