Joe State is back on the air with the Gamers In Beta crew for Episode 130. The fellas always look forward to hearing what Joe has been up to and this episode is no different. As usual, there is lots of talk around what comics he’s been reading, shows he’s be watching, and of course Mike and Joe have to bring it old school and talk a little punk rock and hardcore.
Gaming wise, the panel discusses The Game Awards, PlayStation Experience ’15, a little Fallout 4, Rainbow Six Siege, Tales from the Borderlands, and the upcoming releases for this week.
"Rainbow Six Siege Major Manchester event was a showcase of Siege play and underdog spirit - with a few boos, some boozy chanting and a sweaty atmosphere."

The new monthly paid subscription for Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege has sparked an outrage among the game's community.
Paid subs are coming, and every company is investing heavily in them. From Microtransactions to this type of stuff, the community has been vocal about the issues surrounding ripping customers off, but we are being let down by influencers and journalists in trying to fight off these abhorrent business practices. Influencers and journalists don't say enough about how bad this stuff is. Meanwhile th soft buyers in the general public are getting more outraged by the day and whales are being exploited to pay too much of their own money for pointless crap.
A paid sub is partly why I think Xbox can throw Black Ops 6 on to Gamepass day-and-date and still think of it as "good business."
It's going to cost you and I more money and we will have less opportunities to play the games we want to play, as well as purchasing games we want to purchase.
'Kay?????
Because studios are aiming to have this as a mandatory thing. They want people to pay monthly for their experiences, like what you do for Netflix. They don't want single time purchases.
So says a friend of mine who's heard their execs say it for real. And they iterated that EVERYONE wants it.
Stop being stubborn.
Wait, so you made some hypothetical scenario up and just got mad about it? This is unhealthy.
So PC gaming kills subscriptions model, now they want to bring it back along with season passes, MT, dlc and whatever else they can think of. 🙄
What do you mean PC gaming kills subscriptions? PC gaming is what started gaming subscriptions in the first place.
Rainbow Six Siege Year 9 Season 2 Operation New Blood sees the Recruit rework, the introduction of R6 Membership and more.
