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?”
Electronic Arts has announced SimAnimals, a game where you play the godlike hand and control the lifestyle of over 60 animals. In the game you’ll play the role of a disembodied hand which moves around and life animals, pick flowers and interact with the environment much like a past Lionhead Studios game: Black and White.
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.
