Spawnpoint is thrilled to be joined by Andy Robertson, editor of Family Gaming Database, a wonderful website to sort through the thousands of video games released each year and figure out which ones are best for you and the kiddos in your life. Patrick and Andy chat about how their experiences as parents led them to creating Crossplay and Family Gaming Database, and how it’s had them confronting the many ways the video game industry doesn’t help parents.
Crossplay subscribers get access to episodes early at https://crossplay.news, and you can visit the Family Gaming Database at https://www.familygamingdatabase.com
