753 - 03/28/21 Bobby Blackwolf Show - Sony Closing Stores, Xbox Live Rebrand, Discord Purchase?
- We had a lot of fun with our VHS Gaming Tape bonus stream - if you are subscribed to the VOGNetwork Twitch channel, check out the VOD!
- Sony has (now confirmed) announcing the closure of the PS3, PSP, and Vita digital storefronts this summer. Since this was recorded, we learned that they are NOT closing down the ability to redownload existing purchases.
- Microsoft is rebranding Xbox Live to just the Xbox Network, further cementing their desire for an Xbox ecosystem rather than just a console.
- Microsoft is the current primary suitor for chat app Discord - what does this mean for the future of Discord communities if it happens?
- Then we talk to OLR about Sony's backwards compatibility and the future of Discord.

Gran turismo and racing game genre supposed to show off the consoles graphic capabilities (without much enhancement in gameplay) so I can see why Ryan made that comparison.
Having gone back to play some ps1, ps2, ps3 games recently; most games (aside maybe music, jrpg genre) didn't age well in terms of gameplay. Especially the 3D action adventure platfomers genre
Hope sony thought ahead and made the current storefront on PS5 forwards compatible
