Η συζήτηση περί δημοσιογραφίας στο gaming συνεχίζεται, ενώ, όπως υποσχεθήκαμε την περασμένη φορά, παίρνει σειρά και το θέμα του τελευταίου κύμματος metoo που άγγιξε το gaming. Παίρνουμε μια γεύση για το πώς βοηθά τις πωλήσεις ενός μικρού τίτλου το Xbox Games Pass, ενώ μαθαίνουμε ότι έρχεται τηλεοπτικό Fallout και τηλεοπτικό My Friend Pedro.

Η βιομηχανία προσπαθεί να διαχειριστεί το βαρύ κλίμα που δημιούργησαν οι εξελίξεις στις ΗΠΑ, την ώρα που η Tencent χρεώνεται εξαγορά που δεν έκανε καν και η NetEase ανοίγει studio στην Ιαπωνία. Η Paradox Interactive αλλάζει σελίδα τη σχέση της με το συνδικαλισμό, η Ubisoft επιμένει ότι το νέο Trackmania δεν είναι συνδρομητικό, η Konami ξαναμπαίνει, ήρεμα ήρεμα, στο «παιχνίδι» και η SEGA κλείνει 60 χρόνια με κάτι… τρέλες. Η έρευνα State Of Play για την αμερικανική αγορά θέτει σε αμφισβήτηση παραδοσιακές αντιλήψεις για τους gamers.

Αναπάντεχα πολύ NBA στο πασχαλινό επεισόδιο, χωρίς να χάνεται η κανονικότητα. Τα οικονομικά της Paradox Interactive έκρυβαν εκπλήξεις, η Riot ανοίγει μεγάλη κουβέντα προσπαθώντας να αντιμετωπίσει το cheating, ο κόσμος αναρωτιέται πόσα PS5 θα «πέσουν» αρχικά στην αγορά, καθώς Ηλίας και Μάνος αναρωτιούνται τι νόημα θα είχε το φημολογούμενο remake του Resident Evil 4. Εν τω μεταξύ PEGI και ESRB πρσαρμόζονται στην πραγματικότητα των loot boxes.
