This week on Xbox Expansion Pass, Luke Lohr (InsipidGhost) and co-host Captain Logun break down major shifts in the gaming industry, from the continued collapse of live service games to why PlayStation's latest State of Play generated so much momentum. The episode examines Overwatch's platform reset, sustainability challenges facing games as a service, and how third-party marketing can make multiplatform releases feel exclusive. The discussion also looks at Xbox's evolving strategy, the role of optics in platform perception, and what these trends mean for players across Xbox, PlayStation, and PC. Additional conversations cover early reactions to upcoming titles, Remedy's Control universe, the risks and rewards of remasters and experimentation, and growing concerns around game preservation and long-term access to digital libraries.

Steam is the last platform that actually respects digital ownership. In an industry dominated by subscription services, cloud gaming, and live service fatigue, Valve's Steam storefront still gives PC gamers the ability to actually own their games. This video explores how Steam accidentally became the last safe haven in modern gaming—and why even that might not last. Game Pass, PlayStation Plus, and cloud gaming services offer convenience at the cost of control. Players are locked into ecosystems where access can vanish overnight, and your game library is more like a leased playlist. But Steam still allows full downloads, offline mode, and long-term game access—features most other platforms have quietly abandoned. Steam still works, and Valve deserves credit… kind of. ------------------------------------------------------------ #Steam #PCGaming #GamePass #DigitalOwnership #Valve Discord: https://discord.gg/Sju7YckUWu Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/daytondo...

Subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/ReddX... Amazon link to my mic: https://amzn.to/3lInsRR ReddX merch: https://reddx-shop.fourthwall.... PC gaming survives because Steam does. The Steam Deck gave gamers a portable, personal archive. Meanwhile, Game Pass rotates games out constantly. PlayStation Plus locks content behind tiers. Cloud gaming threatens to take away the last physical remnants of ownership. Valve didn't set out to fight this—Steam just never stopped being a store. But let's not romanticize too much. Valve is still a company, and Steam isn't perfect. DRM exists, moderation is spotty, and discoverability is often a nightmare. This isn't fanboyism—it's a warning. Even Steam could flip the switch. We trust Valve now, but what happens when leadership changes or the pressure to monetize increases? If you care about PC gaming, digital ownership, and the future of games, this video is for you. Let's talk about what we have, what we lost, and what we're risking. Steam may have saved gaming by accident—but that won't save us next time. YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channe...

Gaming hardware is evolving faster than ever, but delays and misconceptions still dominate the conversation. This episode of Decked Up uncovers the truth behind the delay of Valve's Steam Machine — and reveals why the hype around next-gen consoles like PlayStation 6 and Xbox in 2026 misses the bigger picture. If you're tired of the noise and want to understand the real forces shaping gaming in 2026, this episode is your essential guide.You'll discover how global RAM shortages driven by AI and Bitcoin mining are impacting hardware launches, and what that means for your gaming plans. We break down the current state of the handheld PC market, from the Steam Deck's stock shortage to the rise of the ROG Ally and the saturation of portable gaming PCs. Plus, get insights into why the traditional console cycle is slowing down, and what that means for gamers craving new experiences.In this candid episode, host Mekel unpacks the myths of the "niche" gaming market versus mainstream dominance. He discusses how industry giants like Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo are recalibrating their strategies to stay ahead — often by going where players are already spending their time, namely tech and digital services. Learn why the idea of a “generation leap” in consoles is dead, and the true value of investing in hardware that "quietly helps you win."Key Topics:Delays and supply issues affecting the Steam Machine, Steam Frame, and Steam Deck, plus predictions for release timelinesThe next-gen console landscape: PlayStation 6, Xbox's shipping plans, and why new hardware updates are happening later than usualThe state of handheld gaming PCs: market saturation, performance challenges, and the best devices like ROG Ally and Legion GoIndustry commentary: how community narratives, content creator grifts, and market over-saturation influence perceptionsThe evolution of gaming hardware revisions: from PlayStation 5 to Xbox Series X/S and classic consolesTrends in game releases, collections, and franchise remasters signaling upcoming announcements#SteamDeck #SteamMachine #SteamFrame #SteamController #Steam
Christopher Porco was in trouble. At 21, he was drowning in debt, caught in a web of lies, and flunking out of his college fraternity. His loving parents, Peter and Joan, offered to help him figure things out. But instead, Chris did the unthinkable. In the dead of the night, he grabbed an axe, walked into his parents' bedroom, and committed a crime so heinous that the detectives on the scene could hardly stomach it. - Sources:https://docs.google.com/document/d/1eTYeCoYyxm58DXXdoFbHQyWHlWbcH9iKGIefFcQToW4/edit?tab=t.y2yayotxnlcb Listen to our new show, "THE CONSPIRACY FILES"!: -Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/5IY9nWD2MYDzlSYP48nRPl -Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-conspiracy-files/id1752719844 -Amazon/Audible - https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/ab1ade99-740c-46ae-8028-b2cf41eabf58/the-conspiracy-files -Pandora - https://www.pandora.com/podcast/the-conspiracy-files/PC:1001089101 -iHeart - https://iheart.com/podcast/186907423/ -PocketCast - https://pca.st/dpdyrcca -CastBox - https://castbox.fm/channel/id6193084?country=us - Stay Connected: Join the Murder in America fam in our free Facebook Community for a behind-the-scenes look, more insights and current events in the true crime world: https://www.facebook.com/groups/4365229996855701 If you want even more Murder in America bonus content, including ad-free episodes, come join us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/murderinamerica Instagram: http://instagram.com/murderinamerica/ Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/people/Murder-in-America-Podcast/100086268848682/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/MurderInAmerica TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@theparanormalfiles and https://www.tiktok.com/@courtneybrowen Feeling spooky?

