<p>On episode 6 of the Downloadable Gaming Podcast we talk about the fact that the roles of "casual" and "hardcore gamers no longer exists, Netflix will have a panel on this years E3, and we will be getting a new Mortal Kombat movie.</p>
<p>Over the past few decades there used to be only two segments of gamers in the world. You were either considered a hardcore gamer; someone who spends a significant amount of money and time to video games. Or you were a casual gamer, someone who spent some money and time towards gaming. But recently those roles have changed thanks to the emergence of streaming and eSports. Now we have eight different segmentation from the hardcore of gamers who spend thousands on their PC, to those who would rather sit on the couch and watch an eSports event or someone elses Twitch stream.</p>
<p>In a funny, yet painfully scripted, conversation. E3 and Netflix announced that the streaming giant will indeed have its own panel during the June convention. The theme of Netflix's panel would be bringing our favorite Original Series' to video games. While we do not know any other series besides Stranger Things that will become a game, it will be interesting to see what Netflix has up its sleeve.</p>
<p>We haven't had a Mortal Kombat movie since the original film back in 1995. That will be changing according to numerous tweets pointing to the biggest film production in Australia will be a remake of the Mortal Kombat Movie. Not only that, but James Wan; director of Aquaman, will be coming onto the project as a producer. </p>
