This week's podcast seemed to inadvertently focus quite a lot on PlayStation. There’s also enough news in the gaming sphere to fill an entire episode on diversity issues within the industry, and with episode 105 we try to capture both within our podcast timeframe. From the weird character diversity tool from Activision Blizzard, Fifa making their own games, computer viruses on Roblox and the PlayStation lineup reveal for their premium service, it’s a packed week. We talk all that and more on this week’s episode, come have a listen.
