The Player's Club Podcast Ep 63: The Hype of the Steam Deck and the Disappointment of the Activision Blizzard Lawsuit
b'
What\\u2019s Up, Playa?
\\nWelcome back to another episode of The Player\\u2019s Club Podcast! We took a break, but this time Emmett Watkins Jr and Allan Muir are back to tackle too big topics. At the top of the show, we talk about the lawsuit that Activision Blizzard is currently facing and then later speculate and get hype over the existence of Valve\\u2019s Steam Deck. We\\u2019re on absolute opposite sides of the emotional spectrum today, but I know y\\u2019all understand.
\\nBut that\\u2019s not all! We also take about plenty of games in the Whatcha Playin segment, where Emmett talks about his time with Arcadegeddon, Nickelodeon Kart Racers, and RE Village while Al talks about his time with Pokemon Let\\u2019s Go Pikachu, The Simpsons Game, and Last Stop.

- \\ufe0egame dev doll on Twitter: "now that this is coming public, can yall stop telling black women that we\'re lying about the discrimination we face in this industry" \\n
- @blackgirlgamers: It\'s actually fascinating how this toxic culture in gaming has been... \\n
- Janet Garcia on Twitter: "It\'s a cruel joke that women in the games industry are the most likely to be accused of not being passionate enough when they literally love an industry that does not love them back. I\'m media, not a dev, but there are many days where I wish I could love something else." \\n
- StefanieGD\\U0001f480 on Twitter: "I would love nothing more than to just make video games as a woman without the sense of dread of knowing the industry I\'ve dedicated my life to is a fucking crime scene" \\n
- @Teanah: The only thing that really makes me feel useful these days is to help other women and minorities stay in this industry. If you need to chat I am available, even if it\\u2019s just to privately listen. \\n
- Katiechu on Twitter: "This Activision-Blizzard lawsuit should not be remotely surprising if you\'ve ACTUALLY been listening to women & black women the last few years." \\n
- Zaire on Twitter: "The part of the Activision article involving Black women\'s treatment really bothered me. So, I\'m publishing this article early about Black people in the TLOU franchise. It\'s no secret I love TLOU. Hell, I\'ve applied three times as a writer. 1/x" \\n
