Episode 50 - Then vs Now: A Conversation With Video Game Dev Christopher Cross
Show Notes Chapter Markers

So much has changed in the video game industry in the last 30 or so years that sometimes it feels like modern games are nearly unrecognizable when compared to their retro counterparts. We're joined by Christopher Cross, a long-time game dev who has worked in the video game industry since 1996 (Diablo, Medal of Honor, and Marvel Avengers are just a few of the titles on his resume), to chat about how gaming has changed over the past few decades and even where it may go in the next few.

We'll also be discussing how Microsoft has entered into a "10-year commitment" to bring Call of Duty to Nintendo consoles following its acquisition of Activision Blizzard, the new Mario Kart 8 Deluxe update that lets players finally customize their items, and the upcoming ToeJam & Earl movie in the works from Amazon and Stephen Curry.
