This week in games has largely been defined by the ongoing situation at Activision Blizzard and the flood of reactions toHalo Infinite’sfirst Flight. With both of those bits of news, and plenty of other tidbits coming out over the past seven days or so, Cameron and Anthony have plenty to talk about on Game Rant Arcade Episode 33.
Kicking things off,J Allen Brack has been ousted as Blizzard’s president, with the position being taken over by Jen Oneal and Mike Ybarra, who will co-lead the company. It’s been seen by some fans as evidence that old Blizzard is now gone entirely, though that might still be speaking a bit early.
