Really enjoyed listening to this HotSpot; I have fond memories of 2006-7 era GameSpot before Jeff was fired; I was on the moderation team from 2008 until 2014. The amount of content GameSpot was pumping out back then was frankly insane.
I can confirm that ALL large corporations suffer from the exact same problems described in the episode.
It might not be as broken as Fallout 76 but this is a truly abysmal launch for such a tentpole game, and especially one that has had such a lengthy development. I don't doubt by summer next year it'll be mostly fixed but that doesn't forgive the state it is in right now.
I literally can't believe I missed this 6 months ago, The HotSpot was reborn! The HotSpot was the first podcast I really got into, Rich Gallup was such a great host. Those were the days. And starting back up from Episode 360 I just love. Long live the HotSpot!
That bit around 14 mins where Alex picks up an armour upgrade and pans the camera right past a girl bleeding to death.
I think they missed the conversation it's possible to have with Donnelly and Daniels on the Citadel where they thank Shepard for releasing them from Alliance arrest.
