About this listen

Max examines "franchise trap" gaming, where players repeatedly buy derivative sequels. He analyzes why Titanfall 2's superior mechanics get overlooked for annual shooters, how Rocket League can replace stagnant sports games, and why ecosystem lock-in traps players. Using player behavior data, he demonstrates how familiarity beats innovation in purchasing decisions, offering alternatives beyond brand recognition.
