Cyberpunk is broken on PS4 & Xbox One Dec 11, 2020

Go to https://bit.ly/insidegamingdailynews to get cozy at home this holiday season!

Thanks to ExpressVPN for sponsoring our channel http://expressvpn.com/inside

Cyberpunk 2077 is finally out! However, it is wildly janky across all its launch platforms including the Series X and PS5... but it’s particularly buggy on last gen consoles like the PS4 and the Xbox One.

Of course there were a few indicators leading up to launch that the game would have some bugs and after all CD Projekt Red did officially delay the game three times. Only PC copies of the game were sent out to reviewers and some were even told they can’t use their own footage of the game in embargo compliant reviews.

Now that the general gaming public has finally gotten their copies of the game it’s become really clear why. Cyberpunk 2077 is really, really broken on consoles. Some players reported sub 20 frames per second as well just an extreme level of open world jank.

Join us on today’s edition of Inside Gaming as we start the countdown to the next Cyberpunk 2077 patch and take a look at just how big the flames are on this long awaited launch day.

Devs say Cyberpunk 2077 bug fixes on the way Dec 09, 2020

Thanks to ExpressVPN for sponsoring our channel http://expressvpn.com/inside

Cyberpunk 2077 is more broken than we initially could have guessed and some of the issues in the game may even be hazardous to your health. CD Projekt Red says fixes are on the way but will the day one patch do enough?

More specifically, reviewers have reported an unskippable section of Cyberpunk 2077 that could be incredibly dangerous for those prone to epelptic episodes. Other issues include a variety open world jank with critics claiming they didn’t get through a single quest without one bug popping up or another.

Certainly, CD Project Red delaying the game three times and releasing review copies exclusively on PC was some indication that launch would be a little rough but only time will tell if the versions running on Xbox Series X, Series S, Xbox One, PS5, and PS4 will fare any better.

So start deleting all those old games and join us on today’s episode of Inside Gaming Daily as we make room on our collective harddrives for what’s sure to be an enormous day one patch for Cyberpunk 2077.

Two big names and lead developers at Bioware have recently submitted their resignation and now everyone is wondering exactly what is up at the studio. Casey Hudson was Bioware’s General Manager and Mark Darrah was the executive producer on the next big Dragon Age game. Big games like the kind they make at Bioware are obviously made by a lot of people but with two high profile industry veterans leaving at the same has has certainly turned a few heads. Is the Anthem reboot not going smoothly? Is the next Dragon Age gonna be alright? Will there ever be another Mass Effect game? We’re pondering all these hard hitting questions and more on today’s edition of Inside Gaming Daily!

The Cyberpunk 2077 daily countdown continues and even more last gen copies of the game have gotten into the wild. Which means, CD Projekt Red had to remind everyone to be cool. They tweeted out a PSA asking streamers not to stream the game until release but some fans took issue with the warning. Regardless, looks like the PS5 and Series X versions still haven’t broken street date yet so it will be interesting to see what unravels as we get closer to launch. We’re diving into everything that went down on today’s episode of Inside Gaming Daily!

PS5 sales outpacing the Series X Dec 02, 2020

Go to http://cutsclothing.com/inside for 15% off The Only Shirt Worth Wearing!

Thanks to ExpressVPN for sponsoring our channel http://expressvpn.com/inside

The Series X and the PS5 sales analysts don’t have a ton of concrete data yet but that’s not going to stop them from trying their damndest to estimate just how many units each next gen console has sold.

Surprisingly, the Nintendo Switch is still selling gangbusters and despite the launch of the PS5 and the Series X it still came in second place in the UK during the month of November. Now, it should be noted that there’s a major lack of supply of the new consoles and we should take all the napkin math with a grain of salt - but if these estimations and early sales data are any indication of what’s to come, the PS5 will have a significant sales lead over the new Xbox’s for at least the next year or so.

Only time will tell if Sony will have a repeat of the last hardware generation with the PS4 more than doubling sales of the Xbox One but either way we’re gonna have fun talking about it on today’s edition of Inside Gaming Daily!

Cyberpunk 2077 is just 9 days away and we can hardly believe it. It’s been a very long wait since we saw the first teaser for Cyberpunk 2077 back in 2013 but the game’s launch date is finally here and it likely won’t be delayed again.

To add to the good news CD Projekt Red is saying that the game is running ‘surprisingly well’ on last-gen base model consoles and even better on the Xbox One X and the PS4 Pro. That’s good news for console gamers everywhere since it’s been so hard to get a hold of a new Series X or PS5.

All this good news and more including Keanu Reeves’s impressions of the game, right here, on today’s episode of Inside Gaming Daily!

PS5 Scalpers think they're the good guys Nov 30, 2020

Thanks to ExpressVPN for sponsoring our channel http://expressvpn.com/inside

The PS5 and Xbox Series X are still impossible to obtain and of course we have many scalpers to thank for making an already difficult task even harder. However, one group of scalpers has taken offense to the idea that some people wouldn’t be happy with their bots, practices, and general ideology.

CrepChiefNotify notably has bought upwards to 3,500 PS5’s and roughly a 1000 Xbox Series X consoles according to their own admission. Online retailers just simply are not prepared to deal with scalpers in their online marketplaces and there is little if anything Sony or Microsoft can do about it after the fact.

However, there is hope on the horizon as both Xbox boss Phil Spencer and PlayStation Chief Jim Ryan have both taken note of the large number of unhappy potential customers and fans. Will that be enough to initiate company wide policies to stop bots and scalpers? And what about the retailers? We’re giving them all the stink eye on today’s edition of Inside Gaming Daily!

