Xbox, Nintendo, and PlayStation have now all joined in chorus condemning the reports surrounding the toxic work culture and misconduct allegations at Activision Blizzard. We could be witnessing a new era for Activision as Bobby Kotick is pressured to resign. Meanwhile PlayStation is facing its own gender discrimination lawsuit, the Dragon Age 4 Creative Director has quit, Epic bought Harmonix, and Chrono Cross is probably the next big PlayStation remake. This week's 5-Second Review will make you question your own video game buying habits but that’s okay because this week’s Coming Soon section might give your wallet a tiny break… but not really cause the Steam Autumn sale and Black Friday are in full swing. Have a great weekend everyone and thanks for watching. 00:00 - All three console makers blast Activision 08:48 - PlayStation faces gender discriminlation suit 09:52 - Dragon Age 4 creative director quits 10:57 - Epic buys Guitar Hero, Rock Band studio 11:49 - Big Playstation remake revealed? 13:00 - 5-Second Review 13:20 - Coming Soon Buy our shirt!

I’m wondering if the companies may just ban activision and blizzard from putting games on their consoles.

We all rely on BG for the decades old JRPG/remake news. Though I absolutely refuse to rebuy Skyrim. It isn't *that* good.
