The Player’s Club Podcast Episode 28: Does “The New E3” Kinda Suck?

What’s Up, Playa? Kept ya waitin, huh?

That’s right! We back from hiatus, thanks to some PC repairs, and Emmett Watkins Jr and Allan Muir are here to once again talk through some gaming news, even if it’s a month old.

In this episode, we address the reckoning happening withing the games industry around abusive behavior from men at companies like Ubisoft. We also discuss “The New E3”, which is also known as the never-ending stream of individual gaming reveal events with no real order or structure. We discuss the positives and negatives of this new format and whether or not we prefer the old way of doing things: having one big week where everyone announces everything.

But before that, we start with the What We’re Playing segment, where Emmett talks about his time with The Last of Us Part II and Slay the Spire, and Al talks about his time with SpongeBob SquarePants Battle for Bikini Bottom: Rehydrated and Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II.
