Blizzard Watch Podcast: More new Midnight info from Gamescom (which ended a month ago)

This week our writer Christian Thoma joined the mayhem that is the Blizzard Watch Podcast. Speaking of mayhem and the Blizzard Watch Podcast, you may recall that last week’s episode ended on a bit of a cliffhanger, as the hosts discovered that, while they were recording the podcast, Blizzard released 14 blog posts detailing all the announcements that happened at Gamescom. This week, they discussed the highlights of all those posts, which made matters even more confusing as they contradicted some other interviews and information that came out right around the same time.

Plus, another week, another new microtransaction most of us hate — you can get a new cute capybara pet in WoW for spending a mere $75 on the Blizzard Gear Store (on specific items).

Also, have you heard of a small indie game called Silksong?
