The GamesIndustry.biz team gathers behind their mics to discuss the biggest story of the week: the Steam Deck. With Valve's long-rumoured Switch-like handheld gaming PC finally unveiled, we discuss our reactions to the reveal and who the audience for this device might be. We also explore the possibilities for indie developers -- or indeed any developers -- and the potential for Steam Deck to introduce a new route into the PC games market in a way that has not been seen in years. In the last segment of this week's show, Brendan offers a breakdown of this year's report on the use of conflict minerals in the games industry. You can find the full report here.  Title music by Thomas Marchant. Episode mastered by Thomas Quillfeldt.

This week, Brendan and James are joined by Michael Varner, director of executive compensation research at CtW Investment Group, to discuss recent developments in the world of AAA publishing. Earlier this month, Activision delayed its say-on-pay vote at the request of shareholders amid an ongoing campaign by CtW and other parties to persuade shareholders to vote against compensation proposals for its biggest execs, including CEO Bobby Kotick. That vote was later passed with 54% approval -- an all-time company low -- meaning Kotick and co will continue to receive what CtW describes as "outsized equity pay" Meanwhile, Electronic Arts recently unveiled several changes to its executive compensation program -- although CEO Andrew Wilson still stands to receive $39.2 million, an increase of 83% year-on-year. Our guest helps us dive into all this and more as we try to better understand these companies' justification for executives' more than generous compensation. Title music by Thomas Marchant.

For this Sound of Play Extra, Thomas Quillfeldt spoke to Hades audio director and composer Darren Korb. Since 2011's Bastion, the small, stable team at Supergiant Games have been putting out distinctive, emotive, aesthetically rich games. While their second and third games Transistor and Pyre garnered plenty of praise, they were somewhat headier than what came next.Launched in early access in 2018, the action roguelike Hades saw its 1.0 release in 2020 marked by rave reviews. The game’s run-based design brought in new fans to the genre thanks to impeccable storytelling, character design and voice acting. Unsurprisingly, Hades has been nominated for, and won a bunch of industry awards; and appeared on, and often topped Game of the Year lists everywhere.Like a mad musical scientist, Korb has been fusing genres to make all of Supergiant’s soundtracks stand out from the crowd. For Hades, his blend of ‘Mediterranean prog rock Halloween music’ has especially hit home with fans — a truly riff-tastic triumph of a score. http://media.blubrry.com/caneandrinse/caneandrinse.com/sound/sound_of_play_extra_darren_korb.mp3   Music featured in this podcast by Darren Korb unless otherwise credited:1.

In our newest B-side, Video Game Grooves' good buddy, good interviewer, and all-around good egg Thomas Quillfeldt spends a quality hour with Laced Records' frequent contributing audio engineer and vinyl mastering wizard Joe Caithness. The two discuss Joe's roots in audio work, the nature of vinyl mastering (how do you get two stereo tracks out of one needle, anyway?), the process of keeping those pesky contaminants off your records, and a little bit of his relationship with video games. Please enjoy! Thanks to Tom and Joe! And, congratulations to Joe, his beautiful new bride, and his blushing new website. @laced_records, @tquillfeldt, @joecaithness http://www.joecaithnessmastering.com/ Outro: "False God" - The Talos Principle, by Damjan Mravunac

Video Game Grooves is proud to present our first B-side production: an audio interview between friend-of-the-show Thomas Quillfeldt and artist/musician Niklas "El Huervo" Åkerblad. El Huervo is known for his musical compositions in Hotline Miami as well as his prolific work on his own music, but most recently the vinyl-collecting community will know him for the artwork he's done for the Laced Records release of Absolver. In the interview, Tom and Niklas discuss his colorful artistic stylings, how he came to work on the project, and what it's like to be a collaborator on the Austin Wintory soundtrack with RZA from The Wu-Tang Clan. We heartily invite you to dive into the Laced Records deep dive into the art and production of the Absolver vinyl at the Laced Records blog. (That's one amazing gif! -J) In the meantime, watch this space for your regularly-scheduled podcast! Thanks for listening! Twitter Links: @TQuillfeldt (Tom) @ElHuervo (Niklas)
