Sony Coming In Hot – Episode 405

In this episode, I read to you articles about Activision Blizzard surveilling workers doing a walkout. Activision Blizzard is also in trouble regarding eSports. Sony appears to be really cranky about the incoming Activision Blizzard acquisition by Microsoft. Wowhead interviewed two Diablo IV developers. There is a HumbleBundle with books from Blizzard’s games. I also talked a bit about Diablo IV.
