Episode 591 Early Access:

Jake's sick, Raz is recovered, and karma is real — so we kept it loose and answered your questions from the Discord this week.

We get into whether Apex hitting all-time-high player counts means anything for a Warzone comeback (short version: Warzone is the abusive ex who shows up with roses), the best life advice we've ever gotten, our very first jobs, when a game stops being a game and becomes a simulator (Tarkov vs. Squad vs. Hell Let Loose), and whether we'd ever touch a new Infinity Ward Call of Duty again.

Plus: a new development on splitting donations, the DMZ deep-dive over on Patreon, and a behind-the-scenes look at how the show actually gets made now.

Got a question for us? Join the Discord (linked everywhere) and drop it in the Q&A channel. We may or may not answer it.

Jake's the optimist, Raz is the cynic — guess which one of us thinks Warzone could still be saved.
