Listen "Steam Powered"
Episode Synopsis
In this week's episode, Dan H and special guest co-host Joey dive deep into the engine room of PC gaming's greatest success story: Steam. Starting from its origins as a simple patch distribution method, the platform became the undisputed king of digital distribution, fundamentally changing how we buy, play, and even talk about games. We break down the revolutionary impact of "steam power" and debate whether the platform is the present and future of gaming, including a look at Valve's history with hardware and its latest innovations designed for the living room. Plus, we cover what we've been playing, from highly addictive roguelikes like Hades 2 and Balatro, to a strong critique of a recent, controversial sports manager release and why one host is genuinely considering cancelling a major subscription service.
