Cyberpunk 2077 is still on fire and today we’re digging a little more into the shady nature of the game’s release and the impact it might have on CDPR going forward. We’re also talking about winners from The Game Awards… weirdly we didn’t have much to say about any of the world exclusives? ( Probably because Brian’s computer exploded but you can catch the daily episode about it anyway I guess). Lastly, we tackle Twitch’s latest update to their terms of service and its target, contextualized use of the words ‘simp’, ‘incel’, and ‘virgin’. 00:00 - Intro 00:57 - Cyberpunk 2077 is still on fire 10:11 - Brian says “I was wrong” Stadia fans 18:58 - CDPR has impacted Microsoft and Sony negatively 26:03 - Was the Cyberpunk hype like Like No Man’s Sky? 32:08 - The Game Awards 36:39 - Twitch bans “simp” “incel” and “virgin” 42:35 - Listener Questions Listen to more episodes of the podcast! https://link.chtbl.com/IGPodcast Or buy our shirt! https://is.gd/u3xCtA OR follow us on Twitter! https://twitter.com/briangaar https://twitter.com/KdinJenzen https://twitter.com/snackary_ https://twitter.com/DarthBurrit0 http://twitter.com/InsideGaming SOURCES [VentureBeat] - Cyberpunk 2077 drama https://venturebeat.com/2020/12/16/cd-projekt-red-risked-the-reputations-of-others-to-insulate-cyberpunk-2077/ [Variety] - The Game Awards recap https://variety.com/2020/digital/news/the-game-awards-winners-list-2020-1234850547/ [Gizmodo] - Twitch bans terms “simp” “incel” and “virgin” https://gizmodo.com/twitch-bans-the-words-simp-and-virgin-actual-simps-and-1845899833 Learn more about your ad choices.
