This week on VGS….

What marks the difference between Plagiarism and Homage? In the land of video games it’s known as “Influenced by” at what point does the barometer cross from respecting the great work of geniuses before you, and straight up jacking their vision? Nioh is such a title, where does it fall on this line?

………….NEWS OF THE WEEK……….
A recent Kotaku story shined a light on the somewhat dubious business practices of some EB Games managers. Allegedly, customer service reps are pushed to sell equal amounts of used games as they do for each new game available. Shady business practices or just what needs to be done to beat the behemoth of Steam?
..................FEATURE INTERVIEW..........
As we barrel into an unknown Galaxy of Andromeda, it’s nice to look back into the world of Mass Effect and figure out why we fell so deeply in love to being with.

About Video Game Sophistry:
Video Game Sophistry is an opportunity to celebrate the creators and the artistry found in Video Games. I believe that Games are the most effective medium from experiencing another world, and another way to live. Expect to see a series of videos showcasing the narratives hidden in every game, interviews with game developers, along with our bench mark weekly podcast, Dialogue Wheel. 

Andy Borkowski started this program nearly 10 years ago and, in that time, it has changed from a simple YouTube show, to a radio show, a tv show and now once again a YouTube destination. Welcome to VGS.
