Welcome back to The MinnMax Show! On this big episode, Ben Hanson, Leo Vader, Kyle Hilliard, and Janet Garcia recap and debate Microsoft's Official Xbox podcast that addressed the rumors that Xbox was going third-party and abandoning exclusives forever and they talk about what it means for the future of the platform. Then we gush over Sony's Helldivers 2 and why it succeeds as a co-op game before talking about Foamstars and Helskate. After that, Kelsey Lewin, Charles Harte, and Elise Favis join the show to finally talk about Persona 3 Reload and a ton of other stuff like Mario vs. Donkey Kong and the Apple Vision Pro. Then we answer questions submitted on Patreon by the community and award the iam8bit question of the week! You can win a prize and help make the show better by supporting us on Patreon and leaving a question! https://www.patreon.com/minnmax
