About this episode
The episode discusses the impact of Gamergate on gaming journalism and the gaming community, featuring guest Mark from the Quick Play podcast.
How did we get to the place where gaming journalists are openly antagonistic toward the general gaming audience, and regular gamers use "gaming journalist" as a byword? Moreover, how should we, as Christians, react? This week, the boys have brought on Mark from the Quick Play podcast to discuss #Gamergate, why it was a cultural phenomenon, and how it has impacted the gaming landscape today.
