Hey everyone! There are a couple of video game controversies going around right now so we decided to have an episode where we highlight them as well as look back at the top 5 video game controversies in the industry's history. We talk about Blizzard and HK, Pokemon's latest entry leaving out old Pokemon, as well as some previous controversies and how they stack up looking back at them. 

We recommend this episode for anyone that is interested in the different quirks of the industry or that has an opinion about these controversies or previous ones. 

What are some of your most memorable controversies? How do they look now? What did we miss in our discussion? Let us know!

Brief note-- this was recorded before Blizzcon and before Fallout76 had their latest update to their controversy...
