Summary

MinnMax's Ben Hanson is joined by the huge crew of Kelsey Lewin, Haley MacLean, Leo Vader, Jacob Geller, Jeff Marchiafava and returning champion Ana Diaz to talk about Grand Theft Auto VI's new trailer, Polygon, Giant Bomb, and the state of games media, indie publishing agreements, and good new games like Deep Rock Galactic Survivor and Revenge of the Savage Planet.
