Bad PC conversions: Are we still second-rate players?
Recent PC releases of notable games like Call of Duty, Hogwarts Legacy, The Last of Us, The Callisto Protocol – the list could go on – have not covered themselves in glory with the PC community.
In the talk, Micha, Peter and Patrick talk about their frustration and worries and let their thoughts wander into the past and future. Was everything better in the past? Not always! Will everything get better in the future? We don’t give up hope.

Of course, our talk is also available as a podcast:
