ScrubVerse Podcast

We had to censor the title for iTunes.

Capcom hates OnlyFans creators who cosplay their characters, which sucks because I'm just trying to more Juri "content". Top Hat Studios refuses to censor their game and pushes back against detractors who claim their game is too pornographic content, Koei Tecmo sues man for selling questionable Dead or Alive content, we finally see the KOFXV trailer, and Kenny Omega makes moves to rebuild the Bullet Club. Stay tuned!

Did you know there's an underground competitive Metroid Prime Hunters scene? Neither did we.

Anyway, CD Projeckt practices self-immolation and could face a massive class action lawsuit for the disasterpiece that is Cyberpunk 2077. There's literally too much stuff going on with the game to cover here, so I encourage you to jump into this week's episode for the TL;DR. Plus, Corey finally finds a Star Wars game that he actually enjoys and Chris starts his own Hostess Club.

Also, Bioware continues to crumble with more leadership departures, Corey is literally brought to tears with laughter from the Monster Hunter movie backlash in China, and Microsoft pulls yet another bold acquisition with Smash.gg. Oh, and Nintendo is on yet another rampage of shutting down tournament streams, ensuring that they have zero connection with their fan base. We also discuss our weeks, INTERESTING questions from the community, and our upcoming gaming sessions!
