Myself, Richard Bailey and host Edward Velasquez return with guests Anthony Frasier and Thomas Chamberlain for another episode of The Co-op Podcast. This week we touched on Edge magazine's rather bold front cover which reads: "Why The Only Option Right Now Is PS4". Is this just fanboy flamebait, or is there actual substance to the message they are putting out?
We also spoke in length about Don Matrick's departure from Microsoft, and why he may have chosen Zynga as his new home. Was Microsoft's decision to change their DRM policies part of the reason for his departure? Or could this move have planned way in advance?

Legendary Pictures CEO Thomas Tull has admitted to the challenges in adapting Blizzard's franchise for the big screen.
Speaking to , Thomas Tull identified the problem in the approach to making films with material sourced from video games.
#146;A lot of times, what has happened in the past is, studios have said, #146;How many people play that game? OK, then that means they#146;ll probably all go out and buy tickets.#146; That is an incredibly poor way to make a movie.#146;
He admitted that there was a lack of experience when it came to approaching the subject of adapting the franchise for the big screen, saying, "So for us, it#146;s that we don#146;t know how to make a movie out of Warcraft, the video game. It#146;s the incredible story, the war, and these races, and everything these guys at Blizzard have come up with."
Blizzard's Warcraft franchise has been in the works for a film adaptation since its announcement at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) of Sam Raimi (Spider-Man, Oz the Great and Powerful).
The Warcraft film is believed to have a budget that exceeds $100 million, and is intended for release in cinemas in 2016.
