Sacred Symbols+, Episode 455 | The Myth of the Modern Audience with Marek Tyminski

Please welcome CI Games' founder and CEO Marek Tyminski to Sacred Symbols+. If you've not heard of CI Games before, they're a two decade-plus veteran studio headquartered out of Poland, with a workforce dispersed throughout Europe. Though they're perhaps best-known by many for their long-running Sniper: Ghost Warrior franchise, it's their popular action-RPG Lords of the Fallen that brought Marek himself to my (Colin's) attention. In an industry consumed by culture warring, CI Games has instea...

Sacred Symbols, Episode 359 | Such A Beautiful Lie to Believe In

PlayStation is booming, at least depending on how you look at things. On the one hand, Sony's annual financial results are incredibly strong: PlayStation drove more revenue last year than any gaming entity ever has in the entire history of the industry. Meanwhile, PS5 will surpass 80 million units sold soon, and has become the default console for most players this generation. But there's a downside; indeed, Sony is doing all of this damage with one hand tied behind its back, as major exclusiv...

Defining Duke, Episode 228 | DOOM: The Dark Ages Is HERE - Did It Deliver?!

The Dukes get ready to rip and tear through another set of video games news and releases! Joining us is honorary Duke, Gene Park, to talk about the latest game out of iD Software in DOOM: The Dark Ages. It's the third entry in iD's modern reboot of the franchise and, as always, they've taken a new approach to things. DOOM: The Dark Ages places a shield in your hands and asks you to "stand and fight." How does this feel in comparison to DOOM Eternal's lightning fast combat or the more delibera...

Sacred Symbols+, Episode 454 | Remembering 10 Random PlayStation Games Shuhei Yoshida Greenlit... with Shuhei Yoshida!

It's me, Colin. Please welcome legendary producer, executive, and BAFTA fellow Shuhei Yoshida back to the show. As you may recall, Shu was just on Sacred+ not too long ago (Episode 437, to be exact), where we had an awesome two hour conversation about his career, the games industry, PlayStation, and so much more. Our talk went so great that I quickly approached Shu with a different, more novel idea. Rightly assuming that interviewers were starting to ask him redundant questions and chasing id...

As we make our way into the back-end of The Last of Us' seven episode second season on HBO, the action begins to ratchet up. As Ellie and Dina sneak through WLF-occupied Seattle, the Wolves fight their own war with the religious cult called The Seraphites. Meanwhile, Ellie's pursuit of Abby brings her ever-so-closer to her target, as she catches up with Nora, whose actor has a very special connection to Naughty Dog's next game. How do we feel things are shaping up? Where do we think everythin...

Will I (Colin) proceed forward with this new Moriarty x Hoeg branding? Hell if I know, but it feels right in the present. On that note, please welcome regular LSM contributor, lawyer, and friend Rick Hoeg back to Sacred+ for yet another foray into the legal and business happenings of our beloved industry. Today, Rick and I focus on three ongoing disputes, with the first by far being the most important. Epic and Apple have been involved in a years-long legal tussle that has recently reignited ...

Sacred Symbols, Episode 358 | Like the MAC Got a EZ Pass

Grand Theft Auto VI promises to be the biggest video game (and likely entertainment product, full stop) in history. But unfortunately, it's been delayed. It'll come out just over a year from when this episode publishes, and a brand new trailer indicates it'll launch with all of GTA's essential trappings: Cars, guns, insane characters, a crazy story, and -- of course! -- lots and lots of crime. What are our fresh thoughts on GTA6? And do we think it'll make its new May 2026 release date? There...
