The Gigification of Games Media w/ Ben Bertoli - #306

This week we talk with Ben Bertoli (Polygon, Kotaku, IGN) about the current state of gaming journalism following the sale of Polygon and the layoff of the majority of their staff. With sites like Giant Bomb going independent, how feasible are smaller scale operations in the media space? We also cover all the Nintendo and gaming news and rumors such as Nintendo attending Gamescom, Nintendo's ability to brick your Switch 2, and much more. As always, we close with the games we’ve been playing. Listen to Super Switch Headz on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you enjoy podcasts.
