In today's Daily Fix:Former Bethesda executive Pete Hines is the altest gaming exec to come out against Xbox Game Pass. Hines was the Senior Vice President of Global Marketing and Communications as Xbox-owned Bethesda, and in a recent interview has questioned the value Game Pass provides to developers. He joins former PlayStation exec Shawn Layden, who has come out against gaming subscription services in general. Another former Microsoft VP, Shannon Loftis, backed up Hines' comments, adding that games launched on Game Pass need to have post-release monetization plans to make up for lost retail revenue. In other news, Keanu Reeves is open to returning to the Cyberpunk franchise for the sequel, Cyberpunk 2. Reeves played Johnny Silverhand in Cyberpunk 2077, and famously made a huge impression at E3 2019 when his role was formerly revealed. And finally, Gearbox's Randy Pitchford says the Borderlands 4 Day 1 Patch 'does a lot,' but you really should be playing the game on at least a minimum-spec PC, and that's it's 'a miracle' the game runs at all on very low-end hardware.
This week Eric sees the dawn, Matt follows orders, and we discuss Stellar Blade, the Borderlands 4 marketing, Gearbox's PAX Panel, and the 007 First Light State of Play! Releases: Cronos: The New Dawn & SHUTEN ORDER

In this episode, we sit down with Rick Wright, owner of The Wright Gearbox, a name synonymous with precision-built transmissions in the off-road and high-performance VW world. Growing up wrenching in his family's VW shop, Rick turned childhood passion into a powerhouse business dedicated to building and rebuilding transmissions for street, strip, sand, and race. Rick shares his journey in the VW industry , and how years of hands-on experience and customer-first philosophy help him deliver bulletproof gearboxes that stand up to serious abuse. We get into everything from working with major manufacturers on product development to testing gear sets with top race teams. Plus, Rick breaks down what sets The Wright Gearbox apart—whether it's magnafluxing every part, custom finishes, or dialing in the perfect gear ratio. And if you've been to a Southern California VW show lately, chances are you've seen one of Rick's personal builds—a world-class VW Crew Cab pickup. Sitting on air suspension and powered by a fuel-injected 2332cc engine, it's built for both style and speed—thanks to a custom transaxle engineered for top-end performance. This head-turning build has already taken home multiple Best of Show awards and is a rolling showcase of the craftsmanship Rick and his team bring to every project.

Carl-Edwin Michel s'entretient avec Ludger Saintélien, directeur créatif chez Gearbox et vétéran du jeu vidéo passé par EA, Ubisoft, Warner et Activision. Ludger revient sur son parcours, entre design, narration visuelle et grandes franchises comme Far Cry, Batman ou Call of Duty. Il partage sa vision du rôle du directeur créatif, au croisement de l'artistique et de la coordination d'équipe. Sur l'IA, il évoque un équilibre à préserver : l'outil est prometteur, mais il ne doit pas effacer la sensibilité humaine. Chez Gearbox, l'automatisation touche les pipelines, mais la création reste entre les mains d'artistes. Pour lui, l'intuition et la touche unique de chaque créateur demeurent irremplaçables.

In today's Daily Fix:CD Projekt wowed the internet after a Witcher 4 demo running on a base PS5 was showcased at an Unreal Engine 5 event. The've has since confirmed it's taking a "console-first" approach to the game, and though it may upset PC gamers, dev team CD Projekt RED has good reason. Cyberpunk 2077 was developed with high-end PCs in mind, and then scaled down for last-gen consoles PS4 and Xbox One. Cyberpunk 2077's launch on those platforms was a trainwreck, to say the least, and somethng CDPR wants to avoid for The Witcher 4. In other news, Borderlands 4's standard edition will not make the price jump to $80, instead launching at $70—likely in response to the absolute beating Gearbox's Randy Pitchford took online after his comments on a possible price hike for the game. And finally, Nintendo's Switch 2 is a hit, but a few Pokémon fans aren't having a great time after transferring—and losing—decades of Pokémon saved game progress.

Along the way Doug revisits:The unmistakable manual‑transmission fluid smell that still triggers vivid “garage memories.”Why a 2000 BMW 323Ci (E46) convertible became his worst car and ultimate “never again” lesson.A fog‑soaked, pre‑GPS road‑trip mishap in a rusty Jeep CJ‑7 that ended with a broken driveshaft.The mixtape tracks—“Silent Lucidity” by Queensrÿche & “Plush” by Stone Temple Pilots—that defined his cruising years.A dream garage trifecta: twin‑turbo 300ZX, last‑gen Mazda RX‑7 (FD), and his beloved DeLorean.How semi‑autonomous driving / Tesla Autopilot transformed his view of road trips and traffic.The hugely under‑appreciated 1989 Nissan 240SX that balanced handling perfection with driving legend status.Plus: stick‑shift lessons from Dad, the debate over cars having souls, and Doug's one rule for classic‑car mods.
