Episode 550: Kowtowing to China

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. It’s enough to overshadow even an official console announcement from Sony. There’s a Gaming Flashback, the embarrassingly bad FMV game Plumbers Don’t Wear Ties.

The news this week includes:

• Blizzard is facing a boycott after removing a Hearthstone Grandmaster
• PlayStation 5 launches Holiday 2020
• Doom Eternal delayed until March 2020, Doom 64 goes multiformat
