Episode 82 - Should The SAG-AFTRA Strike Matter To Gamers?
Manage episode 371850446 series 3299449
Both the Writers Guild of America and the Screen Actors Guild - American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) are currently on strike. The strike effectively puts a stop to most film and TV production in the US, and it doesn’t seem like it’ll be letting up anytime soon. But this is just a Hollywood problem, right? Not quite. We discuss the issues at the core of the strike and why gamers should be very much concerned with how these points play out.
We'll also be talking about Microsoft’s new Xbox Game Pass Core that will replace Xbox Live Gold in September, how streamers are calling Twitch's Partner Plus program "anti-community", and the new regulation in the European Union that means handheld gaming consoles will soon require replaceable batteries.
Finally, class is in session with Professor Ryebread in our Gaming History 101 segment. In this episode, we're looking at the history of video game retail chains.
