Blizzcon 2019 - Episode 53

Blizzcon 2019 came and went last week with some semi-exciting announcements for Diablo 4 & Overwatch 2, but more importantly, was how Blizzard would present themselves to the public amidst the backlash from banning a Hearthstone player weeks before. Dylan, Ashley and Ciaran discuss what Blizzard did and did-not-do and also how games media should talk about and report on these events.
