digitec Podcast Episode 98: More rights for "Call of Duty" developers
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.

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.
