22. Game Changers: The Activision Blizzard & Microsoft Merger is Finally Official

HELLO HOT SPICY FRIENDS! We missed you, did you miss us? (Yes, obviously).

Morgan is back and better than ever after her mysterious trip to Atlanta… (details soon) and Miranda could not be happier to have her girl back.

We have a jam packed episode for you this week, starting off strong we discuss all things gaming including the finalization of the Microsoft acquisition of Activision Blizzard and what this means for the industry as all eyes are on Sony awaiting their next move. We delve into the Twitter controversy surrounding the new Overwatch 2 battle pass prices and discuss the rising cost of skins in game. Capitalism, man.

Next in ‘Should I Sweat This?’ we have a corporate girly looking to make the big move into the gaming industry but is her possible mentor gatekeeping? Next we have a listener struggling ONCE AGAIN with her discord community and a creepy guy. What in the heck is going on with Discord you guys?

In our final segment ‘Inside Gaming’ Morgan really delivers some inside pro tips providing some free and inexpensive resources and tools to help you or your small team create your own video game on a small budget!

So buckle in and turn up your airpods because BSG has a new episode and you are gonna love it! Did I mention, you look great today? Okay slayyyyyyy.
