Always Online Podcast: New PIONER Details, NARAKA Going F2P, More Overwatch PvE Sadness, And Why Did WildStar Fail? Ep 480

NARAKA: Bladepoint is going F2P but is that the right move and is the 2nd anniversary the right time for the melee battle royale to do so? PIONER drops addition details about the action shooter MMORPG, and Netherlands is still trying to make loot boxes illegal. Then we move to WTF news about Overwatch 2 slow PvE content delivery plan, Ubisoft's next dumb NFT based game, and we'll cap it all off talking about why WildStar failed! All that and more on this week's Always Online!
