Customer Reviews
Everyone get a headset mic
Great content. Audio goes up and down depending on who is taking and if that person moves towards the microphone while speaking.
Insider content on the video game industry with perspectives of different roles.
Allow yourselves to go a little longer on tangents. Sometimes some really interesting things are talked about.
The audio killed it for me
Was really interested on the how to market your mobile games in 2021 episode but the hosts volume was low and the guests was high. It was startling when the guests voice would come on. Was really looking forward to the content but I had to pass on this.
the fatty
no tenias porque mentirme solo me ubieras dicho la verdad y punto
