87: YOUR FEEDBACK ON WHO TO FIRE IS VALUABLE TO US

We're back after taking a week off for Independence Day, and everyone is talking about ArenaNet for some reason? Well, the GamesBeat Decides podcast is not going to miss out on a mess like this. That studios decision to fire two of its Guild Wars II writers for being mildly of abrasive on Twitter takes up a good portion of this week's news section.

In addition to overreactions from ArenaNet management, hosts Jeffrey Grubb and Mike Minotti also talk about the first 10 hours of Octopath Traveler, Frostpunk, and the Nintendo Virtual Boy. The Decides crew also weighs in on Steam sales, Todd Howard, and Crash Bandicoot.
