This episode, I chat with my buddy Steven Trombetta, Senior Manager at Rockstar Games, whom I've known for a decade ago back in Xbox days.
He shares his experience shipping new launch features on PlayStation 5, and some fun stories around convincing game developers to adopt the features.
We also chat about his streaming initiative, Huge Gaming, which is a cool inclusive community for new streamers.
Definitely check out his Twitch, as well as the Huge Gaming Twitter page for more details.
