In Keen Cast's fourteenth episode, David, Tim, and Sean try to answer a simple question: Was Blizzard wrong with the way it handled a pro Hearthstone player's comments regarding the Hong Kong protests? We also offer our opinions on how the house of World of Warcraft, StarCraft, and Overwatch should approach situations like this one in the future. The show isn't only about video games this week, as we also offer our impressions of Joker, My Hero Academia's fourth season, and The Flash!
Other topics on this week's roster include more information regarding the PlayStation 5 (yup, that's the official name!), our thoughts on the console's controller and its haptic technology, Doom Eternal's delay, and a game that looks a lot like Cuphead. Check out links and timestamps to all of our topics below:
