What's Up, Playa? Welcome back to another episode of The Player’s Club Podcast! This time, Emmett Watkins Jr decided to ride solo, just because, so hopefully this episode is still pretty good (of course, let him know if it ain’t!). In this episode, I react to the announcements from both EA Play Live from a few days ago and Annapurna Interactive’s first-ever showcase. There weren’t many surprises, but there is plenty of good stuff to get excited about, so let’s dig in!

The Player's Club Podcast Ep 63: The Hype of the Steam Deck and the Disappointment of the Activision Blizzard Lawsuit
What’s Up, Playa? Welcome back to another episode of The Player’s Club Podcast! We took a break, but this time Emmett Watkins Jr and Allan Muir are back to tackle too big topics. At the top of the show, we talk about the lawsuit that Activision Blizzard is currently facing and then later speculate and get hype over the existence of Valve’s Steam Deck. We’re on absolute opposite sides of the emotional spectrum today, but I know y’all understand. But that’s not all! We also take about plenty of games in the Whatcha Playin segment, where Emmett talks about his time with Arcadegeddon, Nickelodeon Kart Racers, and RE Village while Al talks about his time with Pokemon Let’s Go Pikachu, The Simpsons Game, and Last Stop.

Janet Garcia on Twitter: "It's a cruel joke that women in the games industry are the most likely to be accused of not being passionate enough when they literally love an industry that does not love them back. I'm media, not a dev, but there are many days where I wish I could love something else." StefanieGD💀 on Twitter: "I would love nothing more than to just make video games as a woman without the sense of dread of knowing the industry I've dedicated my life to is a fucking crime scene" @Teanah: The only thing that really makes me feel useful these days is to help other women and minorities stay in this industry. If you need to chat I am available, even if it’s just to privately listen. Katiechu on Twitter: "This Activision-Blizzard lawsuit should not be remotely surprising if you've ACTUALLY been listening to women & black women the last few years." Zaire on Twitter: "The part of the Activision article involving Black women's treatment really bothered me. So, I'm publishing this article early about Black people in the TLOU franchise. It's no secret I love TLOU. Hell, I've applied three times as a writer. 1/x" Activision Blizzard's sexual harassment lawsuit. Check out YouTube Channel here! Follow us on Twitter @VGU_TV!
