Xbox, Nintendo, and PlayStation have now all joined in chorus condemning the reports surrounding the toxic work culture and misconduct allegations at Activision Blizzard. We could be witnessing a new era for Activision as Bobby Kotick is pressured to resign.

Meanwhile, PlayStation is facing its own gender discrimination lawsuit, the Dragon Age 4 Creative Director has quit, Epic bought Harmonix, and Chrono Cross is probably the next big PlayStation remake.

This week's 5-Second Review will make you question your own video game buying habits but that’s okay because this week’s Coming Soon section might give your wallet a tiny break… but not really cause the Steam Autumn sale and Black Friday are in full swing.

Have a great weekend everyone and thanks for watching.
