We talk over all the info and specs of Valve's hardware announcements on today's Inside Games.
Price is such a fascinating factor. Valve COULD subsidize this hard and maybe rattle PlayStation someday.

I met 5 new best friends tonight, all dressed as Sonic.
My favorite was a Shadow the Hedgehog that pointed at me and said "You're a Big Sonic."
I told him he knows where to find me once he becomes a Big Shadow.

The venn diagram of people who have fond memories of the PS2s launch in high school or later and those that think Halo going to PlayStation is a huge deal is a perfect circle.

Ahh so Bloomberg has a piece today claiming that they're the first to report Xbox is aiming for a 30% profit margin?
Inside Games is the only gaming news show brave enough to have reported that over a year ago.

The ROG Xbox Ally X is a fascinating device - great hardware, but that software needs a LOT of work before it approaches console ease of use.

This seems to be a trend? Namely, spin-off studios founded by ex-triple-A developers losing funding before shipping anything.
This expansion has been costly and not necessarily delivered timely results.
NetEase previously shut down Ouka Studio in Japan, Worlds Untold in Canada, and Jar of Sparks & T-Minus Zero in the US.
Tencent sold Splash Damage and Secret Mode to private equity, Eleventh Hour to Krafton etc.

I played a very bad man in "It Only Leaves One Alive," a horror audio experience.
The script really plays with horror tropes in a fun way. Check it out and let me know what you think!

I agree! Most games are overlong these days - not really a bad thing if you want to get your money's worth, but there are SO many games now and you can understand a game's soul within a few hours.
Also PC Game Pass is still out here for almost half the price!

As a gamer that switches from game to game hourly due to gaming (and real) ADHD, and also as a person with severe gaming FOMO, $30 a month in order to play 438 different games whenever I want to, is still the best deal in gaming to me. @xbox.com @sirlarr.bsky.social @brucegreene.bsky.social

The consequences of Xbox's Game Pass price hikes aren't pretty, with cancelation traffic likely causing website disruptions and retailers like Gamestop landing solid meme dunks.

Our coverage of the Game Pass price increase is doing some numbers on YouTube, nice.
We did get one bit wrong - Xbox Rewards redemption limits existed before this revamp.
I saw multiple folks claiming to have banked multiple years of Ultimate from points though, pretty cool.
