Unfortunately, we don't have the most fun episode in the world today, but an incredibly important episode. As reported by Shinesparkers, and then subsequently followed up on again in a later report, acclaimed Metroid Dread developers MercurySteam have been accused by several former employees of fostering a culture of crunch, exploitation, and horrible working conditions. The guys are going over the report, detailing the allegations, offering their thoughts on why this isn't a bigger story in games media, talking about the human cost of developing video games, and what this means for Metroid going forward.
All this, plus, we give talk about the misinformation around Shigeru Miyamoto's supposed quote about movies outliving games and how that came to be and why your algorithm shows negative news. Come hang out with us, and let's keep the developers at MercurySteam in our thoughts!
