Moon Dad and Gabe Newbot

Join the Professors as we dive into the "Steamy" drama in Far Far West and Valve's strict stance on in-game review requests. We discuss Project Theseus, which brings the classic 2001 Xbox dashboard natively to PC, and whether or not custom launchers could be compatible with steam. We tackle the chaos of the 2026 Steam Controller sell-out and cover Sony’s $7.85 million monopoly settlement. Plague heads to the moon to analyze the success of Pragmata and get into what made the game successful. We then shift to technical warnings regarding the Windrose SSD-wearing crisis and Microsoft’s controversial push for 32GB of RAM alongside their "Project K2" anti-bloat initiative. Finally, we discuss unsealed emails between Gabe Newell, Elon Musk, and Hideo Kojima, and wrap up with the massive review bombing of Slay the Spire 2. Heru and Plague would love your feedback!

Liker at det er både Podcaster (godt utvalg) og lydbøker i samme app, pluss at man kan holde Podcaster og lydbøker atskilt i biblioteket.
Bra app. Oversiktlig og ryddig. MYE bra innhold⭐️⭐️⭐️
