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’.
