		<description><![CDATA[We do start talking about retro computing with the Commodore 64 Ultimate - especially navigating BBS's in 2026 and how they differ from the standard internet we are used to today.
"Major Nelson" Larry Hryb, formerly of Xbox and Unity, has joined Commodore as a Community Development Advisor.
Zen Studios announced that their line of Zen Pinball software is being renamed, and that World Cup Soccer is being delisted at the end of March.
EA has laid off a number of developers that worked on Battlefield 6 despite it breaking records - reportedly because it didn't break the records by enough.
Then we talk to Jamie from OLR about why you should play World Cup Soccer Pinball.]]></description>

The State of New York is suing Valve over their use of loot boxes, possibly hoping to set a legal precedent to go after larger corporations with deeper pockets and better lawyers.

The Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack's Virtual Boy collection has released, and I did buy the $100 piece of plastic to get the headaches I remember.
There was a shakeup at Xbox - CEO Phil Spencer retired, President Sarah Bond resigned, and Asha Sharma, a former AI executive, is now CEO.
Then we talk to Jamie about the Xbox shakeup and how we can be cautiously optimistic - IF they learn from their mistakes.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At the Sony State of Play, there was a new Digital Eclipse collection released for Rayman's 30th Anniversary - and I didn't get it on launch, going back on my word that their collections were now day one purchases.
Steam Decks are now out of stock and Valve doesn't know when they'll be able to manufacture more. This is most likely because of the RAM shortage because AI companies have already ordered more RAM than factories can produce right now.
Because of this, the Steam Machine and Steam Frame are also delayed and will not launch in the first quarter of 2026 like originally announced.
Riot Games has laid off the majority of the team that built 2KXO two weeks after the game left early access. What is the actual plan for live service games to keep their teams after releasing the core product?
Then we talk to Jamie at OLR about the new Stern Pinball release - Pokemon.]]></description>

There is a class action lawsuit in the UK against Valve over their 30% fee on every transaction, and I explain why Valve is the target right now and not any of the other storefronts that also have a 30% fee.
Sony has patented a controller that has movable buttons on a touchscreen, and I talk about why it will be great as an option, but not a replacement for tactile buttons.
Then we talk to OLR about accessible controllers.]]></description>

A VR mod for Cyberpunk 2077 was removed due to CD Projekt Red not allowing the modder to charge money for it.
Ubisoft cancels six games and delays seven others in order to concentrate on what they think players want.

An Alternate Reality Game released on Steam in 2018 recently got a lot of negative reviews for being "too hard" because apparently younger people can't send an email correctly.
Meta has exited the VR Gaming business, shutting down three of its VR gaming studio acquisitions.
Meta is also refocusing its remaining VR studios to be more AI and wearable devices focused, rather than with VR.

Once Upon A Katamari is a new entry in my favorite game series, and reviewers love it but there's an aspect of it I'm not as much a fan of.
Microsoft has told the Xbox division that they must make 30% profit margins, something that no game company has been able to do. This explains why Xbox has made the decisions they have made for the past year.
Then we talk about how Microsoft has opted all users of the Xbox Game Bar on PC into a Microsoft Copilot feature that periodically takes screenshots of your gameplay and sends it to their AI for learning - even if it's a game you're developing and under NDA.]]></description>

Hollow Knight: Silksong released and broke the internet - and maybe makes a great case as for why digital preorders should actually be a thing.
Some indie developers are upset at Silksong's $20 price tag because they can't afford to sell their game for $20 and it isn't as feature rich as Silksong.

Sony has raised the price of all models of the PS5 by $50 in the USA due to the tariffs.
Gamestop made a PR move saying they would cover the difference if you traded in a last gen console - but that deal was only for 24 hours.
Steam now calculates the review score based on reviews in your spoken language to prevent review bombing from other territories - but they give you the option to go back to including all reviews.

Nintendo is raising hardware prices of OG Switch hardware and some Switch 2 accessories, but not that of the Switch 2 - yet.

