Short Show – Episode 376

Slightly shorter show this week, for reasons that will be explained right at the beginning of this episode. In this one, I talked about Blizzard highlighting a game producer, a sketchy thing that GameStop has (allegedly) been doing, the battle over Call of Duty, and an article about “Crunch”. Also pointed you toward a potential writing gig, Blue Notes for Diablo II: Resurrected, and an absurd request from a player with “orb debt”.
