That's one dead Luigi.

GamesBeat Decides 91: Luigi’s bloated corpse

Space is limited. Secure your seat today.

We’ve only had 5 days between recordings of the GamesBeat Decides podcast, so we weren’t expecting to have a lot to talk about on this week’s episode. That was our first mistake.

The GamesBeat Decides crew has spent most of the last week playing Dead Cells, and that’s what they spend the top half of this week’s episode talking about. But then it is a huge news section with several major stories including IGN’s plagiarism problem, Riot’s sexism problems, and Steam’s Fallout 76 problem.
