digitec Podcast Episode 80: Activision Blizzard, "Matrix Resurrections," "Eastward

What does the Activision-Blizzard acquisition mean for the industry? Is "Matrix Resurrections" really that bad? Why is a little girl stuck in a rock in "Eastward"? We answer these and other questions in the podcast.
The biggest acquisition in the gaming industry is making waves. We discuss in detail the possible consequences of the Activision-Blizzard acquisition by Microsoft for 68.7 billion US dollars.
After that, there's the big reunion in the 20th anniversary special of "Harry Potter". Not only Potter fans will get their money's worth. There is less agreement on "Matrix Resurrections," which Luca is quite upset about.
The game continues with "Eastward". A beautiful pixel adventure in a mysterious world that is haunted by a dark threat. A pan-wielding miner and a girl who was freed from a rock shortly before are supposed to save them.

Being the game and gadget geek that I am, working at digitec and Galaxus makes me feel like a kid in a candy shop – but it does take its toll on my wallet. I enjoy tinkering with my PC in Tim Taylor fashion and talking about games on my podcast http://www.onemorelevel.ch. To satisfy my need for speed, I get on my full suspension mountain bike and set out to find some nice trails. My thirst for culture is quenched by deep conversations over a couple of cold ones at the mostly frustrating games of FC Winterthur.