		<description><![CDATA[I was at MomoCon working with the Momentum 2025 speedrun marathon!
I will be back at Summer Games Done Quick 2025 as a host!
SAG-AFTRA is now pushing back over Fortnite's use of James Earl Jones' voice to say generative AI voice lines instead of trying to work with existing voice actors who have taken over the Darth Vader character in other games.
There are a few games that can't run on the Switch 2, but it's really not as surprising or bad as you think.
Then we talk to Rob about how we're going to be at the Southern-Fried Gaming Expo in Atlanta on June 18-20th and also running a panel about overlooked classic games.]]></description>

Fortnite introduced Darth Vader and utilized an AI trained on James Earl Jones's voice with permission - however this made Vader say some very naughty things.
Hideo Kojima wants a game that forgets what it was doing the longer you step away from it as a player.
Then we talk to Rob about forgetting things after putting games down, and how to effectively parry in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.]]></description>

Grand Theft Auto VI has been delayed to May of 2026 in a tradition that has been happening since GTA3.
EA lays off 300 employees and cancelled the upcoming game in the Titanfall universe.
Polygon has been sold from Vox Media to Valnet, and lays off 2/3rd of their staff. Valnet claims that it will still be the quality that is best for Polygon, despite all of its other sites being click-farms.
Fandom abruptly shut down all Giant Bomb livestreaming after sending new brand guidelines making everything PG, which caused some influential people to leave the outlet.
Unfortunately, my DNS servers went down half way through the show so the show is a little bit shorter and disjointed. (I merely rebooted my router right after going off the air and everything was fine.)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Nintendo is assessing the tariff situation, and made a statement that the Switch 2 price was not made with the tariffs in mind. The 46% tariffs on Vietnam were paused for 90 days, but the 10% tariff went into effect.
If you ask Google and Reddit, the physical version of Mario Kart World is $90 in the US - however, if you ask Nintendo, it is only $80. The confusion is because the internet is broken.
Then we ask the multi-million dollar question - how could Mario Kart World's price have been lowered? You probably wouldn't like the answer as a consumer - but it's a reckoning a lot of AAA titles that are feature-filled or take innovation and risks will have to come to grips with.
Then we talk to Rob about the price of everything gaming related, even though our wages haven't gone up to pay for it.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Nintendo Switch 2 was announced on the same day the United States announced sweeping tariffs across every other nation on the planet. This caused the initial pre-orders for the Switch 2 to be delayed in the US.
Vietnam, where Nintendo moved production to from China, had come to the negotiating table as of the recording of this show, and after recording this show, the reciprocal 46% tariff has been paused for 90 days (however the initial 10% still remains.)
Board Games designed in the US are affected, too, because there just isn't the manufacturing capability or capacity in the US to do the specialty parts that many board games need. This means that board game prices will either soar, or people will just stop designing new board games.
Tabletop Game makers are also facing some tough decisions about how to go forward with their business when the only good manufacturing for their niche product is in a highly tariff'd country.]]></description>

Game Informer is back! At least the magazine and staff is - thanks to a crypto company. No word on the amazing Game Informer Vault, though.
Sony is preserving PlayStation history on tape backups in a cold storage vault at an undisclosed location, but it's not for researchers - only for internal company use.

Classic game publisher Acclaim is returning! While everyone is talking about which games they could resurrect, the reality is only the trademark was purchased, and the new company doesn't own any of the former Acclaim catalog.
There's a lot of live investigation about who owns what rights to what games, with a lot of attention to Wizards & Warriors. We still aren't positive who owns it.
Then we took a call about Jeff Jarrett's involvement with Acclaim and why that is a red flag.

