Emulator Aims to Keep Flash Games Alive! - BigSlice Gamescast Ep. 7

CORRECTION: Around 1:05:40, I mention that Activision never owned Destiny. That’s not entirely true. With the partnership with Bungie, they had the full publishing rights to the franchise. Once the split took place, Bungie acquired those rights for Destiny games going forward.

This week, Game Informer gets Thanos snapped, Microsoft is listening to you through your audio devices, an emulator is coming to Flash’s rescue, and Riot Games’ Gender Discrimination Lawsuit gets settled…for the most part. Enjoy the show!
