Twitch continues to make boneheaded decisions that no one who actually uses their platform likes. We’ll find out what they did this time in this week’s episode of Inside Gaming Roundup!
In other news: Microsoft is paying the FTC $20MM, Diablo IV’s launch was a solid “fine”, and Halo Infinite has an update on the way.
We also are looking at your comments about how much Bobby Kotick sucks, Konami being cheap, and BK not knowing who Danny Devito is. Yeah, I wasn’t happy to learn that last one either. Then we’re covering all of the new games coming out next week including Park Beyond and F1 23!
Thanks for watching and have a great weekend!

![Redfall really blew it… but is that a win or a loss for Game Pass subscribers?
Redfall is the next AAA game to launch with a ton of issues which has resulted in a number of poor reviews… but is that a win for Game Pass subscribers who didn’t have to pay $70 dollars or a reason why they should have never subscribed to begin with?

![Can Wild Hearts compete with Monster Hunter?
Wild Hearts is the name of the new EA Original Title being developed by Koei Tecmo’s Omega Force and it looks to be very similar to Capcom’s Monster Hunter games.
However, Monster Hunter has iterated on its premise over many years growing an organic and loyal fan base which begs the question… Can Wild Hearts add something new to the genre or will it be left in the dust after the next major Monster Hunter release?

![EA thinks Battlefield can overtake Call of Duty
Go to http://expressvpn.com/ROUNDUP to find out how you can get 3 months for free.
Call of Duty has been the top dog for years when it comes to games sold and money made in the FPS genre and though Battlefield has been a rival franchise for years it’s never really been close...
However, now EA’s CEO seems hopeful that Battlefield could have a fighting chance if Call of Duty becomes Xbox exclusive after Microsoft’s big Activision acquisition. Watch this week’s episode of Roundup to find out why!
In other news; Xbox now lets you play (some) games offline, lead hero designer leaves Overwatch 2, Star Citizen has raised $500 million, and the oldest active MMO is finally getting sound.
In this week’s 5-Second Review Brian contemplates what ti would be like to become royalty and the Coming Soon section heralds in a mouse game, a beer game, a pony game, and Moonbreaker which looks like a sick miniatures-influenced tabletop RPG.
Thanks for watching everyone and have a great weekend!

![Overwatch 2 will be a grind for new players
Go to http://manscaped.com and use ROUNDUP to get 20% off your order and free shipping.
Overwatch 2 will soon be upon us but it already seems like there are going to be some growing pains. Blizzard’s beloved team shooter Overwatch is going Free-to-Play which is bringing along a number of concerns around the franchises history with toxic players, cheaters, and grinding.
Get the scoop in today’s Roundup! In other news; an accused GTA 6 leaker has been charged, Skull and Bones is delayed again, EA unveils a new monster hunting game, and Edgerunners boosts Cyberpunk 2077’s sales.
In this week’s 5-Second Review Brian pays homage to one of the greatest RPGs of all time and the Coming Soon section is short but No Man’s Sky and Neir: Automata are on their way for Switch. Of course, Overwatch 2 is also out this week.
Not sure who reads these descriptions so hopefully, it’s not a spoiler to mention Brian’s farewell message at the end of this week’s Roundup. Brian has been a stellar part of Inside Gaming for many years and we are beyond sad to see him go. We wish the best for him in whatever’s next.
Please be patient as we adjust in the coming weeks. Roundup will continue on at its regularly scheduled time and weekday videos will come as fast and as often as we can produce them.
Feel free to share a fond farewell or favorite Brian memory in the comments below. Thanks for watching everyone and for your continued support.
