Videogame Journalism Part 2: Elegic Boogaloo with Mike Drucker

from Nerd of Mouth · host The Last Podcast Network

Video game magazines came and then the internet delivered a killshot and dropped a giant bomb on video game journalism. Holden walks us through the journey of how it all started pure before the corporate overlords did the thing they do of taking over and firing lots of decent people, and where that leaves us now. Guest Mike Drucker (Author of Good Game, No Rematch) joins with his own personal perspective on all of it.
