The idea would see players getting their own bespoke podcasts on their console, telling them what's new, hosted by the characters of the games they've been playing.

There's a national shutdown planned for this Friday: nationalshutdown.org
I'm def gonna join & I recommend anyone who can in the U.S. to do so as well
Shutting down the economy is a real good way to protest- if anything I wish these were planned more often
