The PC Hardware Slump Is Real… and Gamers Are Paying for It

EGP 333 brings Hans back into the chaos, which means the tangents arrive fully armed. The crew kicks off with Sony’s reported pullback from putting single-player PlayStation games on PC, leading to a lively debate about exclusives, “movie games,” God of War, The Last of Us, Days Gone, emulation, and whether PC players are really going to buy a PS5 just because Sony says so. The show also digs into Bungie’s rough Destiny 2 situation, Marathon, layoffs, Call of Duty rumors, Sega reviving Crazy Taxi, AMD Zen 6 and Zen 7 “Grimlock” leaks, AM5 headaches, gaming laptops, eGPUs, PC hardware sales slumping, RAM prices going crazy, PlayStation Plus price hikes, LG’s ridiculous 1,000 Hz monitor, Unreal Engine 6, PS3 emulation, The Witcher remake problems, Expanse: Osiris Reborn voice changes, and GPU trivia Join our discord! discord.gg/extremegamingpodcast

The New Steam Controller Literally Screams for Help

EGP 332 brings Trev and Gray back for another round of gaming news, hardware talk, and just enough waffle to be legally considered breakfast. The crew digs into TSMC pushing toward smaller chip nodes, quantum computing, AI data centers, and the slightly terrifying idea that tech companies now need their own power plants. On the gaming side, they cover rumored Xbox controllers, including a cloud-focused pad and Elite Series 3, plus Valve’s new Steam Controller apparently screaming when dropped — because of course it does. There’s also talk of extreme CPU overclocking, Steam Machine storage options, Xbox dropping multiplayer paywalls, Game Pass changes, Subnautica 2’s huge launch, Amazon canceling its Lord of the Rings MMO, GTA 6 delays and pricing worries, PlayStation Plus additions, Forza Horizon in Japan, and one truly Frankenstein RTX 3070 VRAM mod.

Sega’s $882 Million “Super Game” Just Got Canceled?!

Trev and Gray also dig into Sega canceling its long-rumored “Super Game,” Nintendo sending Cody Rhodes a polite Zelda Triforce warning, and the Switch 2 price increase that gives everyone one more reason to mutter about tariffs, RAM costs, and corporate math. The crew also covers Twitch cracking down on view-botting, Atari grabbing the rights to the classic Wizardry RPGs, Sony’s cautious-but-obvious move toward AI tools in game development, PS6 RAM rumors, Resident Evil Requiem mods, MindsEye layoffs, Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 perfume — yes, really — Subnautica 2 wishlists, and a little retro Star Fox talk.

On the hardware and PC side, the crew covers Valve’s pricey new Steam Controller, scalpers doing scalper things, Windows 11 Xbox Mode, SteamOS, Linux gaming, and Microsoft suddenly realizing Valve might be eating its lunch.