It’s time to say goodbye. The PS5 and the Xbox Series X have been out for a couple weeks now but before we can put our old consoles back in their boxes and up on the shelf we need a little closure. It’s important to take a moment and process the life and games we shared together over the last 8 years and honestly this video could have easily been twice as long. Sure we played it a little fast and loose with the difference between exclusives and timed exclusives and kind of just in general but we are going through year by year to talk about some of the best highlights of the PS4 and Xbox One. Put on an old record and lets pour one out together for the last generation of video game hardware, right here on Inside Gaming Daily.

Nintendo’s relationship with the grassroots community behind competitive Smash Bros. has been strained for a while now but Nintendo’s recent efforts to stop an upcoming Melee tournament may be the end of the game altogether.

The tournament organizers of The Big House 2020 received a cease & desist notice from Nintendo as a result of their use of Slippi a tool that allows PC emulated versions of Melee to be played online. Under COVID-19 guidelines and restrictions, an in-person tournament would be illy advised at least and impossible at best.

With no updated version or port of Melee ever being released by Nintendo and seemingly no plans to do so in the future, tournament organizers don’t have another option to run Melee tournaments. As a result of Nintendo’s actions, a lot of pent up anger over Nintendo’s lack of support for one of the strongest esports scenes is spilling out into the public discourse.

For many years Smash Bros. fans, organizers, and pros have tipped toed around their one-sided relationship with Nintendo - but that’s over now. The competitive Smash scene has overcome a lot on their own and Melee alone has ‘died’ and been reborn multiple times. We’d be surprised if they don’t manage to overcome this somehow as well.

Cyberpunk 2077 has leaked Nov 24, 2020

Go to https://expressvpn.com/inside and find out how you can get 3 months free.

Cyberpunk 2077 is easily the most anticipated game of the generation and after a series of delays and tumultuous developments - the game has been leaked. Only some of it has been posted online but it looks like there are entire copies already out in the wild. It is certainly a huge bummer for CD Projekt Red the developers of Cyberpunk 2077 and fans who might now have a harder time avoiding spoilers or mean-spirited trolls. There is an upside though. The leak and the notion that copies of Cyberpunk 2077 already out in the streets means the game won’t be delayed again. Catch us not holding our breath today on Inside Gaming Daily,

Sony working on its own Game Pass? Nov 21, 2020

Thanks to ExpressVPN for sponsoring our channel http://expressvpn.com/inside

A new interview with PlayStation chief Jim Ryan has surfaced and the SIE CEO hinted that there may be a new announcement about a new PlayStation or PS5 service coming soon. The Sony boss also answered questions about the console wars and the difficulties of launching the PS5 during the covid-19 pandemic. Although the PlayStation executive has been critical about Game Pass and Sony’s interest in providing new games at launch for a subscription fee - but it seems like Sony could be working on improving PlayStation Plus or PlayStation Now to match Xbox’s new flagship service. Tune in to today’s edition of Inside Gaming Daily to hear what Jim Ryan said as well as a couple of analyst takes.

The PS5 and the Xbox Series continue to be locked in an eternal battle as new sales figures reveal some interesting bits of information. More specifically sales number have come in from Japan and it looks like the PS5 is handily beating out the Xbox Series X but console sales overall are down compared to last generation.

The data we have so far is only a small slice of the pie and Xbox has always sold poorly in Japan so take that as you will - also we can probably assume Microsoft would make less units available in Japan based on their sales history there. Covid has obviously taken its toll on the production of latest PlayStation and Xbox consoles and analysts are saying even though demand is super high, there just aren’t enough Series X and PS5 consoles to go around.

Don’t get to down about, at least you have the most recent edition of Inside Gaming Daily to keep you company. See you in the comments.

Xbox Series X maker, Microsoft, is clearly making moves this year as its impending acquisition of Bethesda is one of the biggest video game buy ups of all time. There’s been a lot of speculation, doubt, and warring comments over whether or not that means all future Bethesda made games will be exclusive to Windows PC’s and the Xbox. Well a new quote from Bethesda’s chief financial officer implied that while Bethesda games might come to Xbox first they likely wouldn’t be limited to just one platform. Does that mean the next Elder Scrolls game will come to the PS5? Will Nintendo Switch get the next Arkane Studios game? Watch today’s episode of Inside Gaming to learn all about what was said and more!

The PS5's UI has a major flaw Nov 17, 2020

Thanks to ExpressVPN for sponsoring our channel http://expressvpn.com/inside

The PS5 is finally here in a super real way but now that the console is in the hands of the public a lot of people are claiming that something with their PS5 is just not quite right. Sure the Xbox Series X and the PS5 were bound to have a few bugs out of the gate, every new console does, but some of these issues are a little astounding. For example, there isn’t a way to tell whether you are running the PS5 or PS4 version of a game and other reports have people stuck in an error loop just from simply trying to download a game. Hopefully, a patch will come soon to fix it all up but until then good luck to all the new PS5 owners out there. Tune into tomorrow hopefully for a less woeful story and another exciting edition of Inside Gaming Daily!

Looks like the Xbox Series X is having even more issues than we previously thought! The next gen monolith isn’t playing nice with its disc drive which was a huge selling point for it over the Series S! Problems like loud whirring, clicking sounds, and the drive not working at all have been reported by countless players. Despite this, the Series X and Series S have had the greatest launch in Xbox history… but will that keep Xbox alive until games like Halo come out next year?

The Xbox Series X and Series S are out today… but no time for that because Marvel’s Avengers, the game from Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics not the MCU movies, is in trouble! Okay, it’s in more trouble. Well, actually, it’s on fire and the developers are really sorry about it. Yup! The game we called “2020’s Anthem” has hit an even lower low. The game cost publisher Square Enix nearly $200 million to produce and market and it only sold 3 million units, YIKES! But we’re not done yet, Crystal Dynamics has since apologized for the rocky launch and quality for the game over the last two months. Does Marvel’s Avengers still have a future?

