In this episode, I talked about Microsoft allowing Nintendo access to Call of Duty. The U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) doesn’t want Microsoft to acquire Activision Blizzard. Diablo IV workers are very likely to face “crunch” to get the game released. Several gaming news sources wrote about how happy they are with Diablo IV. Diablo has been harassing brands on Twitter.
