Dropped Frames Episode 456

Highguard released this week to extreme criticism, is it warranted, is there a good game there? The breaking news this week, however, is the sudden mass layoff and shuttering of Ashes of Creation studio Intrepid. Is this a uniquely bad situation or is it another failure in a long list of MMOs failing? Cohh officially announced the game he's working on: Emberville and we get some more info about his and his team's project. Nioh 3 expands into an open world, Cairn is great and more!
