Show Notes
The torches were lit, the pitch forks were brandished and the angry mob set its sights on Activision-Blizzard. What to do in the face of an angry mob? Dr Frankenstein didn't know and frankly we don't really know either but whatever the right solution is, What Blizzard did this week was not it. We'll explore what they did do, what they should have done and maybe what some others are doing on this episode of Joystick and Mouse.
