Diablo Immortal despite criticisms and controversy over its egregious pay-to-win monetization mechanics is raking in the money. New reports suggest the free-to-play dungeon crawler is making over one million dollars a day.

In other news, Bungie and Netease are working on a mobile game, Square Enix delays Forspoken, there’s a new Gwent game, and Fall Guys hits 50 million players.

This week’s 5-Second Review reminds Brian of how he used to have to play Monster Hunter uphill… both ways! In the Coming Soon section, there are a lot of games you probably haven’t heard of but they actually look kind of neat.

Diablo Immortal has already been severely criticized for its very aggressive late-game pay-to-win mechanics but a new analysis has turned up revealing that it’s all actually a lot worse than anyone initially thought.

In other news, Skull & Bones might actually come out, Valve doubles Steam Deck production, Blizzard acquires Spellbreak developer, and we get a little Metroid history. 

This week’s 5-Second Review gets pretty deep into the science of color theory and the Coming Soon section is actually a mixed bag. 

Thanks for watching everyone and have a great weekend!

GTA 4 and Metroid Prime Remasters “Coming Soon”?

Head over to https://www.rtxevent.com to grab your badge for RTX Austin and get ready for a weekend filled with the best of podcasting, gaming, and animation! 

Activision Blizzard has had a rough year and some change but despite ongoing lawsuits and issues with harassment, a toxic work culture, employee walkouts, and a declining player base its board of directors has decided to keep CEO Bobby Kotick at the helm.

In other news, the Fall Guys relaunch kicked off with big server issues, the Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 +4  remakes got scrapped, Destiny 2 cheaters have to pay millions, and there’s a weird shortage of Xbox controllers.

In this week’s 5-Second Review Brian makes a really well-informed and thought-out decision. The Coming Soon section is short but has some must-see DLC content for Cup Head and Monster Hunter Rise. All that and more on this week’s Inside Gaming Roundup

Thanks for watching everyone and have a great weekend! 

00:00 - Activision Blizzard just can’t quit Bobby Kotick
05:23 - Fall Guys had a rough (re)launch
06:34 - Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater remakes scrapped
