G'day and welcome to The EarlyGame Podcast, where each and every week, we sit down, walk you through the week's Video Game news, help make sense of the industry, and have a hell of a great time. On The EarlyGame Podcast, you can expect some games, some drinks, some hot-takes, a pompous li'l Brit and an insanely irritating Aussie. It's going to be a whole lot of fun, and now that Episode 1's out of the way, it's time for Episode 2: Halo Infinite's Battle Royale Plans & The Activision-Blizzard Lawsuit.
As you can probably tell from the authorship of this-here article, I'm Evan. I also co-host The EarlyGame Podcast. You have to understand, though, that as fabulous and sexy as I am, The EarlyGame Podcast is (actually) not a one-man show (well... not yet, at least!). Thus, I am obliged to say the following: Jon Ramuz and I would like to welcome you to The EarlyGame Podcast.
So, look. It's time for the second episode of The EarlyGame Podcast, and this time, we got a little more serious – simply due to the nature of today's primary topic! As grim as the whole Activision-Blizzard situation is, though, you can still look forward to some curious hot-takes on a variety of other issues, a couple of beers, and not one but two lame-ass games straight from the child-like imagination of Jon's brain. You can check it out on Spotify, and all major Podcast Platforms except Apple Podcast. The EarlyGame Podcast is soon to be on Apple Podcasts, and we will be expanding over the coming weeks so that no matter who you are and what platform you have access to, we'll be available for your listening pleasures. Keep your eye out for many future announcements! Anyway, here's the second episode...
Welcome to The EarlyGame Podcast Ep. 2: Halo Infinite's BR Plans & The Activision-Blizzard Lawsuit
In our second episode of The EarlyGame Podcast, we talk about Halo Infinite's Battle-Royale plans, nerd out over the Lord of the Rings Amazon Show, get confuzzled over Ariana Grande's Fortnite Concert, talk about Ghost of Tsushima: Iki Island, and get hella excited about Battlefield 2042's new Portal Mode. We also talk at length about the Activision Blizzard Sex Discrimination and Harassment lawsuit, take a look at what has been alleged, and break down what we think will happen moving forward. As usual, there are a few little surprises for you along the way, for those of you who love nerdy stuff.
Disclaimer: Please keep in mind that the themes and topics discussed in this particular episode are, in the case of the Activision-Blizzard Lawsuit, quite disturbing and uncomfortable. We would not recommend listening to this episode if you are under the age of 18, or are concerned that you will find the topics discussed triggering.
