Cleo joins me for a lot of exciting queer game news and a heaping pile of drama! On the news side: Zorkie Studios, the developer duo behind Quality Dreams, Reasonably Priced, has a brand new game announcement, Sonic Racing CrossWorlds and Warframe have Nintendo Switch 2 updates, Pokémon Legends Z-A’s DLC is dropping very soon, and some weird and maybe disappointing updates on Mass Effect 5 and Fallout New Vegas 2. On the drama side: tons of layoffs, and a massive update on GTA 6 that is meant to distract us all from Rockstar’s alleged attempt at union busting.   00:00:00 - Intro 00:05:19 - What We’ve Been Playing 00:25:35 - News 01:08:00 - Segment   This episode was recorded on November 9 2025.   Follow True Avatars: Official website: https://trueavatarspodcast.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TrueAvatars Bsky: https://bsky.app/profile/trueavatars.bsky.social Twitter: https://x.com/TrueAvatars Threads: https://www.threads.com/@trueavatars/ Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@true.avatars Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/trueavatars/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61569951551559   Guests: Cleo: https://www.instagram.com/cleostrophobia/   Sources: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4047160/Im_Making_a_Monster/ https://blog.bioware.com/2025/11/07/n7-day-2025/ https://www.pcgamer.com/games/rpg/mass-effect-boss-mike-gamble-slips-a-hidden-message-into-his-n7-day-update-asks-fans-to-stop-yelling-at-him-for-not-sharing-more-info-about-the-new-game/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WC-0DOg4z9A https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2025/11/warframes-switch-2-version-is-officially-launching-in-2026 https://www.gamesradar.com/games/fallout/obsidian-knows-that-everyone-on-the-internet-keeps-asking-for-fallout-new-vegas-2-but-its-devs-are-currently-happy-working-on-their-own-ip-and-xbox-has-been-pretty-supportive-too/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMve2vXAQGQ https://x.com/serebiinet/status/1986443665120579796?s=46&t=sVUrhNeL5EXDMRDpzdemfQ https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/another-netease-games-studio-is-shutting-down/ https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/yet-another-netease-studio-has-closed-this-time-watch-dogs-devs-bad-brain/ https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/neteases-closed-studio-t-minus-zero-entertainment-is-back-from-the-dead/ https://www.rockman-corner.com/2025/11/capcom-taiwans-game-development.html https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/square-enix-announces-more-layoffs-as-part-of-us-and-europe-restructuring/ https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/square-enix-says-it-wants-generative-ai-to-be-doing-70-of-its-qa-and-debugging-by-the-end-of-2027/ https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2025/11/the-legend-of-zelda-movie-is-now-in-production-in-new-zealand https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-10-31/-grand-theft-auto-studio-accused-of-union-busting-after-firings https://www.reddit.com/r/GamingLeaksAndRumours/comments/1ol535e/jason_schreier_grand_theft_auto_studio_accused_of/?share_id=jD4aca9IotIqoUFjuB4D9&utm_content=1&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_source=share&utm_term=1 https://www.reddit.com/r/GamingLeaksAndRumours/comments/1opjkg4/jason_schreier_rockstar_games_said_that_the/?share_id=jdo6UO90RAZ74PX1UTr_k&utm_content=1&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_source=share&utm_term=1 https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-11-05/-grand-theft-auto-studio-says-fired-employees-were-leaking-information?accessToken=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJzb3VyY2UiOiJTdWJzY3JpYmVyR2lmdGVkQXJ0aWNsZSIsImlhdCI6MTc2MjM4NDU1NSwiZXhwIjoxNzYyOTg5MzU1LCJhcnRpY2xlSWQiOiJUNUEwS0JHUFdDTDgwMCIsImJjb25uZWN0SWQiOiJCMUVBQkI5NjQ2QUM0REZFQTJBRkI4MjI1MzgyQTJFQSJ9.PipR6t4x9M3EqRs9jXeXrZNn3d-RZBZhXyh8pTYZhFs&leadSource=uverify%20wall https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:2mkgbhbhqvappkkorf2bzyrp/post/3m4wbmgq46k23 https://iwgb.org.uk/en/post/staff-at-rockstar-fired-en-masse/ https://www.rockstargames.com/newswire/article/ak3ak31a49a221/grand-thef