The Xbox Series S has a major flaw Nov 05, 2020

Thanks to ExpressVPN for sponsoring our channel http://expressvpn.com/inside

The Xbox Series S is positioned to allow a bounty of gaming enthusiasts to play next-gen games on a budget… but there is a big problem with the console. Or should we say small? Small as in, there just isn’t a lot of hard-drive space on Microsoft’s new budget-friendly Xbox. One lucky customer received their Xbox Series S super early and shared that there was only 364GB available for game installs. With the size of the latest AAA titles growing over 100GB a piece Series S owners might be faced with having to delete a game every time they want to download a new one. While it isn’t a console breaking flaw it certainly isn’t convenient. Join us as we sort out our digital gaming libraries and size up what Microsoft’s all digital Xbox Series S actually has to offer, right here, on today’s edition of Inside Gaming Daily!

Activision Blizzard doubles down on mobile games Nov 03, 2020

Go to http://cutsclothing.com/inside for 15% off The Only Shirt Worth Wearing!

Thanks to ExpressVPN for sponsoring our channel http://expressvpn.com/inside

Activision Blizzard President and COO, Daniel Alegre, made it clear in a recent interview that the company will be investing heavily in mobile gaming for both existing and new franchises. Activision as the owner of King Entertainment and Candy Crush Saga is no stranger to the mobile market but the idea of transforming all of their generally thought of as core game franchises into mobile games might anger more than a few fans. At the last Blizzcon an announcement for Diablo Immortal, a mobile game, was infamously received by Blizzard’s most devoted fans with boos and heckling. In addition to the mobile market, it appears Blizzard will be making a stronger play to market its games overseas in Asia and specifically China. Of course, a hit on mobile in China would generate massive revenue for the company but will this new focus affect Activision Blizzard’s core franchises negatively? We are jumping into all the executive quotes and big money figures today on Inside Gaming Daily!

The real reason Cyberpunk 2077 was delayed Oct 30, 2020

Cyberpunk 2077 was delayed this week but a transcript of an investor call with CD Projekt Red was released and now we might know exactly why the game was delayed so close to launch. So what could it be? Were the rumors true about getting Cyberpunk 2077 to run on older generation hardware like the PS4 and the Xbox One? Did an entirely new game-breaking bug come up on next-gen consoles like the Series X and the PS5? Was it just as simple as a production oversight and miscalculation in planning that didn’t allow enough time for QA on such an ambitious game? Watch today’s episode of Inside Gaming Daily and we’ll tell you everything we know… I mean you had to see that coming right? This is just a description after all. (Thanks for watching everyone.)

Halo Infinite continues to be on fire Oct 29, 2020

Go to http://theragun.com/INSIDE right now and get your Gen 4 Theragun today!

Another lead has left Halo Infinite as it drifts through game development space without a confirmed release date. Studio Head of Halo Infinite Chris Lee is officially out and of course, that’s not a great sign considering the game is still in development. In addition, if rumors are to be believed Halo Infinite is in a spot of trouble due to the rough fan reactions 343 faced over the summer. The first gameplay reveal left a lot to be desired according to some and even inspired the meme for our favorite unamused grunt, Craig. This isn’t the first leadership shake up at 343 since Halo’s development either. Halo Infinite is starting to build a sorted history so on today’s edition of Inside Gaming Daily we are hitting the highlights that got us to where we are today. Grab the nearest BR and finish the fight with us… or you know just like watch the video or whatever.

Is Cyberpunk 2077 okay? Oct 29, 2020

Sign up for your 7-day free trial on HBO Max: http://bit.ly/hbomaxighalloween

Cyberpunk 2077 has been delayed again! Of course you already knew that, but what does this newest delay indicate about the current state of Cyberpunk 2077 and what will the state of the game be when it’s finally released? Another question fans in grief have been asking is, “why? how could this happen...again?” and maybe it's a fair question considering the game has officially been delayed three times now. The cherry on top of this big old mess is that it again raises concerns of crunch within the industry. Especially since CD Projekt Red’s last public statement was apologizing for going back on their word - previously saying they were going to reduce crunch but instead doubled down on crunch to finish Cyberpunk 2077 “in time.” There’s a lot of twists, turns, drama, suspense, and speculation on today's edition of Inside Gaming so don’t miss a second!

PS5's DualSense controller is a game changer Oct 28, 2020

If you’re ready to take action and prevent hair loss, go to http://keeps.com/inside to

receive your first month of treatment for free!

A flood of first impressions for the new PS5 controller are in! Reviewers have had their hands on the PS5 for about a week now and a new embargo lifted today allowing them to talk about the PS5’s new DualSense controller.

We have had haptic feedback and adaptive triggers for a little while now but reports are saying the new PS5 controller is very impressive. The different types of rumble are actually providing different sensations and feelings compared to the PS4 which just generally felt like it ever only had more rumble or less rumble. Trigger tension is also a big highlight in which early reviewers are saying, ““The first time a trigger fights you, you'll believe.”

This is all pretty exciting stuff and of course the new PS5 DualSense controller is also boasting to have twice as much battery life, a heftier feel, and a new more comfortable form factor. It will also be super fun to compare impressions with Xbox Elite 2 controllers and the new Series X controllers.

Microsoft comes to GameStop's rescue Oct 17, 2020

Microsoft has signed a unique deal with GameStop that will allow them to take a lifetime cut of digital game sales purchased from future Xbox’s that they sell in stores. GameStop’s market value has been floundering for the past couple of years and covid has certainly made matters worse for everyone’s ‘favorite’ retail video game store. However, this deal might be the start of something entirely new if Sony decides to sign a similar contract for the PS5. All things considered, this might be the big break GameStop has needed for a while to establish a more forward-looking revenue stream instead of relying solely on used games or game adjacent merchandise. Will it be enough to pull GameStop through another couple of years? We don’t know, but we are definitely going to talk about it on today’s episode of Inside Gaming Daily!

