The first union at a major game studio is a reality. EA wants to be bought. Plus, we rave about the remake of Chip and Chap: The Knights of Justice.

Raven, the co-developers of "Call of Duty" have formed a union. This could have far-reaching consequences for the industry. The sale of EA is also likely to have far-reaching consequences, if a buyer can be found. Meanwhile, Apple is shipping iPhone repair kits weighing a total of nearly 40 kilograms.

Lighter is the entertainment we treated ourselves to this week. This includes the remake of "Chip and Chap: The Knights of Law" and the dino-documentary "Prehistoric Planet." Much more serious is the series "Tokyo Vice," which features Swiss participation.

We played the latest survival hit "V Rising," which combines "Valheim" with vampires.

Competition on the occasion of the 100th episode

In two weeks we will record our 100th episode. To mark it, we've come up with something special. This includes two competitions with prizes worth a total of over 2500 Swiss francs. They are sponsored by Sony, Microsoft, Adobe and Logitech. We're also throwing in six Game Pass subscriptions for good measure. The first contest needs your input. Find out how you can win in the podcast.

As a child, I wasn't allowed to have any consoles. It was only with the arrival of the family's 486 PC that the magical world of gaming opened up to me. Today, I'm overcompensating accordingly. Only a lack of time and money prevents me from trying out every game there is and decorating my shelf with rare retro consoles.
