We Need To Talk About Microsoft

October 17, 2024

This week Dermie and Jason analyse the week's big gaming news including why you should be watching CrackerMilk, PAX Aus, the modern retro game scene, the current Palworld situation, Nintendo making alarm clocks, Steam Deck officially coming to Australia, videogame media being racist against Black Myth Wukong again, the AAA industry's jump to Unreal Engine, a new Halo studio, and Dermie asks what the hell Microsoft is actually doing these days.

 

[Please note that when talking about the lengths of contracts at Microsoft, Dermie thought he was a high profile streamer and got the numbers 10 and 18 mixed up.]
