The latest episode of The GamesIndustry.biz Microcast is available to download now.

Our main topic this week is the struggles of consumer games events like PAX, EGX and the now-defunct WASD. Hands-on experience is still very much a crucial part of winning over potential buyers for your game, but the cost of attending and running events is escalating. David Lilley of WASD organisers Roucan discusses the challenges in this space, and why he's hopeful that events will return to form in future.

We also discuss some of the biggest news, including Sony's potential acquisition of Kadokawa, and how well October's biggest games sold across Europe.

You can listen via the player below, download the audio file directly here, or subscribe to our podcast feed, available via Spotify, iTunes, Amazon Music, CastBox, Player FM, TuneIn and other widely-used podcast platforms.

The Microcast can also be found on the GamesIndustry.biz YouTube channel, or via this playlist.

Platform Party UPS Digital One of the best party games on PC is getting a sequel

I'm as guilty as anyone of harbouring games on my hard drive for years on end, telling myself that I'll pick them up again 'any day now', but inevitably leaving them to gather digital dust (LA Noire: 3 years and 78 days). But there are a few games that earn their long-term residency on my rig, because I know it's a few months at most before I bundle enough people over to my place to play them. One of those is Ultimate Chicken Horse.
