SNGP 69 - Ten Years of BioShock Infinite: A Complex Legacy

Nice.  While getting too emotional and character introductions in Street Fighter 6 and Tekken 8, David Radd tests the wasteland with nothing but a glorified slingshot in Meet Your Maker and steals faces constantly in Dishonored: Death of the Outsider.  Meanwhile, Tuesday can't stop making Borderlands comparisons to Gunfire Reborn and  makes good on a drunk purchase in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge.  In news, Phil Spencer gives an exasperated interview with Kinda Funny Xcast which maybe he shouldn't have done and David and Tuesday unpack it.  In fiscal news, Nintendo reports that Switch sales were down even from estimates (though metrics were otherwise solid), Sony has the ambitious goal of selling 25 million PS5's this fiscal year and Capcom reports their best sale year in their entire history which raises their stock to all-time highs.  For the topic, David and Tuesday discuss the legacy of BioShock Infinite, from it's troubled development, strong opening, odd twists, controversial ending, unpopular gameplay decisions and politically divisive themes.