Sony finally reveals PS5 UI Oct 16, 2020

The PS5 UI has finally been revealed. Sony released a video this morning with a complete walkthrough of the PlayStation’s all-new user experience. It may not seem like it but it’s been a long time coming considering the PS5 and Xbox Series X release dates are just weeks away! It’s always great to get an official demo and sure things might change a little bit when the PS5 launches in November but for the most part there seem to be more than few cool new features. A card system that lets you pin guide videos or streams of your friends gameplay, new ways to share screenshots and recorded clips, and overall a kind of overlay ascetic which makes things feel a little more fluid. Join us today on Inside Gaming Daily as we take a look at the new PS5 user interface.

Critics like Mario Kart Live, but... Oct 15, 2020

Thanks to ExpressVPN for sponsoring our channel http://expressvpn.com/inside

Hurry to http://upstart.com/inside to find out HOW

LOW your Upstart rate can be!

Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit has brought the imaginative and whimsical world of Mario Kart to life! The reviews are in and critics seemed to be impressed but there are a couple of caveats that might leave you, or your pets, feeling a little blue-shelled. For the most part, integrating the real-life Mario Kart toy with the digital elements on Switch seems to work just fine and it’s a testament to Nintendo’s dedication to craft. Mario Kart fans are going to be thrilled and rest assured we are probably about to see some really cool fan-made tracks but how dedicated will players be when it comes to real-world maintenance of their toy Mario Karts? How far away can the cart be from the Switch? and will Mario Kart Live actually motivate us to clean more? We’re asking all the hard-hitting questions on today’s edition of Inside Gaming Daily!

Star Citizen still isn’t ready after 8 years Oct 13, 2020

Thanks to ExpressVPN for sponsoring our channel http://expressvpn.com/inside

Star Citizen has been delayed! Again. Oh, also happy birthday to one of our favorite games of all time to dunk on. That may seem a little backhanded, but for reals, we're proud of you little… errr... very rich guy! We couldn’t have got here without you. Joke aside, Star Citizen is kind of a bizarre and incredible feat of video game nature. It’s hands down the largest crowd-funded game of all time and as far as ambitions go it’s also pretty unmatched. The only problem is people are starting to do the math to try and figure out if they’ll be alive to see those ambitions come to tuition. On the upside, it looks like Robert Space Industries and Cloud Imperium are sticking to their word and are starting regular updates for Squadron 42. Anyways, there is a quote from Chris Roberts in today's edition of Inside Gaming Daily that you have really got to hear!

Amazon kills its first big game Oct 13, 2020

Thanks to ExpressVPN for sponsoring our channel http://expressvpn.com/inside

Go to http://cutsclothing.com/inside for 15% off The Only Shirt Worth Wearing!

Amazon Game Studios has just cancelled development on their biggest game, Crucible, in the messiest way possible. After the third person free-to-play hero-shooter was released earlier this year it was promptly returned to the shelf and put in ‘beta’ status. Now, Amazon Game Studios has officially confirmed that Crucible is cancelled development and the game will not be returning to market.

Amazon as a multi-billion dollar mega corporation has been investing a lot of time and money on developing their presence in the games industry, but to what ends? They started by first making Amazon Game Studios, they built Lumberyard their own game engine, they bought up Twitch, and now they are about to launch a new cloud gaming service called Luna.

Amazon has entered a highly competitive market and certainly has a lot of money to burn but with a majority of its investments, like Crucible, erupting into an unmanageable garbage fire we have to ask - how long does Amazon plan to hold out? Well, we might not have all the answers on today’s episode of Inside Gaming Daily but you can bet we’ll have a couple of laughs.

Genshin Impact censored by China Oct 09, 2020

Thanks to ExpressVPN for sponsoring our channel http://expressvpn.com/inside

Visit http://att.com/5G for more information on AT&T 5G!

Fans and critics have spoken and Genshin Impact is a hit! But… it’s recently been revealed that the game has a series of keywords and phrases banned from chat due to China’s regulations around media censorship. Of course this may not come as a surprise to those who already know that the game is made by a Chinese company - but since players in the west are restricted from those words as well it’s hard for many to ignore. China has obviously had a tight grip on anything made within the country that might threaten the notion of perfect national unity but this is another story in a long list about how China’s politics and its stance against free speech affects games that we play. Rest assured we won’t be censoring anything on today's edition of Inside Gaming Daily!... well unless someone says !@#$... or like they [REDACTED] you know? Anyways, enjoy the show.

Sony has produced a PS5 teardown video that is actually really cool. However, it’s hard not to immediately notice the PlayStation shaped elephant in the room which is actually just the PS5 itself. Turns out it’s huge! Like, really big… really, really, big. Okay, okay, we’ll be meme-ing about this one for a while but there was some really cool info in the teardown video too. Yasuhiro Ootori, VP of mechanical design at Sony Interactive Entertainment took the entire PlayStation 5 apart, on camera! It was awesome. Look, we can’t tell you everything in this description because then you won’t watch our YouTube video about another YouTube video but it looks like the PS5 is decked out with liquid metal thermal conducting two layers of noise-reducing insulation, and the prospect of interchangeable side panels. Pretty. exciting. stuff. All that news and more on today’s edition of INSIDE GAMING DAILY!

Is Nintendo arguing Joy-Con drift isn’t a real problem? Oct 07, 2020

Thanks to ExpressVPN for sponsoring our channel http://expressvpn.com/inside

Go to http://manscaped.com and use code INSIDE20 to get 20% off and free shipping!

Joy-Con drift has plagued Nintendo Switch owners since the console’s release over three years ago back in March of 2017. However, even after apologizing about the issue internally to investors Nintendo’s official and public stance on the very well-known and widespread hardware defect is it, “isn’t a real a problem.”

