Escape Will Make Me Pod

Show Notes

Marathon season 3 is off to a bit of a slow start ... unless we're talking about the loot economy, which has ballooned wildly, flooding the economy with gold items. This week, the boys discuss the new Vandal cinematic and their hopes for how Bungie might avoid these economy issues in the future.
