The Last Days of Game Discs
About this episode
The episode discusses various gaming topics including failed game preservation legislation, upcoming game releases, and industry changes.
This week on the Extreme Gaming Podcast, Gray, Trev, and Hans somehow start with Scotland, World Cup misery, Irn-Bru, and “getting your jollies out,” then quickly descend into the usual gaming chaos. Episode 339 covers failed game preservation legislation, a PC game briefly asking for 64GB of RAM, GTA 6 possibly coming to Switch 2, the first prebuilt SteamOS gaming PC, GPU prices turning into disaster monitoring, and Xbox insisting everything is fine while looking suspiciously surrounded by flames. The crew also digs into Sony’s move away from physical PlayStation discs, Xbox’s disc-to-digital idea, Game Pass fatigue, major Xbox layoffs and studio divestments, July game releases including Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced and Halo: Campaign Evolved, plus Rockstar accusations involving pay inequity, crunch, and bonuses. Also: ultrawide monitor drama, haggis, 3D printers, and Hans still hating AMD. discord.gg/extremegamingpodcast.com
