Social Media Check-In

This week on Checkpoint XP:
(0:00) XBox Game Stream
COVID-19 has axed the major gaming shows this year. With no E3 this June, XBox is running a series of streams over the summer. The first one was held last week, and they've apparently forgotten what gameplay footage means.
(12:00)  Is Overwatch League in trouble?

(24:00) Streets of Rage 4
James dove head first into Streets of Rage 4 over the weekend and can't help but feel the women are over-sexualized. Not the complaint we expected out of him.
(34:03) Pewdiepie Youtube Deal
YouTube signed one of their most popular content creators to an exclusive deal, and Weird Beard has an interesting take on why.
