Welcome to the new year of The Bobby Blackwolf Show! The podcast feed has NOT been updated for the past 13 weeks, and I greatly apologize for that. A lot of things got in the way of this particular hobby. There have been episodes, and we will be putting them up in reverse chronological order as time permits. In this episode: We take a look back at the most pirated games of 2009 and discuss what this means about the market. We look forward at a bunch of games that we are looking forward to in 2010. Then we take calls about the coming year and about how whatever we think now will most likely not be the same things that we say at the end of the year.
