I give my big Dragon Con recap of the panels I hosted. While I didn't get to do much else, I did go into the arcade once and got to play some games. We also talk about why the biggest cosplay group was not from a movie or TV series, but from a book.The Steam Frame has finally gone on sale - for some buyers. A reservation system was used and sadly I did not win the lottery to give Valve my money, and probably won't for a year or so, as there is definitely not enough supply to meet demand, even with

Several indie game exhibitors at Gamescom in Germany had their shows cut short due to thefts of their locked up laptops and Steam Decks. Then we talk to Jamie about security at conventions.

Sorry this took a while to get up (a month!) - between Dragon Con and illness, this episode and 993 sat in the queue to be edited for podcast. There were no live episodes in September until September 20th. Nintendo is raising Switch 2 prices on September 1st, and we just learned how much they will be going up in the UK. This is because of components, not because of geopolitical financial situations. Riot Games have announced that the live service fighting game 2XKO is ceasing development and no new

I am moderating many panels at Dragon Con in Atlanta this year - come say hi!I built the LEGO Arcade Cabinet! Too many stickers... Twitch is training Amazon's generative AI on streamers content - but they loudly told people how to opt-out, and the reason they loudly said it might surprise you. Netflix has closed Night School studio, which developed Oxenfree and the recently released Unhinged, which overperformed on the service so much so it was praised on an investor call.

Sorry bout that!The Steam Frame could wind up being even more expensive, as well as other mobile devices like other VR headsets, because Qualcomm is raising the price of it's Snapdragon line of chips.

EA Sports has reversed course and taken out unpopular singleplayer microtransactions from College Football 27 thanks to backlash from their own content creator network. Xbox lays off most of iD Software, including many long time employees with deep institutional knowledge, and then says that the team is the same size as it was 10 years ago and this is good, actually.

I then talk a lot about Forza Horizon 6, and how we've started to enter the roster update phase of one of my favorite game series. (But I'm still loving it) A bill in California has passed committee
