PYP 84: Fair Facts

August 14, 2015

Are you tired of bias gaming critique in the media?  Do you even notice when companies are discussed in an inequitable fashion?  This episode is a commentary on bias in the gaming media.  It's something that's rampant within the gaming industry and we (THE Aceblack (@JRHAce) and Henry (@Knoxbroadcast), and myself) speak out against it.  Someone has to. Hopefully after this show, you'll learn how to easily recognize bias and, hopfully, avoid it.  Thanks for listening and enjoy the show! Stay open
