On this episode of the Downloadable Gaming Podcast, we talk about how the console wars is officially dead and how the whole Tfue and FaZe issue shines a light on bad contracts in sports. 

The console wars has always been the biggest war between Playstation, Xbox, and Nintendo products. The years have seen great battles such as the PS3, Xbox 360, and the Wii. But throughout the past few years the focus of these console makers has gone from directly competing with one another to revolutionizing how we play games in a way that their competition is not going in. This on top of the recent partnership between Sony and Microsoft has shown us that the console wars has died and a new competition has taken over.

Tfue suing FaZe for a predatory contract shines a light on how bad first year contracts are. This is an issue that happens in all sports and now we see it in eSports. This contract that Tfue is suing FaZe over is the definition of predatory and is something that takes advantage of a young player.
