Summary

Feff joins Xwater and Jaku this week to bring us a some leaks and just generaly weird news. Capcom has been attacked with ransomware, and are being extorted for $11 million. Never negotiate with terrorists! Hopefully they can get through this with as little damage as possible. The Watch Dogs Legion source code was leaked. They had been threatened with this before, and told to release the game early, but they didn't. The threat came to fruition though. Sega sold 81% of Sega Entertainment, the arcade division, so another company, Genda. This shouldn't effect Sonic, or the franchises we love, but it's mostly due to covid-19. It's hitting everyone pretty hard. Twitch has taken a stand against uBlock Origin. If you use it, Twitch is restricting your stream to 480p. Is this the way you stand up to adblockers? Or, does it just push people to leave your site? This week's Hot Take is about Pokimane. She has decided to limit the maximum donation you can make to $5. She one of the platforms top streamers, and has decided she doesn't need more than what she's getting. It's a cool move, but what does that mean for other streamers? WE NOW HAVE A PATREON!
