E48: Unblizz Working Environment


Listen Later

After a break last week, this episode will be (sort of) a recap of two weeks. Week 29 and 30. And sadly it's not a good week for gaming.

Activision Blizzard has gotten a lot of fire lately and that's not weird! Toxic working environment, sexist and rotten people in charge has really put the spotlight on Activision Blizzard. So we do a complete recap of the whole case and have some thoughts about it. Sometimes it's not good to be on top for a while. People may get a god complex.
Dead Space Remake has more details. A full remake of the first original Dead Space game. And it sounds pretty good. Maybe somebody should man up and actually play a horror game for once.
PS5 gets system improvments that it should got from the start. But hey, you gotta start somewhere right?
And Emil talks about his stressful experience when he was reserving the SteamDeck (SteamPal?). It doesn't matter how prepared you are, sometimes things don't work out.
Thank you and we hope you like this episode! Cheerio!
