(#45) Olympic Controversy, Quidditch Champions Revealed, and Another Microsoft Outage
Join us on Episode 45 of Plugged as we dive into the hottest topics and controversies in gaming and tech!
First, we explore the backlash against the International Olympic Committee's announcement of the Olympic eSports Games for 2025. While it's exciting news for eSports athletes, the game choices have sparked debate. Popular competitive titles like Counter-Strike, Valorant, and Overwatch are missing, replaced by less mainstream options like Tic Tac Bow and Virtual Regatta. We discuss the implications and the community's reactions.
Next, we delve into the newly announced Harry Potter Quidditch Champions game by Warner Bros and Unbroken Studios. With a promising gameplay trailer and various modes, could this be the next big hit in sports video games? We also debate the infamous snitch rule in Quidditch and its impact on gameplay.
In the world of game reviews, IGN is under fire for their glowing preview of Ubisoft's Star Wars Outlaws despite numerous visible bugs and gameplay issues. We examine the role of game reviewers and the trustworthiness of early reviews.
We also highlight a quick update from the Olympics, where the US Women's Rugby team secured a historic medal with a last-second score.
In tech news, less than two weeks after the Crowdstrike fiasco, Microsoft 365 experienced another global outage due to a DDOS attack. We discuss the recurring issues and their impact on businesses worldwide.
Finally, we look at Logitech's innovative concept for a "Forever Mouse" that would require a subscription and software updates, potentially revolutionizing peripheral devices.
Tune in for all this and more as we break down the biggest stories impacting gamers and tech enthusiasts alike!