At least that’s what Nintedo lawyers are arguing based on the prosecuting firm fighting the case in arbitration. There are probably hundreds of videos on the internet demonstrating Joy-Con drift and another hundred more teaching people how to fix their own Joy-Cons. That’s because even though Nintendo will “fix” your Joy-Con drift issues for free some people have reported experiencing drift more severely even after sending their controllers in to be fixed.

Of course, that is the frustrating part. Nintendo already has a customer support system in place for addressing drift issues yet doesn’t seem to have made any attempt to fix the root of the problem. That means they are still selling consoles that will eventually start to drift - even the Switch Lite which doesn’t have removable Joy-Cons that can be replaced or removed and sent in for repair. Joy-Con drift is easily one of the largest hardware defects in the history of games and you can bet we’re going to talk all about it on today’s episode of Inside Gaming Daily!

The PS5 and the Series X are just a month away from launch and we finally got some first impressions for the new PlayStation! Well actually, reviewers in Japan got hands-on time with the PS5 and they were oh-so kind enough to share THEIR first impressions with the rest of the world. So here we are. It turns out that the extra cash Sony spent on the PS5’s cooling system paid off because one of the glowing highlights for the console is how quiet the new fan is. Reviewers also described the exhaust coming from the new PlayStation's ports as a medium to warm in temperature. Of course, there are plenty of other new impressions to ‘him and haw’ over so what are you waiting for? Hit play and jump right into today’s newest edition of Inside Gaming Daily!

It’s with a heavy heart we bid a fond farewell to Autumn Farrell who is moving on from Inside Gaming to join the stellar content team over at 100Thieves. Thanks for all the guidance, laughs, and unforgettable moments. Best of luck to you Autumn and we wish you the best!

With xCloud finally getting into the hands of players and Amazon announcing that they’ll be joining the Cloud Gaming family, it was time for Stadia to make it back into the news cycle! Unfortunately for Google the news is not great. Google Stadia’s most devoted fans are becoming more than a bit frustrated with the service, most specifically the lack of big games to play. Stadia is filled with mostly indie and older AAA titles and that doesn’t seem to be enough to keep the playerbase happy anymore. Can Stadia pull off a miracle and bring players back?

Puddlegate 2.0 everyone! Or… Facegate? Whatever. Marvel’s Spider-Man was seen as one of the best PlayStation 4 games by many and with the remastered version coming to PlayStation 5 fans were excited to play it all over again! Until they saw Peter Parker’s new face. Gamers took to social media to denounce this new Spider-Man saying he looked too much like Tom Holland and that the MCU was ruining everything.

A year after CD Project Red reassured their staff and gamers that Cyberpunk 2077 would have absolutely no crunch involved in its development… it appears they lied!

Judge dunks on Fortnite in Epic vs Apple Sep 29, 2020

Get $5 off and zero delivery fees on your first order when you download the DoorDash app in the App Store and enter code INSIDE!

The battle to #FreeFortnite continues as a judge in the case of Epic Games Vs Apple gave Epic a huge wakeup call. A few weeks ago Epic pulled the biggest move by allowing Fortnite players to purchase V-Bucks without having to go through the iOS or Google Play store. This got their popular game Fortnite removed from both stores within hours, but it all played into Epic’s hands… or so they thought. This new revelation from the judge overseeing the case has pointed out some major flaws in Epic’s reasoning, pointing at Steam, GOG, PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo, GameStop, Amazon, Best Buy and many other storefronts that essentially have the same 30% cut that Apple and Google are taking. So what does that mean for the “would be mega corporate Robin Hood” find out on today's edition of Inside Gaming!

Amazon Luna is here, will anyone use it? Sep 26, 2020

Amazon casually dropped the news this thursday that they would be entering the cloud gaming market with their new service called Luna. Of course if you are familiar with Geforce Now, xCloud, or Stadia you have heard it all before - Play your favorite games anytime from any device using the most advanced cloud technology ever! Of course this hasn’t played out well for Stadia and with Microsoft's xCloud service and Playstation Now already poised to be a leader in this space you have to wonder… How many people are interested in a cloud gaming service provided by Amazon? To be fair Amazon has the advantage of direct Twitch integration and it looks like they have already cleared the iOS App Store hurtle by offering a version of Luna that runs completely in a web browser. So does Luna have potential or is it destined to fail? We discuss on today’s edition on Inside Gaming Daily!

Did Activision get hacked? Sep 24, 2020

Go to http://logitechg.com and use code INSIDE for 10% off select Logitech G products today!

Some concerning reports and message board forms are implying that Activision might have experienced a large scale security breach. Specifically, frequent players of Call of Duty have come out to say that they believe their accounts were compromised. Certainly file this one in the rumor category for now as Activision has officially stated reports about Activision Call of Duty accounts being compromised are “not accurate.” However, a large amount of posts and tweets from people who claim to have been compromised have been seen across the internet and it would certainly indicate that something is off. This speculation doesn’t come at a great time for Activision who is ramping up to market the all new Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War coming out this fall. Of course there will be versions of Cold War for the next gen consoles Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and the PS5 but as of right now Activision doesn’t offer two-factor authentication and that maybe enough to scare off a few potential new adopters. So stick around, fire up your sickest battlestations, and get ready to hack into all of this and more on today’s edition of Inside Gaming Daily!

Xbox preorders were a "record-breaking" mess Sep 24, 2020

Head to http://bluechew.com and use promo code INSIDEGAMING to get your first shipment FREE!

Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S pre orders have come and gone in a flash. However, things didn't go quite as seamless as Microsoft would have expected us to believe. During the PS5 pre order chaos Xbox’s marketing teams and Xbox boss Phil Spencer took the opportunity to remind everyone how orderly and seamless the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S launches would be. However, when the fateful day arrived many excited fans and consumers around the world were disappointed to find empty carts, broken websites, and hours of refreshing multiple browsers. This of course hasn’t stopped Microsoft from boasting the “record breaking” level of interest in the new Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S. We aren’t actually quite sure what that means but we’re not going to let that stop us from talking about it on today’s edition of Inside Gaming Daily!

