digitec Podcast Episode 95: Interview with Swiss game developer expat, "Warcraft" mobile game, "Doctor Strange," "Switch Sports
Game developer Daniel Lutz talks to us about his time at Square Enix and his new solo project. Other topics include Blizzard's mobile game and the recent lawsuit against CEO Bobby Kotick.
In this podcast episode, we talk to Daniel Lutz. The Swiss game developer has been living and working in Montreal for over ten years. He spent most of that time at Square Enix. Now he's working on a solo project. He tells us how he ended up in Canada and how to find the fun in games. You can find the written version of the interview here. Before that, though, we have a few other topics.
You want more gadget talk, we deliver more gadget talk. Luca tried out an alternative to the Apple AirTag from Germany. Musegear locates your stuff without collecting data. Activision Blizzard is in the headlines twice. Firstly, with the new mobile game "Warcraft Arclight Rumble" and secondly, with another lawsuit against CEO Bobby Kotick.
In the big screen segment, we talk about the British series "We are lady parts." There, a punk band of five Muslim women fights for success and acceptance. More fantastical is "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness," which left Marvel fan Luca confused but happy.
16 years after the launch of Wii Sports, Nintendo is taking another stab at a flailing sports game. Luca and I sweated our way through "Switch Sports" for you.

Being the game and gadget geek that I am, working at digitec and Galaxus makes me feel like a kid in a candy shop – but it does take its toll on my wallet. I enjoy tinkering with my PC in Tim Taylor fashion and talking about games on my podcast http://www.onemorelevel.ch. To satisfy my need for speed, I get on my full suspension mountain bike and set out to find some nice trails. My thirst for culture is quenched by deep conversations over a couple of cold ones at the mostly frustrating games of FC Winterthur.
