244: Call of Duty Modern Warfare, EA on Steam and Blizzcon 2019

Call of Duty has returned to the name Modern Warfare with a 2019 take on modern combat. With it comes a new story campaign, new game modes and co-op making for a vast departure from last year's Black Ops 4. This one is more grounded, has a solid story and feels like a return to the feeling that captured us from Modern Warfare 1 and 2. 

In the news this week, J. Allen Brack apologizes for Blizzard's actions last month, EA announces they're bringing their games to Steam starting with Star Wars and Playstation Vue is shutting down next January.

Our discussion this week revolves around Blizzcon itself. We discuss the overall feeling of the conference and their overall better showcase this year than last year's disaster with Diablo Immortal. They unveiled Diablo 4, Overwatch 2, a new WOW expansion called Shadowlands and Hearthstone Battlegrounds. Was it enough to take away the press from their protests about their stance at last month's tournament?
