Hey Gamer Friends! This episode we're "Logging On" with the releases of Sniper Elite 5, Roller Champions, Industria, Mario Strikers: Battle League, The Quarry, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge. We also cover the successful unionization of Raven QA at Activision Blizzard King, making them the first game workers union in the United States! We also somehow ended up in an E3 season without E3, including the Summer Games Fest, Sony's most recent State of Play, the Microsoft/Bethesda Showcase, and Devolver Digital's annual meta-commentary soap opera. There are literally too many games to list, so we won't!
Due to the sheer number of announcements and trailers, we're pushing our usual Nerddom and Homescreen segments to the next episode, our 100th full-length episode!
Thank you so much for listening! As always, we really appreciate the support. Make sure to give us a rating and review, follow us on Twitter, Discord, or Instagram, support us on Patreon, and tell your gamer friends about the show! We’ll catch you back here soon.
Support Gamer Friends- Microsoft Agrees to Labor Neutrality Agreement with CWA — "The deal between Microsoft and the CWA says employees should easily exercise their right to communicate with other employees and other union representatives about organizing, have a streamlined process for choosing to join a union and keep their decision private if they wish. Finally, the agreement states that if the CWA and Microsoft disagree, they will work together to reach consensus and failing that, turn to an arbitration process."
