Hello!

May is only just barely over, so let's get working on the May Patroncast, and hopefully restore a semblance of order to the naming protocol...

Just in case you're new, this submission thread is where you get to ask questions, suggest topics, or point out your favourite XCOM 2 fact that I've completely missed thus far.

So ask away, and I'll update this post when the Patroncast is recorded, so as long as there isn't an edit below saying that, everything should be good :)

EDIT - The Patroncast has now been recorded, so further questions cannot be included.

All the best,

Jon

Hi Jon, I got several years behind on the Patroncast, and decided to take up jogging while listening, and just finished catching up. Thanks for helping me get into better shape. In honor of that, here's a fuck/marry/kill for things you've said on the Patroncast: -The time you said you were looking forward to Redfall -The time you expressed optimism that they were remaking XIII -The time you said, in February 2020, that you thought COVID was contained and wouldn't be a big deal

Hi Jon, My favourite recent XCOM 2 fact that I've learned, is that a significant number of actors from Star Trek TNG did voice work on War of the Chosen. Jonathan Frakes, Marina Sirtis, John de Lancie to name a few. And of course the Advent speaker is voiced by Brandon Keener, the VA for Garrus in Mass Effect. Speaking of VA's who is one of your favourite VA's in gaming? and who surprised you the most to learn that they did voice work for a game?

Jon why are you so lucky in Xcom? In your first mission if you hadn't finished the mission that turn the truck would have exploded next turn killing Jon, Ted, and failing the mission because the objective got destroyed. More serious question. Jon you used to work in marketing. What are your thoughts on the marketing teams of major corporations calling their customers racist for not enjoying their projects? To me it seams like an obviously bad idea to call your customers racist and then expect them to give you their money. I've never worked in marketing so maybe this is some sort of high level 10,000 IQ marketing move that's way above my head.

I'll answer this here, as it's probably a controversial take for somebody - in short, it's most definitely a high-risk strategy. Like, there are 100% instances where a piece of media gets unfairly treated due to sexism, racism, etc - we see incredibly dumb review-bombing occurring in gaming on occasion. It is possible there are scenarios that calling it out might represent a decent volume of good PR, but it's always going to be risky.
