Join us on Episode 48 of Plugged as we break down the latest excitement, frustrations, and controversies in gaming and tech!
First up, a blast from the past: Backyard Sports is back! Fans of the iconic franchise, especially those who fondly remember the legendary Pablo Sanchez, are thrilled with the news of its return. We discuss the nostalgia and excitement surrounding this classic sports gaming series making a comeback.
Next, we dive into the disappointment surrounding Arena Breakout Infinite. Despite promises to avoid "pay-to-win" mechanics, the game launched with in-game currency purchases and other monetization features that have frustrated players. We explore the impact on gameplay and community reactions.
In a quick update, we check in on the latest Tarkov Wipe, which has been plagued with server issues and new bugs. The community's frustration is palpable as players grapple with the game's ongoing technical problems.
We then turn to the surprising success of Wukong: Black Myth, which has seen an incredible launch. However, controversy has arisen over leaked guidelines sent to creators and reviewers, with strict instructions on what not to discuss, including COVID-19 and "feminist propaganda." We analyze the implications of these guidelines and the game's reception.
In a shocking moment from the Pokemon Masters World Championship, a favorite to win was disqualified for making an obscene gesture during the tournament. We discuss the role of sportsmanship in gaming and whether such actions have a place in competitive settings.
We also cover the tragic story of a man suing Disney after his wife died from an allergic reaction at one of their restaurants. Disney's initial attempt to block the lawsuit using a clause from their streaming service's terms of service sparked massive backlash, leading to a reversal in their stance.
Finally, we discuss a recent ruling that blocked the FTC's ban on noncompete agreements, as well as Google's move to kill the popular adblocker uBlock Origin through a Chrome update.
Tune in for all this and more as we break down the biggest stories impacting gamers and tech enthusiasts alike!
