Inside Gaming Daily – Details, episodes & analysis

Thanks to ExpressVPN for sponsoring our channel http://expressvpn.com/inside We hope that many of you are starting out the new year right with a fresh outlook on life, setting ambitious goals, and having new experiences. For us and this current iteration of Inside Gaming as a group of friends and as a channel - part of that means sunsetting what for the last two years has been a pretty significant chunk of our lives. Inside Gaming Daily will be no more for the time being and although Inside Gaming as a channel will continue on, it will be in a different capacity with some new changes. Today we will be addressing those changes briefly in one last ride (sort of) for Inside Gaming Daily. Special thanks to every single one of you who ever watched a video, left a comment, or supported us in any way. We really appreciate it and wish you all the best as we transition into something new.

If you’re ready to take action and prevent hair loss, go to http://keeps.com/inside to receive your first month of treatment for free! Thanks to ExpressVPN for sponsoring our channel http://expressvpn.com/inside  The PS5 and the Xbox Series X were released a little over a month ago and the consoles wars will never ever die - so now it’s time to put them head to head and talk about which one had the better launch. While the PS5’s offerings of a new controller experience, Miles Morales, and Demon’s Souls are quite alluring… the sheer quantity of games in the Xbox Series X backward compatible library combined with Game Pass is undeniably cool as well. However, the Series X and the PS5 both had some hardware and software issues right out of the gate which certainly makes one reconsider trying to be an early adopter.  Unfortunately, both the new Xbox and the new PlayStation are still incredibly tough to buy, so there hasn’t been any progress made on that front… but when you really stack them up which console had the smoother launch? Honestly, it’s hard to say but that’s what this whole video is about! So tune in to today’s edition of Inside Gaming Daily! *Please note we are currently on break and this video was recorded before the launch of Cyberpunk 2077. Be excellent to each other.

Facebook Gaming has joined the ranks of Microsoft and Google as the latest to get hit with weird gaming restrictions from the App Store. Apple insists that these restrictions are to keep GAMERS safe, which in practice sounds great - but then why are they so lenient with other apps that don't directly compete with their OWN gaming business? Hmmmmmmmm interesting. Almost like they don't wanna host any competition on their platforms! Join us as we chat about the details on today's Inside Gaming Daily. Learn more about your ad choices.

Yesterday, US President and orange man Donald Trump signed an executive order that says ByteDance (parent company of WeChat) and Tencent (parent company of TikTok) are now enemies of the state and a threat to national security. The order was vaguely worded but data collection and data mining have been tied to WeChat and TikTok - so in 45 days transactions related to either service and their parent companies will be prohibited! This implicates a lot of very big video games and publishers because TenCent owns, oh ya know, EVERYTHING. Epic and Fortnite come to mind immediately as well as Riot and League of Legends. Even video game website Fanbyte is owned by Tencent. So what does this all mean for our precious videogames? Well stick around and find out, right here on Inside Gaming Daily.

An Activision Blizzard earnings call earlier this week turned our heads when the company's president, Robert Kostich, didn’t give a straight answer in regards to a question about pricing for next-gen titles. Seems simple enough - if Activision’s game prices were going to stay the same they would have just said so. However, the Activision Blizzard president deflected and talked about how much “extra entertainment value” the new next gen titles are going to have...and we all know what that means. Activision is just the next in line waiting to charge $70 for all games moving into the future.
