In this episode, I briefly mentioned the little things that are left for the Microsoft – Activision Blizzard merger to finish. Activision sued a TikTok creator. There’s a new Diablo IV short story. Microsoft rolls out Xbox accessibility controller and also dropped “Xbox Home”.

Blizzard Devs know the game isn’t fun. ConBeforeTheStorm won’t be at Blizzcon. Also talked about Diablo Immortal Season 16, Diablo IV patch notes, a walkthrough of the storyline, a mount you can get from Amazon Prime, and what appears to be a variety of glitches in Diablo IV Season one.
