It appears Blizzard goes full TMNT about the lawsuit ... (PSSST, Not that kind of Shredder) Pinky wonders what China is up to. Is it getting toxic in here or are we all just a little more salty now and what does cloud gaming hold for us on this episode of Joystick and Mouse. http://www.joystickandmouse.comhttp://shop.joystickandmouse.com/https://www.patreon.com/joystickandmouse Our Guest Rishi B - @rishibh Story Links Here's what you don't do when somebody sues you. You don't destroy the evidence and then deny that you destroyed the evidence. The state of California emended their lawsuit against Blizzard this week by saying that that is exactly what they did. https://www.gamespot.com/articles/activision-blizzard-accused-by-california-of-shredding-abuse-evidence/1100-6495597/https://kotaku.com/california-accuses-activision-blizzard-of-shredding-abu-1847550659 In this weeks example of lawmakers don't understand video games at all, If you live in China, and are under the age of 18, you can only play up to 3 hours  of video games a week. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/aug/30/china-cuts-amount-of-time-minors-can-spend-playing-video-gameshttps://www.nbcnews.com/tech/video-games/chinese-state-media-slams-video-games-warns-addiction-children-rcna1584 Speaking of China, I'm pretty sure they are going full Brain on the video game industry and trying to take over the world. Well if they own it all maybe they can enforce that 3 hours a week thing.https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/video-games/s-china-gaming-tech-giants-are-snapping-video-game-studios-rcna1536 I had an interaction this week that was less than pleasant. It got me thinking though and then this story crossed my feed so I decided to bring it up on the show. That question is: What is the most toxic game community. https://blog.unity.com/news/the-state-of-disruptive-behavior-in-multiplayer-games-2021 On this show, we talk  lot about the future of cloud gaming and where it is going and wha that means for us as gamers. This story though presents a list of trends and futures for cloud gaming so you know we couldn't pass that up.https://www.datamation.com/cloud/cloud-gaming-trends/
