Don’t understand half of what’s being said because the host speaks fast and is sloppy with pronunciation. Shame because the content itself seems interesting and insightful
Interesting show about the business of making video games than the games themselves. As an industry watcher, I like this. Has a lot of interesting guests and interviews and talks about the issues of the day in a non-sensationalized way.
Christopher is often rambly though and tends to ask way too drawn out questions in interviews.l.
As the name implies, this is great for those interested in the business of games but know it often takes a very pro business stance on touchy issues as well.
It’s a really fun listen.
Interesting show about the business of making video games, more about the games themselves. As an industry watcher, I like this. Has a lot of interesting industry guests and interviews and talks about the issues of the day in a non-sensationalized way.
Christopher is often rambly though and tends to run over his guests and co-hosts, not letting them get a word in edgewise. He has to work on that.
As the name implies, this is great for those interested in the business of games.
