On this episode of the Downloadable Gaming Podcast, we talk about how the console wars is officially dead and how the whole Tfue and FaZe issue shines a light on bad contracts in sports. 

The console wars has always been the biggest war between Playstation, Xbox, and Nintendo products. The years have seen great battles such as the PS3, Xbox 360, and the Wii. But throughout the past few years the focus of these console makers has gone from directly competing with one another to revolutionizing how we play games in a way that their competition is not going in. This on top of the recent partnership between Sony and Microsoft has shown us that the console wars has died and a new competition has taken over.

Tfue suing FaZe for a predatory contract shines a light on how bad first year contracts are. This is an issue that happens in all sports and now we see it in eSports. This contract that Tfue is suing FaZe over is the definition of predatory and is something that takes advantage of a young player.

On this episode of the Downloadable Gaming Podcast we discuss the mistakes found on Game of Thrones, possible leaks for Watchdogs 3 and finding out how much streamers get paid in an hour.

Earlier in season 8 of Game of Thrones, fans roasted the show and HBO on Twitter for a coffee cup that was left on set and wound up broadcasted in the final cut. Now on the series finale of the hit show, another mistake has been made as you can find a plastic water bottle behind one of the actors feet towards the end of the episode.

We've been getting subtle hints that Ubisoft is releasing a third game in the Watchdogs series. The open world hacking game has been caught on Twitter with a profile named @Watchdogs_UK, hinting that the third installment of the game will take place in the United Kingdom. Pair that with a screenshot that seemed to leak the setting and storyline of Watchdogs 3, along with Ubisoft announcing that three more AAA games will be announced soon, and we got teases for a new Watchdogs game in the works.

Have you ever wondered how much publishers offer streamers to broadcast their games before launch? Articles online point that streamers who can gather an audience of around 15,000 people at one time during a stream can make around the mid five figures PER HOUR.

On This episode of the Downloadable Gaming Podcast we recap the stories that took place over the weekend.

Red Dead Online players have been reporting that piles of dead and burnt horses can be found throughout the game outside of major towns such as Valentine. This had led to not only something that is visually bothersome, but also causing performance issues such as frame rate drops and server disconnections. The potential cause of this problem is a duplication glitch that people in Red Dead Online have been using in order to duplicate the amount of fish they caught in their inventory. The issue has been brought up to Rockstar, but there hasn't been any confirmation that this issue has been fixed.

Activision is breaking their normal Call of Duty cycle, opting to scrap Sledgehammer's scheduled 2020 title and put Treyarch's Black Ops 5 to release in 2020. This is caused after some tension between Sledgehammer Games and Raven, the studio assisting with Sledgehammer's game. Now both of these companies will be assisting with the campaign for Black Ops 5 and this also gives Treyarch only two years before their game is set to be released.

Sony and Microsoft are working together! The two gaming giants have agreed to work together on a cloud based gaming service that is suppose to make it more enjoyable for gamers like us. But are they really doing it for us? Or because Google is right around the corner from releasing their own cloud based service?

On episode 6 of the Downloadable Gaming Podcast we talk about the fact that the roles of "casual" and "hardcore gamers no longer exists, Netflix will have a panel on this years E3, and we will be getting a new Mortal Kombat movie.

Over the past few decades there used to be only two segments of gamers in the world. You were either considered a hardcore gamer; someone who spends a significant amount of money and time to video games. Or you were a casual gamer, someone who spent some money and time towards gaming. But recently those roles have changed thanks to the emergence of streaming and eSports. Now we have eight different segmentation from the hardcore of gamers who spend thousands on their PC, to those who would rather sit on the couch and watch an eSports event or someone elses Twitch stream.

In a funny, yet painfully scripted, conversation. E3 and Netflix announced that the streaming giant will indeed have its own panel during the June convention. The theme of Netflix's panel would be bringing our favorite Original Series' to video games. While we do not know any other series besides Stranger Things that will become a game, it will be interesting to see what Netflix has up its sleeve.

We haven't had a Mortal Kombat movie since the original film back in 1995. That will be changing according to numerous tweets pointing to the biggest film production in Australia will be a remake of the Mortal Kombat Movie. Not only that, but James Wan; director of Aquaman, will be coming onto the project as a producer.

On episode 5 of the Downloadable Gaming Podcast we talk about an incident one movie theater made in Canada that scared dozens of children.

A movie theater in Quebec mistakenly showed The Curse of La Llorena to a theater full of fans and children waiting to see Detective Pikachu, sources say that the incident took a turn when trailers for upcoming movies were showing horror films instead of kid friendly and family movies.

Saints Row tries to make a comeback as they bring back Saints Row the Third for the Nintendo Switch. This was something that was asked for by absolutely nobody and the game has mixed reviews due to its graphical downgrade if you try to play it on your tv instead of handheld mode.

Writers for Detective Pikachu are saying that they have ideas to build up various Nintendo movies and eventually create a Super Smash Bros film.

All that and more coming up on Downloadable Gaming.

On the fourth episode of the Downloadable Gaming Podcast we got some red hot tea. New leaks on the Playstation 5, Ubisoft dropping new cinematic and gameplay trailer for the latest installment of the Ghost Recon series, and we get new leaks on where the next Grand Theft Auto game may take place. All that here on Downloadable Gaming.

The playstation 5 (or PS5) may be coming to us sooner than we think. People always wondered when the new generation of consoles would be coming and just how powerful would they be. We got some leaks that may answer those questions. The PS5 could be released as early as 2020. That would explain why Sony decided to back out of this years E3 conference. The Playstation 5 boasts a lot of new features, from the possible native 4k resolution, improved graphics card and processor, to an SSD drive that should make loading a thing of the past. But how true can these things really be?

Ubisoft dropped some trailers on us as we get first look at Ghost Recon: Breakpoint (I know I said breaking point my bad). The new installment of the Ghost Recon series has us become the hunted as we travel to a new area. A place full of vast jungle and waters as we must survive and take out the Wolves, a group of ex military gone rogue. The game brings in massive improvements from Wildlands and looks as though this can be the most immersive Ghost Recon title yet.

Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6) has some new leaks that tells us where and that the game can be about. According to the latest leaks we can be seeing the latest Grand Theft Auto game bring us back to both Liberty City as well as Vice city as we play as an unknown character working their way up to being a drug lord. Can this be true?
