Episode 191: Can't Say Just Yet

Author: Matt Storm and Gen Moonen June 6, 2025 Duration: 41:23

Matt & Geoff had the opportunity to preview Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake at PAX East this year, and share their impressions.

However, they were not able to share anything until after an embargo date. This continues into a discussion about why a game might set a press embargo, and when discussions matter for a game's reputation.
