Remap Radio: Beard Boys Everywhere

About this episode

The episode discusses the latest news in gaming, including Xbox layoffs, GOG's email controversy, and experiences from Summer Game Fest.

Alas, it’s time to say goodbye to another round of trailermania, but in the meantime, there’s so much for Rob, Patrick, Janet, and Chia to discuss. Besides mulling the latest bleak news about the future of Xbox and GOG sending out weird emails, Janet and Patrick were at Summer Game Fest and walked amongst the video games, where there was lots of conversations about the AI alongside hands-on time with games like Alien: Isolation 2, Control Resonant, and more. Reminder: Last year, the pro-Palestinian human rights movement BDS that’s pressuring Israel by promoting boycotts, divestment, and sanctions against the country added Xbox to its boycott list.
