Diablo Christmas Episode 390

Published: Dec. 17, 2022, 4 p.m.

b'In this episode, I talked about some questionable charities that Twitch selected. Microsoft is targeting Sony regarding the Activision Blizzard acquisition. A Better ABK has concerns about COVID and forcing people back into the office. Most of this episode was about the various Christmas-related stuff in Diablo 2: Resurrected, Diablo Immortal, and Diablo III. Also talked about the confusingly named Diablo IV Collectors Edition.
