Support Team – Episode 352

In this episode, I started with updates from Activision Blizzard lawsuits. After that, I went into some ongoing unionization efforts. A big part of this episode highlights ways to support people who are involved in making video games (or who play them). We could all use a support team! I also bring you up to date on some interesting Diablo content.
