We kick things off with a deep dive into what separates different Nordic countries with regional experts Phillip Black and Mishka Katkoff.
Next, we tackle Squad Busters’ ambitious new update. Will it be enough to reverse its decline, or is it too little, too late?
Then, there will be chaos in the streaming world as Netflix Games gets GTAd! What went down, and what does it mean for the company’s gaming ambitions? Only Kress can give it to us.
Finally, Jen takes us through the Game Awards (aka. the Jeff Keighley Awards) — the wins, the snubs, and what it all means for the industry.
Hosts: Mishka Katkoff, Eric Kress, Jen Donahoe, and Phillip Black.
