Inside Gaming Roundup

2023 Episode 5 February 4, 2023

Halo and 343i are currently on fire after multiple leadership changes, mass layoffs, many content delays, and fan backlash.

All the details are in today’s roundup. In other news; Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is delayed, Rumbleverse and Knockout City are shutting down, Xbox is delisting 46 games, and Sony is ending the PS Plus Collection. This week's comment section analyzes the dark depths of capitalism and the “Coming Soon” section is really small this week but features Hogwarts Legacy - which will certainly have a completely normal and calm review period. 00:00 - Halo and 343i face “reboot” after delays, mass layoffs, and fan backlash 04:01 - Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is delayed 05:21 - Rumbleverse and Knockout City are shutting down 06:31 - Xbox is delisting 46 games 07:58 - Sony is ending the PlayStation Plus Collection 09:07 - In the Comments 10:02 - Coming Soon Buy our shirt! https://is.gd/u3xCtA OR follow us on Twitter! https://twitter.com/jack_p https://twitter.com/DarthBurrit0 http://twitter.com/InsideGaming SOURCES [Bloomberg] Halo and 343i face major reboot https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-01-31/microsoft-studio-343-industries-undergoing-reorga… [IGN] Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is delayed by 6 weeks https://www.ign.com/articles/star-wars-jedi-survivor-release-date-delayed-six-weeks [Eurogamer] Rumbleverse is shutting down https://www.eurogamer.net/iron-galaxys-brawler-royale-rumbleverse-shutting-down-six-months-after-lau… [Kotaku] Knockout City is shutting down https://kotaku.com/knockout-city-private-servers-shut-down-online-game-pc-1850068534 [Gematsu] 46 games to be delisted from the Xbox 360 marketplace https://www.gematsu.com/2023/01/46-games-to-be-delisted-from-xbox-360-marketplace-on-february-7 [Pure Xbox] 18 Xbox Games that could dissapear https://www.purexbox.com/news/2023/02/these-18-games-could-be-permanently-delisted-on-xbox-next-week [Engadget] Sony is putting an end to the PlayStation Plus collection. https://www.engadget.com/sony-will-stop-offering-the-playstation-plus-collection-after-may-9th-18332…

I feel bad for the folks who play these delisted games because there are plenty of games I want to revisit but can’t

does anyone actually like Infamous: Second Son? I loved infamous one and two I saw Second Son as an incompetent rescan of two. The DLC First Lightt was incredible and what the game should’ve been.
