Ep. 80: The Covid Boys Return!

The Blacklisted Gaming Podcast

WOOOOOOOO we are back at it again! Doc Nelson is back from having the vid and it is business as usual. Although at the time of this recording there wasn't much in the news side of the gaming industry. ASMR Meta seems to really be taking off on twitch, you know, giving blowies to questionable shaped mics on stream and such. A Twitch streamer is taking quite the wave of flak after her ASMR stream showed her throating a microphone. Which sparked the conversation of why does Twitch let those things fly, but very minor incidents result in harsh punishment? EA blames not only COVID but Halo Infinite for the failure of Battlefield 2042. EA responded to this by saying they actually didn't, and that there were other factors to it's failure. Such as issues with the engine and other development problems. Nintendo announced they are taking down the Wii-U and DS stores in the coming months, leaving the community wondering what is Nintendo's plan for making classic titles accessible. As of now, Nintendo has no plans to making any Wii-U and DS games available after Spring of 2023. Wonder if this means they will include them to the ridiculous Switch family plan? Cyberpunk 2077 officially released! And by that, we mean that the next gen update is live. The update features many quality of life improvements including better AI. However, the update offers no new content which CDPR has yet to set a date for new content that they promised would roll out for the game. Ubisoft updated the world on the status of Skull and Bones. Remember that game? Probably not.... the assassins creed Black Flag spinoff was announced back in 2017 and has since seen a wide array of delays. Between losing its creative director, development hell and a pandemic, it has left the community wondering if this game is still a thing. Ubisoft announced that it still plans to release the game potentially some time this year. But if we've learned anything, it's that Ubisoft will screw this up too. These and more this week on the BLGP y'all! Keep it right, keep it tight and we will see you next week!
