Here on the Push Square Podcast, we pride ourselves on delivering the hottest of hot takes and the only opinions that matter anywhere in the universe. Naturally that means that in this episode we take a long hard look at how Bethesda's newly reformed review policy could affect both consumers and the industry in general. The super-duper special guest this week – we literally can't get enough of him it seems – is once again Alex Stinton who joins us to talk Battlefield 1 and addresses the concerns Ben and I have had since the first teaser trailer. Found in the depths of my Indie Bin this week is the undeniably different Virginia, which is a 'walking simulator'. Obviously.
We round off the show, as always, with the great questions asked by you guys in our forum thread. We love chatting with you and hearing your feedback about the 'cast, so please feel free to drop a comment in the forum thread, in the comment section below, or by emailing us on our fancy new email: [email protected].
I'd lastly like to take this opportunity to encourage all our listeners to please have a read of Push Square's Review Policy, its stance on the matter we tackled in this weeks 'cast and to also be mindful of the community rules before ranting and raving in any of our comment sections regarding the matter!

Good listen so far, half an hour in. With regards to the lack of review codes and youtubers getting them first due to their manipulations on market forces, isn't it time these streamers were regulated?
I will listen to the rest after work in the gym on my ps gold headphones plugged in obviously.
@themcnoisy If they're advertising a game but not telling viewers it's an advert then they are breaking the law. But someone needs to go to the Advertising Standards Authority with something concrete on these youtubers for anything to definitely happen. Likely to happen sooner or later.
