2024 Predictions
The DLC video game podcast is a weekly show hosted by Jeff Cannata and Christian Spicer. They cover gaming news, new releases, and have a guest on each week to share other perspectives. At the beginning of each year, the two hosts go over their major predictions in gaming for the coming year.
Starting in 2024 they invited their friend & third chair of DLC Lana Bachynski to join them in their predictions extravaganza. They pick a number of Bold predictions. Which are their maybe unlikely predictions, but still possible. And then they really go bananas with their Cool Ranch predictions. Which are completely off the wall predictions of what will happen in the coming year. Some might even say they've gone too far. In these episodes they also review their past predictions to determine if they were core-rect or if they got rekt.
This is a fan made, non-affiliated site displaying their current predictions, past predictions, and fun stats since they started doing these predictions in 2015.
