Ep. 391 - $500 League of Legends Skins, CoD Coming To GamePass, Sony Screw Bungie With Leaks

·1 hr 18 min·5 clips

Riot Games is charging $500 for a Faker Hall of Fame skin, sparking a debate about esports monetization.

The episode opens with hosts Papa Dom and Tiggy introducing the week's top gaming news. They first detail Sony's accidental leak of Destiny 2's Final Shape expansion, where PS5 users could access up to five hours of gameplay early via Sony's game streaming service, potentially spoiling the campaign and raid. The hosts discuss the impact on Bungie, the community, and compare it to past spoiler incidents like Halo 3 and Harry Potter. The conversation then shifts to Riot Games' announcement of a $500 Hall of Fame skin bundle for League of Legends legend Faker. They break down what the bundle includes, the cheaper $20 base skin option, and debate whether such a high price for a digital item is justified, comparing it to expensive physical sports memorabilia like Jordans. FlyQuest's Pokémon joins the call to argue against the skin's value due to its non-tradable nature. Later, they briefly mention Black Ops 6 coming to Game Pass and rumors about its campaign featuring Saddam Hussein. The hosts also share personal updates: Tiggy discusses moving, playing League in Bronze, and an upcoming half-marathon; Dom talks about his son's illness canceling a Florida trip. The episode includes a voicemail segment about D&D and Call of Duty zombies, and ends with plugs for social media and cosplay red carpet videos.
