Gamers Week Podcast

Starfield officially launches on Wed, Sept. 6, although players with the Constellation edition or Premium edition upgrade can get access five days earlier. But even though it’s not quite out yet, the headlines this week have been buzzing about Bethesda’s newest RPG. So for our main topic, we’re looking at a roundup of Starfield headlines, including the Starfield leaker who was arrested after allegedly stealing copies of the game, Todd Howard's claim that Starfield "doesn't really even get going until you finish the main quest," and how Starfield's player character was initially going to be voiced.
We'll also be discussing Epic Games' new program that will offer devs a 100% revenue split for launching their game exclusively on the company's store, how Sonic Team head Takashi Iizuka says pixel art won't be a viable style for Sonic in 10 to 20 years, and how the newly announced Qomp2 is Atari’s thrilling continuation of the Pong saga.
Finally, class is in session with Professor Ryebread in our Gaming History 101 segment. In this episode, Professor Ryebread is sharing his top 5 list of influential women in the gaming industry.
