This week we discuss how games that aren't live service can keep players engaged for dozens to hundreds of hours, as well as how stories help keep players around long after updates have stopped coming.  

The 001 Radio Gamescast is our weekly podcasts where a group of game developers and artists talk about a variety of different topics, ranging from current news to games and entertainment.  If you'd rather listen to the show on your favorite podcast platform, check out https://anchor.fm/001radio. 001 Radio Gamescast airs on Tuesdays at 7 AM EST, though occasionally episodes may air at different times in the week. Oh, and the show is now recorded live on Sundays at 8 PM EST. Check it out at www.twitch.tv/megamatch!
