This episode is chock full of obscure games. Did you ever hear of the MMO Ever, Jane? No? Well, this week’s Gaming Podcast features Roogoo, a game that was delisted from Xbox Live Arcade a year after it was released and is available on Steam for 99 cents.

The news includes:

Jane Austen’s MMO for socialites shuts down

This is the first podcast of 2021! It was also recorded a day before people decided to invade the US Capitol. How weird is that, hearing us blissfully unaware of insurrectionists who thought they could terrorize the US Senate?

Anyway, this week’s news includes:

Minecraft Earth is closing in June
Bethesda tweets about Elder Scrolls
Hitman 3 will launch with trilogy-wide optimizations

2020 is coming to a close, and the crew talk about the absolute shitshow that Cyberpunk 2077 has been in the past few weeks. The Gaming Flashback this week is Demon’s Souls, which is a game that T.J. loves and hates. They also discuss how the PlayStation 5 is in trouble.

This week’s news items include:

Cyberpunk 2077 devs reportedly angry with management about unrealistic deadlines
Report finds PS5 scalpers are ‘threatening long-term health of the console’
Report: No More Heroes 1 and 2 are coming to PC

Comments are currently having technical issues. Will update when fixed.

The sound problems continue, while Jonah complains about not being able to live stream Dragon Quest XI; this issue is something that’s frustrated PlayStation, PC and Switch gamers for the past few years, and there doesn’t seem to be a reason why the restrictions are there.

Otherwise, the news of the week includes:

Mass Effect and Dragon Age leads leave BioWare
Halo Infinite now planned for a Fall 2021 release
Square Enix delists original Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age as S version comes out

This weekend’s episode is two hours long, but due to some software recording issues, the audio sounds like it was recorded from the desktop. However, there’s a ton of discussion of news from around the industry, not just the two news items listed below. In addition, this week’s Gaming Flashback is Alan Wake, which was actually one of the news items back in Episode 252: “Alan Wake on PC because Remedy ‘a nagging little kid’ to Microsoft”.

This week’s news includes:

Xbox hedgehog picture kicks up Sega purchase rumors again
Super Gore Nest Master Level arrives in DOOM Eternal update
