Questions from Discord:

Beavis Christ: This is a big one, but that's why we pay you guys the big bucks: What do you think the next console generation will be like? What will the consoles be like? What genres will rise and fall? Or any thoughts you have. (I keep remembering how in either the PS3 or PS4 gen, a bunch of people thought that not only were the end of physical game sales imminent, but so was the end of new consoles, and that if anything there would be essentially newer Pro versions of the same consoles, or add-ons to upgrade your console. Because the Sega 32X did so well I guess lol. So that's kinda what made me think of this)
