Two friends and streamers SamuraiHerc and PoopShizzle get together once a week to chat about what's new and trending in gaming, streaming, and content creating.
The preorders for NVIDIA's new RTX cards and next-gen consoles have gone live and immediately sold out to scalpers worldwide, and the Gamers have a few choice words about that. Today, we're talking about preorder price-gougers and why they suck, and if anything can or should be done about it.
Today, the Gamers are breaking down approaches to next-gen game publishing, which is apparently complicated. Control, published by 505 Games, has made waves this week with their decision to force players to buy a new version of the game if they want the next-gen upgrades. Meanwhile, Xbox has their Smart Delivery system, EA has coined the wonderfully-named Dual Entitlement scheme, and still others are bundling game versions.
With the help of special guest KoolySmiley, the Gamers break down what Mixer brought to the livestreaming table and why it wasn't enough to stick around for good. Find Kooly streaming on Twitch or follow her on her Twitter @laurelrothamel or Instram & TikTok @KoolySmiley, or all of the above. Yes, all of the above.
Today, the Gamers continue breaking down the current Games as a Service climate and why the promises and plans of Games as a Service haven't quite worked out the way they were supposed to. Part 2 of 2.
