Chapter 47 - The Last of Us Part II + Crunch = 2020's Game of the Year, Cyberpunk 2077 Pulled From PlayStation Store, UK Politicians Call for Action Against Scalpers, Among Us on Nintendo Switch, Mega
The 2020 Game Awards have come and gone, and we now know our Game of the Year -- the title goes to Naughty Dog's The Last of Us Part II! But while some are celebrating the win, others are asking tough questions, such as whether a game that was created under crunch conditions and a reportedly toxic work environment should really be rewarded with Game of the Year accolades.
But before we did into that meaty topic, we've got to cover game announcements (like SNK's new Neo Geo console and the hit indie Among Us finally coming to Nintendo Switch), as well as the week's headlines. Cyberpunk 2077 drama hits an apex as Sony yanks it from the PlayStation Store over performance issues, while the UK government calls for legal action against scalpers, and we scratch our heads over CD Projekt Red's convoluted developer bonus system.
Finally, we wrap up the show with a look back at Mega Man X on the game's 27th anniversary. And yes, there's singing.
