4.6 out of 5 stars from 66 ratings
  • Has become an extended advertisement

    Used to be good and would cover a fair amount tech related news across the spectrum.

    However in recent months the podcast has become an extended advert for Stardock and concentrates on Xbox related news, both of which are limited in appeal.

Q: Do you see this becoming more of a trend? What does Microsoft need to change to prevent bad updates from reoccurring?
