Windows 12: Now With Optional… Everything?

About this episode

The episode discusses gaming hardware, rumors about Windows 12, and various game titles.

Episode 322 of the Extreme Gaming Podcast is packed with gaming goodness. The hosts kick things off with hardware chatter, including impressions of the flashy Corsair K70 Stream Deck keyboard, new gaming gear, and the ongoing saga of PC component prices—especially RAM getting hoarded for AI projects. They also dig into rumors around Valve’s upcoming Steam Machine, possible Windows 12 subscription-style modules, and a mysterious new Aluminium OS from Google. On the gaming side, things heat up with discussion of the struggling shooter Mind’s Eye, the uncertain future of Marathon, and the never-ending console vs. PC debate (with some PlayStation frustration thrown in for good measure). The episode wraps with game talk ranging from Metroid Prime 4 to The Division 2, plus plenty of the usual banter, sarcasm, and tech tangents along the way. discord.gg/extremegamingpodcast
