So stay tuned for that We will have a live stream later today So that's exciting The winners have already been selected this morning. You cannot enter to win right now We are going to have a new giveaway starting today We're actually going to be giving away a 100 dollar e-shop gift card If you would like a chance to win that head down to the description to enter. All right now Let's get into The news today we have five big pieces of news and we're starting with CD project red now What happened on the day? I did get a private episode out this week because of technical difficulties Well, I was going to talk about how CD project red got hacked So for those who aren't sure on the story essentially somebody hacked in the CD project writing got all the source code for Gwent the Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 Also, they happened to get a bunch of private employee interactions and emails and exchanges and HR stuff And they got their hands on a whole bunch of stuff and they sent a ransom letter to CD project red Which they responded to on Twitter and such as and hey, we've already contacted authorities. We're not going to respond to these threats We're not going to you know give in and you know Essentially doing what I think most people would like to see in this situation is hey look We're not just going to give them what they want Which I think was a bunch of money or something. I can't remember so What happens now is they have decided look the CD project red's not gonna give us what they want We're just going to get what we want from other nefarious places So they have taken to the internet and one proved they actually have this data by the game the source code So, you know proof is in the pudding. Okay, they claim they have it But do they really well here's the source code for what done, you know Probably the least things that people will care about they are actually auctioning off the source code for the Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 now this is according to vx underground, which is a well-known place Where you can kind of get source code for different malware and and and other things out there They're actually a really legit kind of an underground thing that you know us casual users Really know about but if you're in the know, you know that this is a legit group Well, they have said that on a certain forum and I have gone to that forum to confirm This is happening. They're auctioning off the Witcher 3 and seven point twenty seventy seven source code and the auctioning price starts at one million dollars USD one million and you could just do a buy it now, you know the eBay buy it now link For seven million dollars now. What's interesting in this source code You might be like who cares about the Witcher 3 source code who cares about cyber part twenty seventy seven source code The games are already out like yeah, we'll discover some interesting things that maybe never released publicly But what what does it matter who needs a source code? Well, the Witcher 3 source code actually includes the next gen update that has yet to be released It's also possible that server 2077 also has bits and pieces of the next gen update Although it doesn't sound like the full update is included in those files now who would pay for that instead of waiting for the Official release I have no idea But it's out there on the black market right now for anyone that I guess wants to spend the cash to have source code For games that were never supposed to be out there now It doesn't mention that they are auctioning off the private interactions And it's unsure if the people who hacked into their servers are looking to do anything with this private information Maybe they're gonna withhold it because it seems like right now the whole point of what they're doing is to make money And I don't know if there's a lot of money in those private interactions And they kind of look like more of a sleaze ball if they were selling off private interactions But anyways, that's our first story and Kind of sucks. I mean, yeah, some people can say CD Projekt Red maybe deserves it But at the same point, I don't know that regardless of the lies and the backlash over server run 2077 that This is like a proper response. So no one's really sure how they gained access There's like some rumors that it was like a former employee or maybe a current employee that allowed it to happen But those are just like unverified stuff thrown out to the wind. So who really knows? Let's move on to our next story. So my next story I want to look at the North because this is I didn't expect this to happen. Nintendo is doing a concierge service For Nintendo switch owners particular new Nintendo switch owners in North America only this I assume is being targeted towards Maybe older people like my parents or grandparents or so that might not be as Technologically savvy and aware based on the services they're offering here because they're actually offering a 30 minute live Video session. So we're not talking about it's a pre-recorded guide We're talking about an actual Nintendo employee getting on a video call with grandma with my heck with me If I needed help For 30 minute session on a various amount of topics about three hours worth of total video sessions that you can have that you can have if you need help with everything and You have to schedule these obviously ahead of time. You can't just call me. Okay. I need help. It's gonna be free It's gotta be scheduled and here's the the 30 minutes Sessions each session they have one is for customization. So customizing your switch kind of weird since there's not really any customers I think I could think you could do of I guess maybe like changing the order of the games I guess is something you can you can customize Games a.k.a. getting started. So probably introduction to the e-shop. I'm assuming or Suggestions on types of games or for their tasting games or whatever Games, this is a separate session what to play next. So you already own a couple games animal crossing whatever What should I be looking into next kind of