This week Josh is joined by long-time friend James Montemagno. Spotify has good news for free users, but once the guys covered that it was all gaming news. Microsoft had a lot more in store for their XO18 event than anyone could have expected! They acquired two more studios, announced a bunch of games coming to Xbox Game Pass, and shared more details on the forthcoming Crackdown 3. Microsoft also revealed some of their Black Friday deals and officially released keyboard and mouse support for the Xbox. There was a lot of news to cover, and we got to catch up with James and find out what his entertainment technology stack looks like.
Join us most weeks for the live recording of Entertainment 2.0 on Tuesday evenings at 8:30 pm ET!
