Connect with top gaming leaders in Los Angeles at GamesBeat Summit 2023 this May 22-23. Register here.


It’s time for another GamesBeat Decides podcast, because games are happening and someone has to figure out what the heck it all means.

On this week’s episode, hosts Jeffrey Grubb and Mike Minotti talk about Mike’s first Victory Royale in Fortnite that happened right before they recorded (just 19 more to go before he catches Roseanne Barr). Jeff turns into a prepper for Far Cry 5, which has him feeling conflicted. The industry is recovering from Game Developers Conference in San Francisco last week, and Mike shared some stories from the event. The crew also talks about the growing momentum for unions coming out of GDC.

Join us to talk about how bizarre the game industry is right now, won’t you?
