The 265th podcast will be a little delayed, as it will be recorded on Wednesday, the day the podcast is usually released.
There will be one this week, though, so keep your eye on the iTunes RSS feed.

Blizzard finds itself in hot water as it finds itself having to explain its actions in pleasing the Chinese government, in news that’s still hot and doesn’t look like it’s going to cool down anytime soon.

The news this week includes:
- Blizzard is facing a boycott after removing a Hearthstone Grandmaster
- PlayStation 5 launches Holiday 2020
