Episode 26 - Day of the Devs & Retro Game Collecting
Manage episode 473020835 series 3622361
This week was packed with news: there's an update on the Scopely-Pokémon GO purchase, Ubisoft has a team of lawyers ready to deter toxic gamers, and Life is Strange: Double Exposure wins an award… but nobody is there to claim it?!
Plus, Day of the Devs just had an event in San Francisco and there were some very exciting queer indie games shown off!
In the second half of the episode, I’m joined by my friend Shivani to talk about collecting retro video games, the importance of physical media, and Queer Game of the Week!
I also just want to apologize if I seem a bit more scattered than usual, it’s been a busy month for me and I think the exhaustion is catching up a bit.
