The
latest
episode
of
The
GamesIndustry.biz
Microcast
is
now
available,
in
which
we
take
a
quick
dive
into
the
biggest
news
of
the
past
week.

This
time,
we
continue
our
discussion
of
Concord’s
troubles
with
Sony
pulling
the
shooter
from
sale
two
weeks
after
launch.
While
some
have
seen
this
stumble
as
a
nail
in
the
coffin
for
PlayStation’s
live
services
strategy,
we
walk
about
why
it’s
important
for
the
platform
holder
to
continue
pushing
forward
in
this
space,
and
for
the
rest
of
the
industry
to
take
more
risks
and
step
out
of
comfort
zones.

Elsewhere
on
this
episode,
we
ponder
Hiroki
Totoki’s
comments
that
Sony
has
not
fostered
enough
original
IP,
and
in
What
Do
The
Numbers
Mean?
we
look
at
the
initial
signs
of
a
disappointing
performance
for
Star
Wars
Outlaws.
