* Please note this episode was recorded a few hours before Sony announced Cyberpunk 2077 would be delisted from the PlayStation store.

Cyberpunk 2077 is still on fire and today we’re digging a little more into the shady nature of the game’s release and the impact it might have on CDPR going forward.

We’re also talking about winners from The Game Awards… weirdly we didn’t have much to say about any of the world exclusives? ( Probably because Brian’s computer exploded but you can catch the daily episode about it anyway I guess). 

Lastly, we tackle Twitch’s latest update to their terms of service and its target, contextualized use of the words ‘simp’, ‘incel’, and ‘virgin’.

With the anticipation of Cyberpunk 2077 at an all-time high and the availability of new consoles like the PS5 and the Xbox Series X being at an all-time low - the stage is set for another player to have a much-needed win. Stadia.

Of course, it was announced back in October that the Stadia version of Cyberpunk 2077 would be launching day and date with all the other versions but today we’re taking a short moment to appreciate what that could potentially mean for the service.

In other news, we’re talking about next-gen scalpers still being shady, estimating PS5 and Xbox Series X sales numbers, and scratching our heads at Nintendo’s artificial scarcity tactics. Also, get ready for an extended listener questions segment because that’s what we have got in store for you on today’s episode of the Inside Gaming Podcast!