PEGI has reclassified Balatro and Luck Be A Landlord down to a PEGI-12 rating from a PEGI-18, which was given because it had elements of gambling. PEGI's statement described how it was modifying its rating rules to account for "fantastical elements" in games like Balatro.
EA has released the source code for many of their Command & Conquer titles, which are fun to go through and will help the modding community greatly, but won't really teach you how to make a game in 2025.
Warner Bros is closing Monolith Productions, Player First Games, and WB Games San Diego, and cancelling their projects, including a Wonder Woman game.
Monolith Productions had patented the "Nemesis" system from Shadow of Mordor, and now Warner Bros holds on to the patent until 2036, while most likely not using it in any more games - but will stop other games from incorporating the same mechanic.
Then we talk about how March is gonna have a lot of great game releases.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Twitch is going to be destroying a decade of gaming history by limiting all Twitch channels to only 100 hours of highlights on their account, affecting only 0.5% of active channels, which apparently include everyone I know in the speedrunning community.
An entire US based team of designers has been laid off by Chinese company NetEase, even though they worked on the hugely successful Marvel Rivals.
Limited Run Games has put out a warning regarding some recently released NES cartridges that may damage the cartridge or the console due to faulty voltage regulation.
Then we talk with the chat about asset reuse and the Yakuza/Like A Dragon series, now that Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is out.]]></description>

The creators of E3 have a new industry trade show, and seem to be doing everything in their power to not make the consumers interested - which is great.
Former Activision CEO claims that buying Bizarre Creations, the creators of Project Gotham Racing and Blur, was a "bad decision".
Then we talk to Rob about if he bought Civilization VII, and about how No Man's Sky's previous expedition rewards got wiped out on consoles.]]></description>

EA is retiring the Origin PC client, which means that they are no longer supporting DRM for titles on 32-bit PC's, so older computers won't be able to launch The Sims anymore.
US spending on physical video games has halved since 2021, spelling doom for people who don't want to lose access to their purchases.
The Video Game History Foundation has brought most of their library online for research purposes - magazines, dev notebooks, and other things that aren't the games themselves.

The Nintendo Switch 2 was finally unveiled in a CG rendered trailer, with a full reveal occurring April 2nd.
Gaming outlet Nintendo Life released a "Better eShop" after a week of development, and silenced many highly rated, award winning indie games in the process.

Valve has announced that SteamOS is coming to other handhelds sooner than you think, with the Lenovo Legion Go S being the first device to get official support.

I was in Las Vegas over the Christmas holiday, and went to AREA15 (along with Meow Wolf's Omega Mart as well as the Asylum Bar and Arcade) as well as the Pinball Hall of Fame.
I also picked up Balatro. I won on my second game, and I will now retire from the game forever. (Or will I?)
Apple has halted production on their Apple Vision Pro headset because they believe they have produced enough units to meet the demand over the headset's lifetime.
Stern Pinball has announced a new Dungeons & Dragons pinball machine with celebrity voiceovers as well as a procedurally generated dungeon that changes every Sunday.
Then we talk to Rob about my virtual pinball cabinet, and how Zen Studios unlocked the cabinet mode for free for Pinball FX3 users, rather than forcing you to jump through hoops to get a free activation code.]]></description>

I finally went through Digital Eclipse's Gold Master Series of Tetris Forever, and I loved it, but people who just want the games may not be feeling it.
Sony has submitted a proposal to purchase Kadokawa Corporation, which owns many anime and manga companies, but also FromSoftware, the developers behind Dark Souls and Elden Ring.
Steam has issued new rules about DLC and season passes which are very pro consumer but make things more difficult for publishers who can't accurately predict release dates.
Itch.io now requires AI disclosure for all products, and are making every project declare if they used GenAI in the development of what they are selling.

Tetris Forever is also out now, and I give some early impressions of the games included and the start of the documentary portion.
SEGA is delisting many classic games on all platforms, probably to sell them back to you at a higher price.
Epic Games has said they are supporting the Internet Archive's hosting of Unreal and Unreal Tournament.

		<itunes:summary><![CDATA[The second DLC for Atari 50 is out, about the first console war, and it has some interesting games - as long as you have a second player on the couch with you.
Tetris Forever is also out now, and I give some early impressions of the games included and the start of the documentary portion.
SEGA is delisting many classic games on all platforms, probably to sell them back to you at a higher price.

