The MinnMax Show GTA VI, Giant Bomb And Polygon Gutted, Deep Rock Galactic Survivor
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. Ana Diaz was previous a cohort at MinnMax, we're excited to have her jump on again here and there for content - in the same way Charles Harte does.
