Manage episode 430908812 series 3262288
In the latest episode of the M2 Podcast, we delve into Microsoft's controversial Xbox Game Pass changes, exploring the FTC's strong response to the new "degraded" Standard tier and price hikes. We also discuss 8BitDo's unique metal-infused SN30 Pro gamepad, Blue Scarab Entertainment's ambitious MMORPG project, and the wave of unionization sweeping Blizzard and Bethesda game studios. With over 500 World of Warcraft developers and nearly 250 Bethesda staff forming unions, we analyze what this means for the future of game development and worker rights in the industry.
