We have a hard conversation on this week’s GoGCast as we discuss the State of California suing Activision-Blizzard for its toxic and discriminatory work culture. The stories coming from current and ex-employees are just as disgusting as the ones we’ve been hearing coming from other studios such as Riot and Ubisoft. Plus, we recap EA Play Live and geek out about the video game music at the Tokyo Olympics.
