Halo Infinite's BR Plans & The Activision-Blizzard Lawsuit | The EarlyGame Podcast Ep. 2 The EarlyGame Podcast

    • Video Games

If you want to listen to a snarky Australian and a pompous ol' Brit complain about the week's gaming news, then welcome to The EarlyGame Podcast. In our second episode, we talk about Halo Infinite's Battle-Royale Plans, nerd out over the Lord of the Rings Amazon Show, get confuzzled over Ariana Grande's Fortnite Concert, talk about Ghost of Tsushima: Iki Island, and get hella excited about Battlefield 2042's new Portal Mode. We also talk at length about the Activision Blizzard Sex Discrimination and Harassment lawsuit, take a look at what has been alleged, and break down what we think will happen moving forward. As usual, there're a few little surprises for you along the way, for those of you who love nerdy s**t.

Disclaimer: This episode of The EarlyGame Podcast contains topics not suitable for children, particularly during our in-depth discussion of the sexual harassment allegations lodged against Activision Blizzard. Some topics and themes are uncomfortable and difficult to talk about, so please be aware of this before listening.

Here are links to all the articles we mentioned in the show.