Nintendo has launched a new music app, and it has a feature that Spotify doesn't - extending the game loop for up to an hour.
However, they don't credit the artists on any of the songs, and this is partially due to how Japanese companies work.
Sony has closed Firewalk Studios, who made Concord, and Neon Koi, a mobile game studio, just two years after purchasing them.
Then we talk to Rob about the Nintendo Music App and the Like A Dragon: Yakuza series on Amazon Prime.]]></description>

Bandai Namco isn't exactly laying people off, but they have cancelled projects and left a bunch of employees with nothing to do.

The entire staff of Annapurna Interactive quit earlier this week due to failed negotiations to become independent.

Flappy Bird is supposedly back, but not according to DONG Nguyen (who I keep misnaming as Doug throughout the entire live recording, sorry) - it is actually a crypto company who purchased the abandoned trademark and has no ties to the original creator.

This means it won't be announced at Gamescom Opening Night Live, but a lot of other games will be shown (and were shown, as this was recorded before the broadcast.)
Then we talk to Rob about Mass Effect.]]></itunes:summary>

Apparently the Borderlands movie wasn't that good?
At QuakeCon, Doom and Doom 2 got both a 4K remaster as an update.
Limited Run Games announced a new version of SNES Doom that even works with a new controller with rumble support.
WB Games might be up for sale, as Warner Bros Discovery continues to try to save its shareholders money.

Bungie has laid off or transferred another 17% of their workforce in what was described as "inevitable" due to previous spending.
A popular resource for video game translations and homegrown fixes for classic games has been taken offline by its owner.
We discuss if there is a lack of gaming news because there is a lack of actual gaming news sites, with consumers gravitating more towards personalities and influencers, while actual journalists leave the gaming industry or the media field all together.

The Xbox 360 digital store has closed - thankfully, it was still a console that had copious amounts of physical media.
SAG-AFTRA has authorized a strike of video game voice and performance actors over concerns about AI.
Not all games are affected yet, such as Grand Theft Auto VI, or any other game that is already in production - unless they need to renegotiate a contract.
Humble Games has laid off everyone in their publishing arm - yet says that nothing will be affected in their publishing arm.

New Tesla cars were going to get native Steam integration until Tesla learned nobody actually cared during the beta phase.
The UK Government says game companies don't have a legal obligation to keep older games playable.
Take Two says that they didn't actually close studios Roll7 and Intercept Games - they just merely laid off almost everyone who worked there.
Then we talk to Rob about if we're about to see another video game crash like we did in 1984.]]></description>

The 2024 World Video Game Hall of Fame inductees have been announced!
Microsoft closes four studios from the Bethesda/ZeniMax side of the house, including ones that released smaller scale award winning games.
They say this is because they can't actually afford to run all of the studios it bought.
Xbox says that they need more smaller scale award winning games coming out of their studios.
There is a new John Wick pinball machine coming out - look for it in a local barcade (if you have any) in the next few months!
Then we talk to Rob about the fact that it's my birthday and how I want to retire the running joke of me being only 29 years old.]]></description>

We talk about a viewer comment about having high fidelity VR in an untethered headset - as long as you have high quality equipment.
Target is scaling back how much physical media it carries in stores - but it's not eliminating them entirely yet.
Arcade1up has partnered with TaskRabbit to build your Arcade1up cabinets for you. Anyone who has tried to install a monitor in an Arcade1up cabinet understands why this is a good thing.

Happy MAR10 Day! Several Mario themed announcements were made, such as adding more Mario games to Nintendo Switch Online, and bringing some Gamecube and 3DS titles to Switch, and a LEGO Mario Kart set (a building set, not a video game) coming in 2025.
However, earlier this week Nintendo and the Yuzu emulator team settled for $2.4 million, shutting down the emulator team that worked on Yuzu and Citra for the 3DS.
Warner Bros Discovery has informed independent developers that published through Adult Swim Games that their games will be delisted, and the publisher has informed them that they will just delete the Steam pages rather than do the three clicks to transfer ownership to the indie developers. (The indie developers still own the IP and can republish, starting from scratch.)