PS5 Digital Edition in super short supply Sep 22, 2020

Head to http://expressvpn.com/insidegaming today to get an extra 3 months free on a 1-year package!

PS5 preorders have been more than a bit touch and go since the price and release date reveal but recent reporting has surfaced that PS5 Digital Edition models are very hard to come by. Game reporters tracking down PS5 availability across the globe have joined forces, shared their napkin math, and it seems that of the PS5 retail stock available for preorder - about eighty percent are fully featured PS5 models while only twenty percent are PS5 Digital Edition models.

While it’s pretty clear to see whats going on Playststion President Jim Ryan commented that, “The ratio between the Digital Edition and the disc drive model is currently something we cannot disclose at this time.” Which of course, indicates Sony is likely trying to becareful not to damage their relationships with retailers who they need to help them sell and distribute the new PS5 consoles.

Of course, an all digital edition of a console is just another deathknell for brick and mortar shops that make money from used and physical game sales so it makes sense good’ol Jim Ryan might be a little hesitant to speak on the matter. However, priced $100 bucks cheaper and packing the same amount of console power as it’s bigger brother, the PS5 Digital Edition could be an easy sell to a wider demographic of Playstation players. Unfortunately, that means they are gonna be extra hard to find online or otherwise.

If the PS5 Digital Edition becomes available, would you buy one instead of the standard model? Let us know in the comments below, on today’s episode of Inside Gaming Daily!

Microsoft is set to buy Bethesda in an earth-shattering deal announced by the Windows creator this morning. The Xbox Series X creator will now be adding the studios behind Fallout, Doom, Skyrim, Dishonored, Wolfenstein, Starfield, Rage, all of the other Elder Scrolls and more. This news has come at a pivotal time for the Xbox Series S and the Xbox Series X which are set to launch this November and have been criticized for their lack of exclusive titles. Of course, we’ll have to wait and see just how much the Bethesda acquisition shapes things like, exclusivity, services like Game Pass, and PC versions of Xbox owned IP... However, it’s safe to say this is a big surprise and an even bigger big deal that will be felt throughout the entire industry. Bethesda has published some of the most successful and recognizable games in video game history and now that creative legacy will continue on under the Xbox Game Studios banner. Join us today on Inside Gaming as we sort through the details and count Microsoft's $7.5 Billion dollar purchase price one bill at a time.

PS5 boss trashes Xbox Series S Sep 18, 2020

Go to http://amazon.com/theboys to watch The Boys Season 2, out now!

PS5 and Playstation boss Jim Ryan must be feeling good after the whole PS5 preorder debacle because he’s taking shots at the competition. Specifically, the Xbox Series S. The console wars have truly arrived in a more official capacity than usual because Sony and Microsoft usually pretend each other don’t exist while doing the equivalent of subtweeting through press releases and marketing. Of course, early this week Microsoft came out and said that the Xbox Series S will be running last-gen versions of cross-gen games but as a result of having less power it’s also much cheaper. The Series S at $300 is competitively priced to appeal to the budget gamer and parents across the world. However, to Jim’s credit the cheaper PS5 Digital Edition is a full fledged next-gen console… but his claims that, lower priced or reduced spec’s console don’t traditionally do well, have left a lot of fans and critics scratching their heads. Let’s see if we can find out if we can parse out what the ‘ol Playstation boss was trying to say, today on Inside Gaming Daily!

Hurry to http://upstart.com/inside to find out HOW LOW your Upstart rate can be!

PS5 preorders have been a a bit of a frantic mess as game enthusiasts everywhere rush to digital storefronts or even their local GameStops to try and snag the newest Playstation.

Within hours of the PS5 price reveal and showcase claims and receipts on Twitter started showing up for secured PS5 preorders from Target, Best Buy, GameStop and others. While it’s awesome the next generation of consoles is finally here, snagging a PS5 at launch might be a little harder than anyone anticipated during these “trying times.” So...tune in to Inside Gaming Daily or whatever, while we frantically refresh all these browser windows.

PS5 takes some heat just before price and date reveal Sep 16, 2020

Go to http://logitechg.com and use code INSIDE for 10% off select Logitech G products today!

The PS5 is taking some heat just a day before its big launch date and price announcement. Sony has potentially hit a bit of a snag with manufacturing the next-gen console according to a recent Bloomberg report. The post claims the number of PS5 units projected to be sold by March has decreased from fifteen million to eleven million units due to an issue fabricating chips for the PS5. The article continues and suggests the system-on-chip process is facing about a fifty percent failure rate which is going to set Sony back more than a few shekels as they take losses on bad chips and readjust their projections based on availability. While selling 11 million Playstations by March is still an incredibly ambitious goal - failing chips aren’t the only factor causing the cost of producing the PS5 to rise. We’ll get you caught up on all the details just in time for tomorrow’s big launch announcement which you can be sure we’ll be talking about tomorrow right here, on Inside Gaming Daily!

Xbox Series S has one very annoying limitation Sep 15, 2020

Head to http://dollarshaveclub.com/INSIDE to try the Ultimate Shave Starter Set today for just $5 plus free!

The Xbox Series S will not run Xbox Series X versions of backward compatible games. A recent story by VGC previously reported on by Digital Foundry has been confirmed by Microsoft. In short, the Xbox Series S will not be able to play any “enhanced for Series X” games. It will instead run the Xbox One S versions with some slight upgrades. It’s a weird limitation to be sure considering the Xbox Series X will be able to play next-gen titles at 1440p. To make matters worse the titles and naming conventions are making it easy to get things twisted and even major outlets are taking heat for reporting on the differences between the Xbox Series X, Series S, One S, and One X. Not us though, we have explained it perfectly....cough. Anyways, keep watching Inside Gaming Daily and we’ll see you tomorrow!

