Deck-Nine Toxic Studio Culture Revealed, Microsoft plan Gears and Call of Duty updates and Xbox preservation

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast we're getting a bit excited for episode 250 and talk all about the weeks gaming news whilst derailing the entire podcast to talk football and Taylor Swift. Because of course it did.We get into the news that Xbox are taking game preservation very seriously by establishing a new team to work on just that. We also get into the unfortunate news that Finger Guns favourite Deck Nine Studio have been accused of a toxic studio environment by developers. We get into this rather horrid story with huge Life is Strange fans talking about their sadness hearing the story.We also get into what the hell we wanna see from Gears of War 6 and the next Call of Duty game as they're due to be revealed very soon. Basically, more guns and better everything. Over at Game of the Week Kat has jumped into her backlog to check out Hades, Josh has carried on his time with Rise of the Ronin. Miles has checked out the demo for Knights in Tight Spaces, the Ground Shatter spin-off to Fights in Tight Spaces and checking out the mellow chill of Spirit City: Lofi Sessions.
