#NuNews: New Zealand is Full of Sheep

from The XboxCast · host TXC_Media

Let's get together and talk to people about stuff we know very little about.    The Activision-Blizzard acquisition is still ongoing, and this week was very newsy. It's now escalated all the way to the US Congress, with politicians even calling the Japanese-US trade deal into dispute because of it. Real newspapers - like the Finacial Times - are even starting to cover it. With this step, it seems Sony's whining has turned the spotlight onto them.    Australia is stealing New Zealand game devs. Ok, so that's a bit sensationalist. But it's really happening. A lot of Kiwi's are heading across the ditch as Australia is just proving to be a much better place for developing games. And it's happening across all industries. How will New Zealand compete when their neighbor offers a lot more lucrative options?    Game completions are back as a talking point. How many people should play and complete a game? What is the general population that can play and finish these 80-hour monsters? Seems like it's a third of all gamers. Which is higher than we thought!    These are just a few things we cover in this very informative episode of #NuNews! It's almost like we're doing a real news show. But with opinions. Our opinions. Which are the right opinions.    If you'd like to support the podcast, but don't know how, then just leave a review on your podcast platform of choice.