After years of ignoring and maligning Windows, Microsoft has finally woken up and is making some happy noises. Last week, we discussed how Microsoft plans to improve the quality of Windows and that there are already many signs of that work in various security features and new OneDrive Folder Backup changes - plus those two new direct reports to Nadella. Then, Microsoft announced its Windows Baseline Security Mode and User Transparency and Consent initiatives with questions about the timing. And now, Microsoft just explained Windows 11 version 26H1, and it's not like 24H2 at all despite being tied to Snapdragon X2 silicon.Something happened ... and that something is tied to 26H1 26H1: Only for Snapdragon X2, a "scoped release," based on a "different core" from 24H2 and 25H2 You cannot upgrade 24H2 or 25H2 to 26H1 You cannot upgrade 26H1 to 26H2 (!) - instead, those on 26H1 "will have a path to update in a future Windows release." - Is that future Windows release Windows 12? Probably 24H2, 25H2, and 26H1 will all have the same user-facing features, this has been the case with all support Windows (11) versions for 2+ years (Remember, this is not what happened with 24H2.

What is really happening in the '90s category right now?Josh Adams from 90s Auctions joins me to break it down. We talk about healthy growth, why some grails spike and then cool off, and what collectors misunderstand when they look at big comps in isolation.We unpack the recent 1998 Metal Universe Peyton Manning PMG sale and why the PSA 8 brought $24K while BGS copies trailed far behind. Is it a PSA premium? Timing? Platform? Or something deeper about collector cards versus commodity cards?Josh shares how he thinks about patience, consolidation, and why he stops checking comps once a card hits his PC. We also walk through key pieces from his collection, including a 1998 PMG Frank Thomas, 1997 Diamond Dimensions Jordan, and a 1997 Essential Credentials Future Jordan he consolidated heavily to land.If you care about scarcity, availability, and building a collection that lasts, this one is for you.Check out PSA Vault's Spotlight AuctionFollow Andy (@byebyebabycards)Get your free copy of Collecting For Keeps: Finding Meaning In A Hobby Built On HypeStart your 7 day free trial of Stacking Slabs Patreon Today[Distributed on Sunday] Sign up for the Stacking Slabs Weekly Rip Newsletter using this linkFollow Stacking Slabs: | Twitter | Instagram | Facebook | Tiktok ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Supercell's annual CEO blog post reads equal parts culture memo and a recruiting pitch. We break down what is behind the PR spin before zooming into Clash Royale's Lil Wayne halftime show as a case study in where “brand” ends and product-led fandom begins.From there, we triangulate the broader market: Newzoo's year-end PC/console recap as a reminder that attention is consolidating, not expanding; Roblox's growth story as it starts acknowledging gravity; and an update on Budge and PE as capital keeps rewriting the rules of what “good” looks like. We close by wishing the best to the team impacted by Riot's 2XKO layoffs.00:31 Podcast Overview and Today's Topics00:58 Market News: Roblox Earnings and More02:14 AI and Gaming Industry Insights03:25 Unity's Financial Struggles04:43 Community Engagement and Volunteering20:44 Game Industry Updates: Budge Studios Acquisition24:23 Roblox Q4 Earnings Analysis32:19 The Challenge of Monetizing Young Audiences32:33 Roblox's Strategy to Age Up33:02 Advertising Challenges for Under-18 Demographics33:26 Negative Margin Users on Roblox35:19 Upcoming Episode Teaser: Roblox's Algorithm Changes38:23 Supercell CEO's Annual Blog Post39:05 Clash Royale's Rebound and Marketing Strategies44:14 Squad Busters: A Postmortem44:54 Supercell's Future and Industry Insights49:01 The Role of PR in CEO Letters52:18 Supercell's Innovation vs. LiveOps Debate01:02:21 Conclusion and Final Thoughts

