For our final full episode of the year, we’re catching up on The Game Awards, the latest union busting efforts from ActivisionBlizzard, Bungie’s own culture problems, Battlefield 2042’s ongoing issues, a Splinter Cell remake, and Sony’s answer to Game Pass (kind of).
We’re skipping These Past Two Weeks in Nerddom because of the two spoilercasts we’ve got headed your way before the end of the year. However, we’ve played a ton of games recently that we haven’t talked about yet for The Homescreen, including Forza Horizon 5, Halo Infinite, It Takes Two, Rider’s Republic, Guardians of the Galaxy, Ghost of Tsushima: Iki Island, and Deathloop.
Thank you so much for listening! Hopefully next year sucks way less. As always, we really appreciate the support. Make sure to give us a rating and review, follow us on Twitter, Discord, or Instagram, support us on Patreon, and tell your gamer friends about the show! We’ll catch you back here soon with our 2021 Games of the Year!