Publisher lied about Control Ultimate Edition Sep 11, 2020

Go to http://amazon.com/theboys to watch The Boys Season 2, out now!

Control and 505 Games are back in the news because as it turns out, giving everyone a free upgrade for pretty much the same game they already bought - isn’t that hard after all. That’s right, originally the publisher of Control, 505 Games, claimed that if you wanted the cool new updates for the game you would need to pony up another sixty bucks to make it happen. They sited that Control Ultimate Edition is more or a less completely new build so it would be too hard to just give everyone the improvements for free via something like Xbox’s smart delivery. However, someone flipped a switch and ended up giving tons of Control owners the Ultimate Edition for free anyway… Soooo chaos ensued and now we have a great story to report today, right here, on Inside Gaming Daily!

After the Xbox Series S leak, Microsoft has come forward today with the long-awaited launch date and price of the Xbox Series X. But wait! There’s more. Microsoft is also adding EA Play to Game Pass. It’s been an incredibly long summer of waiting but it looks like the Series X and the Series S have hit the expected and ideal price points for a large spectrum of players. As for the launch date, the rumors were pretty spot on with that as well given the Series X and the Series S will be hitting shelves November 10th just before Black Friday. Microsoft even released additional details for financing a brand new next-gen Xbox with their All Access program. Pretty much the only question left now is...how much do you think the PS5 will cost? We’ll be discussing all that and more today, on Inside Gaming Daily!

Series S price puts Microsoft in the lead Sep 08, 2020

Go to http://manscaped.com and use code INSIDE20 to get 20% off and free shipping!

The Xbox Series S has been confirmed! The new Xbox also known as Project Lockhart was finally confirmed by Microsoft in a tweet this morning. It’s long been rumored that the Xbox Series X was going to have a cheaper leaner version at launch and it looks like those rumors are shaping up to be true. Microsoft didn’t announce a launch date in their tweet but they did confirm the price alongside some of the capabilities of the Series S. As a result many other rumors from anonymous sources have begun to boil up to the surface including a rumored launch date for both consoles of Nov. 10th. Now while that lines up with everything we have been hearing about the Xbox Series X and the Xbox series S up to this point but it’s always best to take any rumor with a grain of salt. Of course that’s not going to stop us from pulling apart fact from fiction and doing some speculation of our own on todays episode of Inside Gaming Daily!

About PS5's Backwards Compatibility... Sep 02, 2020

Head to http://dollarshaveclub.com/INSIDE to try the Ultimate Shave Starter Set today for just $5 plus free!

There's been a lot of conflicting rumors about the PS5's backwards compatibility: will it back compat all the way to the PS1?? Or is it not gonna back compat AT ALL? Yeah I know that's not a verb but let's make it one for the sake of this description. Ubisoft recently had an FAQ on their website stating that PS5 would not be backwards compatible with the PS3, PS2, or PS1 - but they've since deleted that statement and haven't clarified if they meant for Ubisoft games or for anything. So... back to more confusing Sony back compat messaging! Didn't we do this story a couple months ago?

The PS5 and the Series X are closer than ever to ushering in the next generation of video game hardware. However, there’s one problem. We still don’t know when they will be released or how much their going to cost! Industry speculators and analysts are pulling out their hair with no confirmed dates or prices and next-gen console launches are presumably only 2 months away! As industry insiders countdown the final hours of the Xbox One and the PS4 they have made a last ditch effort with some hard speculations on new console release dates, price, and availability. Clean up those spreadsheets and take out your crystal ball because we're making some wild guesses of our own - today, on Inside Gaming Daily!!!!

Another day, another story about the weary fate of Microsoft's biggest flagship title, Halo Infinite.

Staten has a reputation for working on some of the most successful Halo games and he’s been tasked as the Project Lead for the Halo Infinite campaign. Of course, this new shake up on top of Halo Infinite’s delay and the recent rumors indicate that the waters have indeed been a little more than rough for the games development. We’re keeping a close eye on the storm as things develop so have a sit and listen a while to today's episode of Inside Gaming Daily!

Halo Infinite cancelled on Xbox One? Aug 27, 2020

Go to http://att.com/galaxynote20ultra5g for details and download the MARK app here: https://www.mark.app/

Will Halo Infinite actually release on the Xbox One? A recent rumor says maybe not. The game is shaping up to be quite a bit messier than we could have previously imagined. It isn’t often you hear about significant troubles for a flagship first party title like Halo Infinite but it’s already been a rough couple of weeks for the Chief. The reception to the Halo Infinite gameplay trailer earlier this summer was warm at best and it was met with a lot of criticism about its technical and visual ascetic. Shortly after Microsoft announced they would be delaying the games launch to a later date. Reports have also surfaced that Halo Infinite was largely outsourced causing issues with communication throughout the games development. The latest rumor of course purports that as a reactionary measure, Halo leads might abandon the Xbox One version of the game so the PC and Xbox Series X versions can soar. Grab your plasma grenades and join us today as we jump into the rumor realm on Inside Gaming Daily!

CoD bows to China, censors trailer Aug 26, 2020

Head to http://expressvpn.com/INSIDE and you can get an extra 3 months FREE!

The new Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War trailer has been pulled down and replaced with an alternate version in what seems like an act of self censorship to appease China’s governing authority. The trailer in question had a brief clip of the Tiananmen Square protests and as a result was banned in China by Chinese authorities. As a result every officvial version of the trailer online, including the US version, was replaced with a new version sans the Chinese protest footage. This is the second time Activision has kowtowed to China in such a large public manner and it probably won’t be the last. Stay tuned, we’ve got all the details and we’ll catch you up with what you might have missed so far, on today's edition of Inside Gaming Daily!

Microsoft Backs Epic in Apple Fight Aug 24, 2020

Go to http://bluechew.com and use promo code INSIDEGAMING to get your

first shipment free with $5 shipping!

