The Unlockables: The Story of Video Games

Welcome back to episode 4 of the Unlockables Podcast. This episode is going to be a bit more somber, so if you were to pass it up I would understand. But I wanted to take a minute to highlight the ongoing tragedy in Ukraine and discuss a fantastic piece that Polygon did highlighting some of the game developers in that country and the incredible things they are doing to support the ongoing efforts there. Thanks as always for listening.
