Episode 48 - The Game Awards 2022 Nominations
Show Notes Chapter Markers

The nominees for the Game Awards 2022 have been revealed, but the response from much of the gaming world has been... *shrug*. Why do the Game Awards garner such apathy from gamers (if not outright hatred)? And having acknowledged that the awards are largely nonsense, which games are we rooting for?

We'll also be discussing the mayhem caused by Twitter Blue users impersonating video game companies, how Xbox proactively suspended up to 4.8m user accounts in the first half of 2022, the news that Nintendo still won't commit to backwards compatibility for its next-gen consoles, and how Rockstar reportedly turned down a Grand Theft Auto movie starring Eminem.

Finally, class is in session with Professor Ryebread in our Gaming History 101 segment. In this episode, we're looking at the history of laserdisc games.
