This episode has some audio issues due to circumstances requiring Jonah to tape from outside in the NYC streets. Otherwise, this week’s news is Poke-mazing as some major issues hit the video game world this past week.
The news includes:
- Valve’s Counter-Strike illegal gambling controversy continues
- Red Dead Redemption sales jump 6000% after Xbox One backwards compatibility announcement
- Pokémon Go raises security concerns among Google users
This is the contest’s last week. The Question of the Week is “How much is too much data to share with a game company?”
If you’re in the New York area, you’ll have a chance to meet CEO Mike Morhaime and executive VP of product development Frank Pearce. They’ll be a New York Best Buy signing copies of the title if you’re lucky to be in the area and plan to go out at midnight to get it. We’re not that lucky, but we’re also not standing in line this year for an event.
I read that Russia will ban Pokemon GO.
Can’t wait for Civ 6. I’d love to win the bundle that includes the Civ 6 pen.
