Who doesn't love a complete trash fire? Pour one out for Amazon Studio’s team-based shooter Crucible, because it’s been more than just a rough launch for the game. Amazon announced this week that they’ll be taking Crucible back into closed beta. Yep that’s right, they’re putting that lumpy old game cake back in the oven to try and burn off all the bad bits. Of course that works better for games than for cakes, but you know what I’m saying. Anyways, stay tuned to Inside Gaming while we try to answer the age-old question, “Can you just throw money at everything?”

Every major video game company has to apologize for something eventually, and this time the bell tolls for Nintendo. It’s not much, but Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa finally acknowledged and apologized for the notorious impact of Joy-Con drift. However, there’s also an ongoing lawsuit over Joy-Cons and drift which prevented Furukawa from saying if Nintendo actually plans to permanently fix the issue or further help affected customers… sooo I guess we’ll take what we can get right here on Inside Gaming Daily! In the meantime, let’s take a look at what else Nintendo’s apologizing to shareholders for.

Xbox Boss Reacts to PS5 Event - Inside Gaming Daily Jun 27, 2020

Show notes

There are few video game executives as debonair as Phil Spencer, and even when he’s taking potshots at the competition, he does it with a little bit of class. Spencer appeared at a recent conference called Gamelab Live. When asked about his thoughts on the competition and the PS5, his response was resoundingly confident. But is it true that the Xbox Series X has a significant hardware advantage over the PS5 or is it all just a bunch of marketing and hot air? Hang with us as we mull it over on today’s episode of Inside Gaming Daily!

Today on Inside Gaming Daily we’re going through the aftermath of a failed game streaming platform. The writing was on the wall (and it’s not a complete surprise), but Microsoft announced this week that their streaming platform Mixer will be no more... Oh wait, what? They just told everyone with a tweet so a lot of people were totally surprised? Oh my god Ninja made how much? Shroud too?! Facebook? Oh sorry, I got distracted.

The fuzzy line between loot boxes and gambling is about to get a lot less blurry as a new lawsuit has surfaced suing Apple Inc. for its use of loot box games in its App Store. Countries around the world have been waging their own individual wars against gaming's most hated monetization practice but if the US District Court in California rules in favor of the people and against Apple Inc. - it could be a major blow against the use of pay-to-win loot boxes and gambling mechanics in video games on a grand scale.
