Episode 550: Kowtowing to ChinaEpisode 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

Let us know what you think.

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.
