We’re back and yep! We’re still talking about Star Citizen. After yesterday's blow up, it looks like the developers behind the world’s most expensive unfinished game have replied to the outcry of fans calling foul. Unfortunately, this wasn’t a straight forward announcement with a projected release date or a roadmap of expected updates. Noooooo! That would be all too easy. Instead Star Citizen fans were treated to a road map of the road map of updates. Still following? Good so are we! Forever. This never gets old. Tune in to Inside Gaming Daily tomorrow for another daily update of Star Citizen… oh dang… maybe they hire us? They could certainly afford it.

Gaming's biggest Kickstarter game in history, Star Citizen, is back in the news as fans grow restless with the lack of updates from the games developer Cloud Imperium. Particularly there’s a lack of updates around the studios single player “add-on” game, Squadron 42, which features big star power like Mark Hamil and Gary Oldman. While fans are anticipating delays and bad news, this is particularly frustrating because of the amount of money raised by fans in the meantime. Come commiserate with us on today’s Inside Gaming Daily.

US Military runs fake Twitch Contest - Inside Gaming Daily Jul 25, 2020

TAKE A KNEE! The US Military has hit a new low while attempting to use Twitch as an armed services recruitment platform. In the COOLEST of fashions, they ran a fake contest on their own Twitch channel! Neat! It featured a clickable link to win an Xbox Elite 2 controller which aaactually just sent participants to a recruitment page, whoopsies! In response to the dubious act, U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said recently that she plans to file a measure to stop the military from using games and esports to recruit people. Sure, some might be willing to give the military the benefit of the doubt... I mean, not like this is the first weird scammy thing the army’s ever done, RIGHT? Join us today on Inside Gaming and read between the lines to learn everything the government doesn’t want you to know!

It’s Mixer’s final day and we’re sending them out the only way we know how. With a 10 minute (give or take) YouTube video full of fun times and quick jabs. Come hangout with us as we give Mixer the ol viking funeral and wish it a fond farewell for it’s short lived life as a very competent yet unpopular streaming service. Oh of course, the Mixer community is now faced with the tough decision of deciding which new streaming platform to call home? Well, despite monetary incentives to join Facebook it looks like many Mixer streamers are moving on to even greener pastures.

Ubisoft Director says “Women Don’t Sell” - Inside Gaming Daily Jul 22, 2020

‘Member how Ubisoft was recently in the news for oh, ya know, harassing their employees? Well they’re BACK and ready to tell you all about their philosophy on WOMEN IN GAMES! Well, retroactively through employee testimonials, but still. Today’s story doesn’t come as a surprise, but it’s still shocking to hear such a bad and patently false take: that “women don’t sell” video games. In a lengthy report broken down by Friend Of The Show Jason Schreier, we also learned that some of Ubisoft’s best characters from the last decade (like Kassandra for AC: Odyssey) originally had bigger roles - and if it wasn’t for developers fighting tooth and nail to keep characters in, they might not have been included at all! Today, we are collectively saying “WTF?!” on Inside Gaming Daily.

The launch of the PS5 and Xbox Series X are fast upon us, but is the PS5 launch actually a liiittle faster upon us than we originally thought? At the very least, a WHOOPSIE at Amazon revealing a PS5 pre-order page indicates that we may be seeing a price announcement for the PS5 very soon. Wait… if that price announcement is tied to a launch date there’s a slim chance we could see a new Playstation before this November… Okay okay, probably not, but you can bet homebound Sony fans everywhere are trying to speak that ish into existence. Thanks for watching Inside Gaming Daily while you wait (pray?).

A new Xbox blog details Microsoft's big plans for the future of the Xbox Series X and the Xbox One. Annnd it’s hard not to admit… the future is looking pretty bright for Xbox and PC owners. The biggest news of course is that Phil Spencer has claimed in the blog that all Xbox exclusive games will cross-gen for a while into the Series X life cycle. If that wasn’t enough the big Xboxx said they are intending to make every Xbox One game compatible with the Xbox Series X. Combine that with Game Pass and the promise of Xcloud and there really isn’t a good reason not to become an Xbox fan… well, granted we see some really cool exclusives at the xbox showcase next week. Until then we’ll be right here talking about video games on Inside Gaming Daily!