interesting because those like getting started and what to play next feels like things They can add to the e-shop like Netflix does but anyways 30-minute session for that next up Nintendo account. Obviously talking about Nintendo accounts and how all that stuff works And all the benefits. There's also then another session for Nintendo switch 101 obviously this is just the basics of using the platform and then the final one is For security and privacy. So I think that's all interesting I think it's it's good someone like me and probably you guys are watching videos like this are not gonna need this service But I'm glad it exists for those out there that might It's kind of a nice gesture I don't know how widely use that service will be but it's good that it exists for the few people out there that Are going to need some of that help that don't have a son or a grandchild or someone else that could help them out And explain things so cool this next story shouldn't be a shocker to anybody because we already knew a movie was coming But guess what the Sonic the Hedgehog movie, you know that live action movie Jim Carrey Don't it's getting a sequel of course We've known it was getting a sequel for a while they announced that but now we know when it's coming And we know what it's called, but we don't have a new trailer So there's no trailer here They didn't release like a little clip on Twitter that just revealed the title Which is Sonic the Hedgehog 2 2 2 2 It's actually releasing on April 8th 2022 of course like every movie release It's kind of tentative it could end up changing but still it's really exciting to see another Sonic movie in the mix We now have an idea of when to expect it next year And honestly I thought the first one was really really good so give me more Sonic goodness man Our next story is actually about Blizzcon Yes Blizzcon is happening this year starting on February 19th It's going to be online only and it begins at 2 p.m. Pacific Standard Time And they're actually going to be starting off the show talking about games that are already in the works So you could expect you know games Games and updates on games that are already in the works already released So you could probably expect to hear about the outlaw for and Overwatch 2 2 games that have trailers and now it's talked about in the past Now we know they're not coming this year But still they can still talk about it and get us ready for when they might be coming and then obviously world of Warcraft You know the Shadowland stuff came out. What's next for that? What's the next content? Not the next like you know I don't expect to hear about you know another expansion pack right now That's maybe next year but to hear about you know more raids and whatever content for that game as well And obviously there's some speculated stuff out there rumored like a Diablo 2 remake I don't know how legit those rumors are but I mean it's out there Maybe we can get lucky and hear about that the rest of the day Which is about three hours is going to be just a bunch of really deep dive features that actually are spanning across six different Streaming channels, so I'm assuming channels like related to individual IPs and streaming stuff related to that That's day one and then there's gonna be a second day, which is basically just a giant Q&A session And all this is gonna be happening on Twitch and or YouTube they're gonna have streams on both So that I think that's really really cool I'm not gonna live stream the entirety of the event. Maybe you will stream the very beginning Where it has the initial announcements, but we'll see I'm not positive that that's even gonna be something I decided to do we'll cover it of course right here on Prime News You will get all the news all the big news from it, but yeah That just needed to let you know what's happening for any of you Blizzard fans out there our last story is about play station 5 scalpers So Forbes put out an article where they talked to I don't know dozens hundreds of scalpers including some running major scalping organizations that create the bots and all that and apparently PlayStation 5 scalpers are tired of the reputation they have as they don't think they're actually the villain They think they're the hero. That's right folks scalpers think they are heroes They are just helping out the everyday man I have a hard time wrapping my mind around like how you come to that logical conclusion to justify what's happening Justify bots, but anyways, we have a lot of quotes here so The quotes in general come from a whole bunch of people this first set of quotes actually comes from Jordan who? Co-founded a place called the lab so it says there seems to be a lot of bad press on this Incredibly valuable industry, and I do not feel that it is justified all we are acting is as a middleman For limited quantity items said Jordan who co-founded the lab a private group that advises paying users on how to scalp also known as a cook group Essentially every business resells their products Tesco for example buys milk from farmers for 26 pence or so per liter and sells it for upwards of 70 pence per liter No one ever seems to complain to the extent that they are currently doing towards ourselves The backgush from Amory gamers has led to death threats. By the way, don't No death threats are never okay even in situations like this. No But he said he reported those to the police this comes from a different person Says we do a lot for charity as well. I myself or collectively as a group donate the charity almost monthly At this point most notably over the past month We donated a large portion of membership fees to a food bank local to me So the time of a hacking group selling The bot software in order to buy you know having to subscription fee and using that money for food banks. That's great That's dandy. However, when the person asks for details, you know, what blue bank are you? Why are you being so coy about the donation the details of the food bank to confirm the donation? But the guy in this case named Regan wouldn't provide that information So you