digitec Podcast Episode 14: Microsoft buys Zenimax, "Justice League" becomes a series, "Mafia" remake
Microsoft shells out 7.5 billion dollars for Zenimax and we dare to predict in the podcast how good that is for everyone. Heroes like Blackwidow, the Justice League or "Hades" are the topic and Phil is sad because his new LG TVs don't get along with the RTX 3080. And Simon reveals what he has in common with Scarlett Johansson.
Microsoft has secured the rights to titles such as "Fallout", "Elder Scrolls", "Doom" and "Wolfenstein" with the purchase of Zenimax and emptied its war chest in the process. Great for us, because the Xbox now has some killer games for sure, or is Microsoft going EA on us and cancelling half of the studios? In the brave new HDMI 2.1 world of the new Nvidia graphics cards, LG is playing spoilsport with its OLED TVs. The 3080 models are currently not supposed to work. Speaking of Nvidia: a whole series of leaks are also a topic.
Luca has some big news from the big screen again, with superheroes being the main topic. In addition, Simon and Phil have each played an older, a polished and a new game.

When I flew the family nest over 15 years ago, I suddenly had to cook for myself. But it wasn’t long until this necessity became a virtue. Today, rattling those pots and pans is a fundamental part of my life. I’m a true foodie and devour everything from junk food to star-awarded cuisine. Literally. I eat way too fast.
