About this episode

The episode discusses major developments in the tech and gaming industries, including Sony's move away from physical discs and the legality of private Minecraft servers.

Sony is officially killing physical discs, the PS6 might cost a fortune, and apparently… private Minecraft servers are illegal now? This week, we discuss the absolute chaos gripping the tech and gaming worlds. From Apple begging Washington for Chinese memory to a massive RAM price-fixing lawsuit, the hardware market is on fire. Plus, Godot bans “vibe coding,” Cyberpunk gets another anime, and researchers find some… uh… “disturbing” ChatGPT fanfic. Oh, and Steam Machine orders are going out—and immediately getting scalped. 📢 Don’t forget to subscribe, leave a comment, and follow us on your favorite podcast app. Become a Patron! https://www.patreon.com/cw/OffTheConsole Join our Discord! https://discord.gg/dVkKcZH2Qy #SteamController #gamingnews Theme song composed by Gardiner Bryant
