This week’s episode is abbreviated due to Paul’s move to California, and various Halloween delays. That’s not to say there’s no great stuff in the show, as there are some big debates about privacy and bugs.
The news this week includes:
- Electronic Arts insists that Origin is not spyware
- Rumor: Grand Theft Auto V to be download only?
- Dev: Sword of the Stars II is a “turnip“
All that, and Paul feels older thanks to the Reader Feedback.