claim you're donating to a food bank, but you won't prove your donating Like you can't try to be seen as a good guy, but then fail to provide the evidence you claim exists that you are A good guy. Hey guys, I donated, you know all these subscription member fees to a food bank And I won't tell you what food bank so you can confirm. I actually donated. I'm just gonna tell you I did guys Guess what? I'm Nathaniel Robles. That's from the tenor prime I am a multi-billionaire except the fact that I've donated my billions and billions of dollars to leave less than a thousand dollars in my bank to I don't know build a cathedral for people who have a lisp I See what kind of bullshit it is like you can't claim you did something for charity That's easily verifiable and something you should be proud to verify and then not provide the information to verify Sounds like bullshit to me. Well, the whole thing seemed bullshit to me because I don't know how you could be a scalper and Feel like you're the hero in the story because you're enabling the everyday man like me to oh, hey Look, I want a place you should buy my store sold up. Yeah Guess what? I'm going eBay and buy it when I could buy it in person or online easier if you did not exist if you did not need unfair advantages and they even talked about in this article Again, I'm not quoting that article about some of the unfair advantages that have how they've broken down How to order things at the server level so even when the website is not working or it's crashing for everyone through a web browser It's not crashing for them because they are right on the server making the purchase anyways They have a literal unfair advantage Compared to consumers and they think it's good. They think it's positive. They think it's no different than the fact that there are You know people buying milk and then reselling milk at a grocery store, but here's the difference I'm gonna explain the difference There is such thing as the provider and the distributor. All right As an example Let's look at video games. It's we're in this space Bayonetta 3 is being made by platinum games, right? They're providing this game to a Producing company that producing company in Nintendo Nintendo is going to take that game Publish it and release it out now is it do they need to charge? $60 a pop to recoup the cost of this game for the development No, do they want to charge $60 a pop in order to make a profit off of it? Absolutely, so think about it like this You are a farmer in this case because he mentioned the farming example and you melt cows, right? You're really great at milking cows and keeping them happy and Producing a whole lot of milk, but just because you're an expert at that doesn't mean you're an expert at distribution How do you get your milk from your farm to the people and if you produce a ton of milk? How do you do it efficiently across maybe an entire state? Well, you can let another company come in purchase that milk from you and then sell it at our premium to everyone else This is a ten times different than what scalpers are doing Sculpers are buying something that's already sold at a premium and They're charging you more to make it I guess easy to buy anytime you want Except the difference in this case is I can't go buy that milk for 26 pence You know, but let's just say it was 26 cents here in the United States I can't go to the local farm hand them 26 cents and get a jug of milk. I Can't I can't do that the difference here is I can go online and buy a PlayStation 5 for 399 499 Directly out of my bank hand the retailer money you get myself a product if the website stops crashing and there's enough stock You can't do that when you're someone who produces milk You need the distributor to get them out to the people So yeah, the distributor is going to charge a premium for that to the people so they too make huge profits everyone profits in this case You know who doesn't profit in the case of scalping The people that have to pay more than they would have to pay if you would just stop scalping the damn system I'm sorry guys when I go on eBay last time I was on eBay This is like two days ago because I'm I'm getting a PlayStation 5 for the guy give away that I just the last month There's a guy chose PlayStation 5 I and I see over 30,000 listings for PlayStation 5 30,000 that is 30,000 legit consumers that could have bought it at MSRP Let me tell you that will lower the demand of Legit consumers enabling other legit consumers to be more likely to get the future shipments instead demand is only being Artificially inflated because the scalpers are scooping it all up. Do you not see the problem here scalping is not the same as being a Distribute you're not a distributor You're not selling something on eBay does not make you a distributor God I You're not Robin Hood you're not robbing from the rich you're robbing from the everyday people That's why you have a bad reputation because you're doing something shitty. It's legal No one's the bait in the legality of it because it has to be legal to resell the stuff you own The problem is you're turning it into a business and you're doing it in ways that the common people can't do and Then you're selling services and selling programs on top of that to enable more profitability for everyone Including the people making the program and other people doing the actual scalp It's bullshit Scalper suck they're ruining happy meals They've ruined the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series X and that sucks That's gonna scalp to they ruin switches The only reason right now that you know some of you guys might even be able to get some of those red Mario switches is because Retailers like already have them in stock. I was at Walmart yesterday And I tried to try to buy one and they won't sell it to you because it's not Friday yet. This is Friday It's good luck finding one Bullshit, it's bullshit. It's all bullshit scalpers Just go away. All right. Hi folks. I'm tender over Jeff from tender prime. Thank you so much for tuning in And I'll catch you guys in the next video
