I mean, I wasn't there to be fair...

We talked some news but the big deal this week is out GOTY announcements!

Dylan and Cliff go at this one alone! They talked about The Last Night (and it's funding issues), how you can play a free small game every day with Meditations, Star Control: Origins has been pulled from Steam, Celeste is getting new levels and Fallout 76 is adding player vending...eventually.Plus some great questions and TONS of free and cheap games.

Epic is getting sued by Carlton and "Backpack Kid", Steam might be making Xbox crossplay easier, we have a name for the next Xbox, Discord is offering devs a pretty good deal, HotS sees some cuts, the COO of Riot Games is getting some unpaid time off and Game Workers Unite is official in the UK!

Dylan is missing, but Cliff and Adam carry on...somehow. We talked VGA winners, a new Doom expansion, Fallout 76 woes, swords causing issues in Fortnite, the beginnings of the Launcher wars and Epic vs. Steam: Part 1.Also, there are so many games coming to Game Pass. It's honestly kinda crazy. The Epic store is also giving away games. Do we even need to buy games any more?

Epic is launching a Steam competitor (and Steam is busy screwing up their own store), Nintendo isn't going to be yelling at streamers as often, there might be a new Far Cry game coming out, Fortnite is getting a creative mode and Bethesda just barely dodged Troll Corner.
