NetherRealm Studios has been under a bit of fire after allegations of harsh and grindy work environments surfaced, and this seems to be something of the norm for game development companies in general here in recent times. Capcom releases their latest IR report and let's just say the path into their future has a giant neon eSports sign above it. We also talk a bit about some backlash from 801 Strider over last week's episode of the podcast, discuss the struggles of content creation as BornFree may be ramping down soon, lay out which characters you should be choosing in MK11 if you want to play a top tier and more on this 50th episode of the EventHubs Podcast.
