So what’s going on? Has the Xbox One already been discontinued? Well put on your speculation goggles because today we’re diving into the deep end of Inside Gaming Daily!

It’s certainly not a secret that the entire games industry is experiencing its own #metoo movement - and today, we’re talking about how that movement has hit Ubisoft. Developers and industry vets are coming forward with even more tales of assault, harassment, and an overall unhealthy (and in some cases, unsafe) work environment. It’s become an all too common stream of testimonies and hardship - however, what is rare is a company like Ubisoft taking decisive action against its implicit executive and managing leadership. Kudos to them for removing two executives and their now former head of HR just a day(?) before the big Ubisoft Forward games showcase. While this was broadly seen as a win by Ubisoft employees and the industry as whole, it was an interesting decision for Ubisoft not to include a mention of the initiative. We’ve got our takes on this choice on today’s IG Daily.

The reports are in: the Last of Us Part 2 is extremely divisive! SURPRISE! People were upset after the leaks but the game sold very well regardless. It even received extreme amounts of praise from a variety of games sites. However, that hasn’t stopped an unwieldy internet mob from continuing to send death threats to the games cast and creators. Yep, even Niel Druckmann, the game’s director is being harassed... for making a video game. It’s one thing to dislike a game or be critical of it, but it’s completely unacceptable to threaten and harass people over a game - so today we’re wading through the worst of it on Inside Gaming Daily.
