One again, the episode gets a little political as it deals with the GamerGate controversy again. No Gaming Flashback or Gaming History, but plenty of annoyed podcasters. As a side note, there will be no podcast for the next two weeks as Paul will be on a trip. However, there will be a new podcaster when the show starts up again.
This week’s news includes:
- Sarkeesian cancels Utah State presentation following threats of shooting
- Former GamerGate member explains his departure
- Unreal, BioShock dev Digital Extremes sold to Chinese companies
- Games driving “nearly all” Google Play’s revenue growth in US
- Mobile spending driven by 35-44-year-olds
All this plus Listener Feedback.

Otherwise, this week’s news items include:
- Assassin’s Creed series will have end, assures Ubisoft
- EverQuest Next gameplay revealed, accepting beta registration
- Blizzard confirms Project Titan overhaul, “unlikely to be subscription-based”
- EA claims freedom of speech in NCAA lawsuit appeal, court rejects it
- Region-based factions will be in The Crew

This week’s episode has some bad audio thanks to a quick replacement mic being used to record the episode, causing a hiss. This is probably the reason the show is short-ish, coming in well under an hour.
This week’s episode includes the following news:
- Miyazaki gives clear answers on the future of Dark Souls, Armored Core
- Sony exec criticizes Hello Games’ marketing for No Man’s Sky
- Blizzard is moving away from the ‘Battle.net’ name
- Pokémon chief says Nintendo’s NX is both handheld and console, you should totally look into how tiktok marketing works, see here for more
All this and Listener Feedback. This week’s Question of the Week: “What is or was your favorite handheld console game (not mobile)?”