What doesn't disappear in a recession? Money. What disappears is confidence — and that's where opportunity lives. In this episode of The Entrepreneur Experiment, Gary sits down with Ray Ryan, founder of The Noledge Group, for a wide-ranging, founder-first conversation on staying relevant through decades of tech change — from mainframes, to PCs, to cloud… and now AI, agents, and wearables. Ray shares how he's built and evolved a business by spotting shifts early, testing relentlessly, and focusing on what actually creates productivity (hint: it's not hype — it's time saved). They get into why voice + visual is the real unlock, how agentic AI changes the game, why the keyboard era is ending, and the simple human rule behind adoption: benefit must outweigh friction. This is a practical, honest conversation about how founders survive (and win) through change — and why systems, experimentation, and enthusiasm matter more than ever. In this episode: Why recessions are really confidence cycles (and where opportunity comes from) Tech cycles: mainframe → network/PC → cloud → AI The next shift: wearables + edge computing + AI agents Why voice is the “unlock” (and keyboards are on the way out) Business is experimentation: testing, packaging, and customer psychology Scaling through acquisitions — and why “audience” matters in business Ray's best advice: cash flow and enthusiasm (and why enthusiasm wins About the guest Ray Ryan is the founder of The Noledge Group, working with businesses on improving how they run finance and operational systems—helping leaders move from messy, manual workflows to clearer reporting and stronger decision-making.

In a podcast recorded at ITEXPO / MSP EXPO, Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, spoke with Mike Wehrs, CTO of TieTechnology, about the upcoming launch of Genie 1.1 and the company's broader mission to reposition voice as a fully integrated component of modern IT infrastructure. TieTechnology focuses on making voice a “first-tier partner” within business systems rather than a disconnected afterthought. Genie, the company's SMB product family, provides a backend softphone capability for PCs along with applications that connect voice into tools such as Slack, CRMs, and EMRs. With Genie 1.1, the company is deepening its ability to capture, transcribe, summarize, and structure voice interactions so that the most valuable customer data—what was actually said—flows directly into business systems. “AI is not magic,” Wehrs noted. “If you don't have good data going into the system, you're not going to get the results out of it that you want.” He emphasized that many organizations layer AI on top of incomplete infrastructure, resulting in underperformance. Genie addresses that gap by cleaning audio streams, identifying speakers, summarizing conversations, and delivering structured data—often in JSON format—into CRM environments. The result, according to Wehrs, can represent as much as a 40 percent increase in high-quality CRM data, driving better customer support, marketing automation, and operational insight. For MSPs, the opportunity is twofold. First, Genie simplifies voice integration through straightforward APIs, eliminating the need to understand complex SIP stacks or telecom architecture. Second, it opens new revenue potential by allowing MSPs to modernize dated phone systems and embed voice-driven intelligence directly into client workflows. As Wehrs framed it, voice should become as native to the PC environment as networking did in the Windows 95 era—fully integrated, flexible, and foundational to digital operations.

After years of ignoring and maligning Windows, Microsoft has finally woken up and is making some happy noises. Last week, we discussed how Microsoft plans to improve the quality of Windows and that there are already many signs of that work in various security features and new OneDrive Folder Backup changes - plus those two new direct reports to Nadella. Then, Microsoft announced its Windows Baseline Security Mode and User Transparency and Consent initiatives with questions about the timing. And now, Microsoft just explained Windows 11 version 26H1, and it's not like 24H2 at all despite being tied to Snapdragon X2 silicon.Something happened ... and that something is tied to 26H1 26H1: Only for Snapdragon X2, a "scoped release," based on a "different core" from 24H2 and 25H2 You cannot upgrade 24H2 or 25H2 to 26H1 You cannot upgrade 26H1 to 26H2 (!) - instead, those on 26H1 "will have a path to update in a future Windows release." - Is that future Windows release Windows 12? Probably 24H2, 25H2, and 26H1 will all have the same user-facing features, this has been the case with all support Windows (11) versions for 2+ years (Remember, this is not what happened with 24H2. Shipped early on Snapdragon X1, but was made available to all Windows 11 PCs later that year) So why is this happening now? Fortune 500/corporate customer pushback on AI is one guess This is GOOD news, however it all unfolds More Windows 11 Yesterday was Patch Tuesday, so get to work. Updates this month include: Agent in Settings (Copilot+ PCs only) improvements. Settings improvements, cross-device Resume improvements, Windows MIDI Services improvements, Narrator improvements, Smart App Control improvements, Windows Hello New ESS improvements, and File Explorer improvements Somewhat related to the quality/security push noted above, Microsoft is rolling out new Secure Boot certificates this year for older (pre-2024/25) PCs Microsoft announces a Store CLI that does (almost) nothing new compared to winget New Dev and Beta builds with minor changes: Emoji 16.0, camera improvements, various fixes More earnings Amazon hits $213.4 billion in revenues, will spend $200 billion CAPEX/AI infrastructure this fiscal year, more than Google ($175/$185 billion) or Microsoft (estimated $150+ billion) Qualcomm $12.25 billion in revenues, up 5 percent Alphabet/Google - Up 18 percent (!) to $113.8 billion - 750 million MAUs on Gemini, 74 percent of revenues come from advertising Spotify - somehow has over 750 million MAUs now AI and dev OpenAI and Anthropic release dueling agentic AI coding models that do more than agentic AI coding within minutes of each other Ads appear in ChatGPT Free and Go as threatened Duck.ai adds private, anonymous real-time AI voice chat NET 11 Preview 1 arrives, but there's nothing major here Xbox & games Microsoft announces the 2025 Xbox Excellence Awards Celebrate 35 years of Id Software - Castle Wolfenstein 3D was a wake-up call for PC gaming, but DOOM was a miracle, and Quake was a real WTF moment Sony sold 8 million PlayStation 5s (down 16 percent YOY) in the holiday quarter, 92 million (!) overall Valve predictably delays the vaporware Steam Machine Epic Games is having a winter sale - for example, Silent Hill 2, GTA V Enhanced are 50 percentR These show notes have been truncated due to length.