A new challenger appears! Microsoft is jumping in to aid Epic in its legal fight against Apple’s chokehold over half the mobile market. What started off as a strategic poking of the bear has become an all out battle royale for the involved multi billion dollar companies. Epic is claiming their fight is based on the letter and spirit of antitrust laws and ultimately the goal is to break up Apple’s growing monopoly of the mobile market. Apple’s response was to remove Epic’s access to iOS dev tools which is a major blow that affects all mobile games that use the Unreal Engine. Microsoft's support comes at a time in which Epic is against the ropes - though this might take months of litigation, it appears Epic is in this for the long haul. Rest assured we’ll be keeping a close eye on the back and forth right here Inside Gaming.

Is Trump Banning Fortnite? - Inside Gaming Daily Aug 08, 2020

Protect your online privacy today at http://expressvpn.com/inside.

Yesterday, US President and orange man Donald Trump signed an executive order that says ByteDance (parent company of WeChat) and Tencent (parent company of TikTok) are now enemies of the state and a threat to national security. The order was vaguely worded but data collection and data mining have been tied to WeChat and TikTok - so in 45 days transactions related to either service and their parent companies will be prohibited! This implicates a lot of very big video games and publishers because TenCent owns, oh ya know, EVERYTHING. Epic and Fortnite come to mind immediately as well as Riot and League of Legends. Even video game website Fanbyte is owned by Tencent. So what does this all mean for our precious videogames? Well stick around and find out, right here on Inside Gaming Daily.

An Activision Blizzard earnings call earlier this week turned our heads when the company's president, Robert Kostich, didn’t give a straight answer in regards to a question about pricing for next-gen titles. Seems simple enough - if Activision’s game prices were going to stay the same they would have just said so. However, the Activision Blizzard president deflected and talked about how much “extra entertainment value” the new next gen titles are going to have...and we all know what that means. Activision is just the next in line waiting to charge $70 for all games moving into the future. Clutch your wallets and dive on in, we’re cutting through the corporate bull today on Inside Gaming Daily!

Xbox’s Cloud Service Has One HUGE Flaw - Inside Gaming Daily Aug 04, 2020

Microsoft's cloud gaming service, xCloud, has been more than a whisper on the wind for a while now - and it looks like it’s finally getting a launch date of September 15th! There’s one problem though: seems like xCloud will be skipping Apple devices all together for the initial roll out. On the upside, according to a post on Xbox Wire, the service will support over 100 games at launch which is pretty cool...unless you have an iphone or ipad. Another great detail is that service will be included into Ultimate Game Pass memberships. Awesome! Buuuut it looks like xCloud is only initially coming to 22 regions around the world...oh for crying out loud... we’re gonna need a data table to see who can actually use the service aren’t we? Okay, okay… that wasn’t a great joke but you should be proud of us. We got through a whole description for Inside Gaming Daily without dunking on Stadia.

PS4 could’ve failed Sony - Inside Gaming Daily Aug 03, 2020

Protect your online privacy today at http://expressvpn.com/inside.

Go to http://stamps.com, click on the microphone at the TOP of the homepage, and type in INSIDE to claim your special offer today!

Former PlayStation Executive, Shahid Ahmad, has gone on record stating that the launch of PS4 could quite possibly have been the end of PlayStation as we know it. Of course, we always knew that the PS4 was going to have an uphill battle due to the shortcomings of the PS3’s launch and life-cycle but to hear former execs equate the PS4’s success to life and death for the brand is certainly a new perspective. This behind the scenes look comes to us from early screenings and a trailer for a new PlayStation documentary making the rounds and it’s pretty clear with some of the big names attached that we’ll be getting all sorts of new perspectives to consider throughout the history of the platform. The documentary is called Bedrooms to Billions: The PlayStation Revolution and will release on September 7th 2020 but until then we’ll be right here on Inside Gaming Daily reading the tea leaves and determining if in fact, like a river, the past does repeat itself with the upcoming launch of the PS5.

Valve boss Gabe Newell picked his side in the console wars this week when he appeared on a New Zealand talk show to talk mess about the PS5.

This Data Proves E3 Is Dead - Inside Gaming Daily Jul 30, 2020

E3 is dead. Okay well, more dead than we previously thought. New data collected by research group Superdata has shown that this summer’s online events have managed to match and surpass the number of viewers of E3’s biggest keynotes. What was once video gaming’s home for the biggest and best announcements is now a big question mark for the industry as whole. If developers and publishers don’t need a mega event to round up attention than what will incentivize them to spend big bucks on booth space and return when things “go back to normal”? So fill up your flask, , and queue up you favorite rendition of greensleeves, for the bell tolls for E3 today on Inside Gaming Daily

Protect your online privacy today at http://expressvpn.com/inside.

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

Protect your online privacy today athttp://expressvpn.com/inside.

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?

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.

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.

Sigh. Today on Inside Gaming we are paging through a collection of reviews to see just how Paper Mario: The Origami King stacks up.

Ubisoft Forward Skips Harassment Scandal - Inside Gaming Daily Jul 14, 2020

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.

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.

Devs Fight Against Steam’s Politics - Inside Gaming Daily Jun 17, 2020

Protect your online privacy today at http://expressvpn.com/inside.

If you’re ready to take action and prevent hair loss, go to http://keeps.com/inside to receive your first month of treatment for free!

Over the past few weeks Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo, and dozens of other game companies have come out in support of the Black Lives Matter movement. However, one of the largest gaming companies in the space has remained silent. Valve is notorious for having a laissez-faire attitude when it comes to most things but staying silent makes them complicit to current political injustices and systemic racism. If that wasn’t enough, the same laid back approach to community management has allowed multiple hate groups to exist and grow on Steam. Maybe it’s only a matter of time before Valve comes out in support of Black Lives Matter with a statement or some type of donation, but until they do, they’re implying that they are willing to put profits before the well being of human lives.
