Join us on Episode 49 of Plugged as we explore the latest controversies, surprises, and delicious updates in the gaming and tech world!
First, we dive into the disappointing launch of Concord, the latest addition to the hero shooter genre. Despite nearly eight years of development and significant hype, the game has failed to attract even 700 concurrent players on Steam. We discuss the possible reasons behind this flop, including the oversaturation of hero shooters, unappealing character designs, and a hefty $40 price tag that has turned many players away.
Next, we check in on the ongoing issues with Star Wars Outlaws and Escape From Tarkov. Both games have been plagued by bugs and controversial updates, leading to player frustration. We also explore the bizarre bug in Tarkov where dying from a cultist knife poison could lock players out of their accounts, and the subsequent fixes that have only created more problems.
In a surprising move, Twitch has significantly increased the price of mobile subscriptions from $5.99 to $7.99, citing the need to cover app store fees. We delve into the community's reaction and the impact on streamers' revenue.
Meanwhile, Wendy's has launched a new line of Saucy Nuggets, with flavors like Spicy Ghost Pepper and Garlic Parm, posing a real challenge to Slummy's tummy.
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 streaming service clause sparked massive backlash, leading them to back down.
In legal news, a Texas judge has blocked the FTC's ban on noncompete agreements, a decision that could have significant implications for workers nationwide.
Finally, we discuss Google's latest move to kill the popular adblocker uBlock Origin through a Chrome update, which will likely degrade the user experience for many.
Tune in for all this and more as we break down the biggest stories impacting gamers and tech enthusiasts alike!