What if the computer on your desk disappeared, but everything still worked better?At CES, HP introduced the EliteBoard, a fully functional AI-powered PC built directly into a keyboard. Marc Aflalo speaks with Caleb Flemming, Sr. Manager, BPS NPI Leads Team at HP, about how the idea emerged, why traditional all-in-one desktops created long-term problems for IT teams, and how rethinking the form factor unlocked a cleaner, more flexible workspace. By moving compute hardware into the keyboard itself, HP separates the lifecycle of the display from the PC, simplifies deployment, and removes unnecessary hardware for workers who rarely open a laptop screen. The result is a compact device designed for call centers, front desks, shared workspaces, and enterprise environments where simplicity, serviceability, and security matter most. Despite its size, EliteBoard delivers full enterprise performance, including modern graphics, local AI processing, high-capacity memory and storage, Windows 11 Pro, advanced connectivity, optional battery support, and user-upgradeable components. It is also designed with accessibility in mind, improving key visibility, tactile feedback, and usability for low-vision and screen-reader users. The discussion also explores real-world enterprise use cases, on-device AI features like accent neutralization for call centers, strong reception and awards at CES, and HP's broader 2026 device strategy across EliteBooks, connectivity, and mobile productivity. This episode examines a simple question with major implications:What happens when the computer disappears into the tools you already use? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Today, we're discussing all things gaming in China! Our illustrious guest is Daniel Camilo, a Portuguese national who has spent over a decade in the Chinese video game industry. We cover the most important titles, publishing and development trends, and where the industry is headed. We discuss: How China's game industry climbed the value chain from low-cost mobile and PC titles to globally competitive AAA releases, Why Genshin Impact reset global expectations, becoming the template for live-service “cash cows,” China's domestic market's newfound self-sufficiency, as hundreds of millions of middle-class gamers mean Chinese developers no longer need international success, Steam's magical liminal status in China as a de facto gateway for uncensored and imported games, Why gaming is a global language in ways movies and music aren't, and how mechanics and genres travel even when stories don't, The Wuchang: Fallen Feathers controversy, where nationalist backlash led to patched-out boss deaths and preemptive self-censorship. We also cover Daniel's pick for the biggest Chinese game of 2026, the looming Genshin-style live-service bubble, and how a game set in 1984 East Germany channels distinctly Chinese workplace anxiety.

In the wake the reveal of the PC-only MMORPG Steel Frontiers late last year, the other long-rumored Horizon multiplayer game has finally been announced. It's called Hunters Gathering, it's in development internally at Guerrilla, and it's set to launch on both PS5 and PC at some point in the future. Excited? Well, some of you (and us!) are. But the response at this early hour has been mixed. Is Horizon being overexposed? Where's the third core game? What's with this obsession with multiplayer? From our perspective, it seems like nothing pleases anyone these days. We discuss. Plus: Sony's FY Q3 '25 financials show profit growth and strong console sales, Grand Theft Auto VI's promised November release date seems to be solidifying, The Last of Us on HBO may not go past a third season, rumors say Starfield launches on PlayStation 5 in April, and more. Then: Listener inquiries! What are our favorite gaming-related revelations from the Epstein Files? Is Resident Evil: Requiem being overexposed? Should the industry worry about Google's Genie 3 environmental AI module? Will Colin continue to take unpredictable call-ins on Sacred Streaming?
