Marvel Rivals Layoffs, Diablo Hackers, GTA 6 Reveals S6E6

In this week's episode, we delve into the unexpected layoffs at NetEase's Seattle studio, which developed the highly successful game Marvel Rivals. Despite the game's popularity, the company has laid off its U.S.-based design team to "optimize development efficiency," raising questions about job security in the gaming industry.

We also explore the recent debunking of a 15-year-old Diablo speedrun record. Investigators analyzed 2.2 billion dungeon seeds and uncovered inconsistencies in the original run, leading to its disqualification and reigniting interest in the Diablo speedrunning community.

Additionally, we discuss the latest updates on Grand Theft Auto VI, including speculations about its release date and Rockstar's efforts to engage user-generated content creators from platforms like Roblox and Fortnite to enhance the game's longevity.

Join us as we navigate these compelling stories and their broader implications for the gaming world.
