We're paying our condolences to a literal pillar in the Smash Community, Minecraft Steve's juicy tubesteak. Yes, after only a single, short-lived patch - Nintendo made the move to circumcize our buildy-boy. Also, stick around for details on the wild DMCA strikes hitting Twitch Streamers, new arguments in the debate on whether Streamers should be paying developers to play their games, and the absolute joke that is Midwestern healthcare.

What is it? Amazon Luma? Luna? Moon Moon? Anyway, Amazon is starting their own streaming service to compete with Microsoft's Project xCloud and the dead-on-arrival Stadia. Tokyo Game Show also took place this weekend, yet it failed to show anything very promising. Maybe some Metal Gear Solid Remake rumors will get you excited for Konami again... Oh and Microsoft bought Fallout 76, so it's officially their problem now.

Chris talks about his return to streaming while the guys discuss Facebook screwing over their VR customers, Capcom "kind of" punishing Punk for his behavior at the CPT, and a light review of The Boys.
