We also talk a bit about some backlash from 801 Strider over last week's episode of the podcast, discuss the struggles of content creation as BornFree may be ramping down soon, lay out which characters you should be choosing in MK11 if you want to play a top tier and more on this 50th episode of the EventHubs Podcast.
