Hot Takes And Cool Pops – Episode 424
Manage episode 375367070 series 1064424
In this episode, I talked about Xbox and “8 Strikes”, Microsoft and the CMA and the EU figuring things out. Hot takes include an opinion about Season 1 launched so soon, The Hollywood Reporter talking about celebrities hyping Diablo IV, and Forbes with an article from a gamer who just gave up.
In Blizzard news, Diablo III PTR 2.7.6 is now live. This was covered by Facefoot on Maxroll. IGN noted a new Solo Self Found mode in Diablo III. In Diablo IV news, I highly recommend you watch Wudujo’s video about what’s not working well in Diablo IV.
