Game-Wisdom Live Update

Going forward, I’ve decided to change how things are posted related to our live show on Sunday. If you want to see it uncut, then you have to either tune in around 3 pm est, or be a VIP backer on http://patreon.com/gwbycer. For everyone else, the show will be edited to feature our major design discussions. Starting with this one, where Rob and I talked about the Go series being cancelled.