Toys For Bob, the studio that brought us Skylanders, is leaving Microsoft after the Activision merger.
Sony Interactive performed a Reduction in Workforce this week, closing several studios and canceling other projects in flight.
EA has also performed layoffs this week, cancelling several licensed games that were in development. The interesting part of their announcement is how much it actually costs to lay off employees and cancel license deals.
This leads to a discussion about if games are really more expensive to the consumer or not, and if the rising game budgets are sustainable given inflation.

Sony announced that they are investigating making the PlayStation VR2 headset work on PC - which would be fantastic for the hardware.
EA Sports will be paying college football players $600 plus a copy of the game if they opt in to EA Sports College Football 2025, but how will they stop people from creating players who opted out without running afoul of the law?
Since there was no OLR, we chatted about JRPG lovers eating good between Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth, Persona 3 Reload, and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth.

Sony announced that they are investigating making the PlayStation VR2 headset work on PC - which would be fantastic for the hardware.
EA Sports will be paying college football players $600 plus a copy of the game if they opt in to EA Sports College Football 2025, but how will they stop people from creating players who opted out without running afoul of the law?
Since there was no OLR, we chatted about JRPG lovers eating good between Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth, Persona 3 Reload, and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth.

		<description><![CDATA[We start off talking about the return of EA Sports College Football 2025, because it was teased this week to be returning this Summer, and how it relates to one of the quotes in the show intro.
Xbox is bringing four games to other consoles - Hi-Fi Rush, Pentiment, Sea of Thieves, and Grounded, to expand the reach of Xbox Games Studios franchises - but don't expect Halo to be on PS5 any time soon.
Of course Phil Spencer says he'd love to see Sony exclusives on Xbox, but he's not holding his breath. He thinks it's in their best interest, though.
This goes into an explanation as to WHY the console wars are "a thing" for consumers, even if it's not for the industry. It's because of the economic status of the loudest gamers - they can't afford multiple consoles so they want THEIR choice to be the correct one.
Then we talk to Rob about the Xbox games going multiplatform.]]></description>

I visited a new pinball arcade in Atlanta, and noticing a new trend in "Eatertainment" venues to bring back Third Spaces to society.
Retailers are starting to drop physical releases, which means that game preservation is going to become much more difficult as time goes on for modern day titles.
Spec Ops: The Line is an impactful military shooter that wasn't a commercial success, but now you can't buy it anymore as it has been delisted on all the digital storefronts. (Since it has a physical release, you can still buy a copy used, though!)
Then we take some time to talk about Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth and Persona 3 Reload, since OLR was not happening due to a power outage.]]></description>

Palworld is the new hotness, and The Pokemon Company had to make a statement saying they'd check to see if there was any IP infringement.
Microsoft announced that they were laying off 1900 people from the Xbox gaming divisions, including many at the recently acquired Activision Blizzard.
Then we talked to Rob about the game industry layoffs and how hard it is to be an enthusiast right now.]]></description>

A new injector called UEVR can make just about any game made in Unreal Engine work in VR natively.

I'm going to be hosting at Awesome Games Done Quick 2024! However, my schedule changed since the 24th, so be sure to check the GDQ website for my name to get my updated times.
Insomniac Games had a lot of data leaked about their games and their employees, and there's been some interesting takes from media outlets who gleefully posted leaks of other companies that are not posting leaks from this one.
Microsoft is deprecating Windows Mixed Reality support and will remove it from future versions of Windows. Consumers will no longer be able to use their WMR headsets after November 1, 2026.
I got the Atari 2600+, which plays the old cartridges, and tested it out with their 10-in-1 cartridge, the 4-in-1 paddle cartridge, the newly released Mr. Run and Jump, the updated Berzerk, ET, and Halo 2600. It performed well for being an emulator that dumps cartridge ROM's and takes the original controllers!
Then we talk to Rob about the end of the year.]]></description>

The Game Awards were before I left for vacation, and I have some thoughts that might go against what you've heard from others.
The ESA has officially declared they are done with the E3 brand - something we all knew but they finally admitted to themselves. It's not for the reason you think.
