Gamescom 2013 is in full swing, and we are back with number four of five Super Joystiq Podcast Specials.

Today, the regular Gamescom crew is joined by Pete Hines of Bethesda, and Gordan Van Dyke and Shams Jorjani of Paradox. With the Swedish publisher Paradox on-hand, the group takes the opportunity to discuss the different approaches of EU vs. US publishers, and how cultural differences affect game releases in Germany. Pete Hines also talks The Elder Scrolls Online and the decision to go subscription-based, and Alexander and Richard get into an intense Titanfall love-fest.

The Great Gamescom Podcast Giveaways of 2013 continues full steam ahead! In today's episode, we reveal the password required to enter to win a framed The Walking Dead painting (for above your fireplace-- naturally). Instructions for how to enter can be found on this post, and after the break. Be sure to catch each episode every day this week for a new giveaway. See you back here tomorrow, for the grand finale!

Details about each segment are available after the break.
