In this edition of The Game Business Show, we discuss the state of the video game media with Alex Donaldson, the owner of RPG Site and former editor of Eurogamer. Alex is just launching a brand new games website called Respec, which is designed to be a more playful consumer publication. We also speak with Atari’s new European boss Andreas Deptolla about the company’s plans, including its goal of turning MobyGames into the ‘IMDB of video games’. Plus, of course, we discuss the latest cuts at Xbox.
