Dan Houser is out at Rockstar Games. Will its games change as a result?

GamesBeat Decides 138: What Dan Houser’s exit means for Rockstar

Join independent journalists and industry decision-makers at GamesBeat NEXT, returning to San Francisco November 2–3. The event brings together 500 executives, founders, investors and tech leaders shaping the $200 billion interactive economy for candid discussions on gaming, entertainment, technology and AI, plus executive networking and opportunities to build partnerships and close major deals.

It was a big week with a lot of video game news, and the crew runs through it all on this week’s episode of the GamesBeat Decides podcast. Dan Houser is leaving Rockstar Games. Warcraft III: Reforged is the worst thing since murder. And Nvidia GeForce Now is launching out of beta. We also have a huge pile of financial news from Sony, Take-Two, and Activision.

PC gaming editor Jeff Grubb also chats with GamesBeat lead writer Dean Takahashi about Doom Eternal. He posted a video on YouTube, and — surprise — people are mad at him about it. Then reviews editor Mike Minotti talks about Mega Man Zero. Jeff, meanwhile, is playing ScourgeBringer and PictoQuest on Steam.
