🎙️ PandTha Talks – Episode 148 | Steam Machines Launch, EA Layoffs & The Downfall of AI?! 🎙️

This week on PandTha Talks, we dive into one of the most controversial weeks in gaming and tech. We break down the newly announced Steam Machine launch prices, discuss the biggest concerns surrounding Valve's latest hardware push, and whether Steam Machines can succeed this time around.

We also cover EA laying off staff ahead of a potential sale, while simultaneously claiming that AI is driving faster prototyping and increased creativity across development teams. Is AI really helping game development, or are we seeing the beginning of a larger industry shift?

Elsewhere, we react to the announcement of a Sea of Thieves live-action film, discuss reports of Obsidian facing a class-action lawsuit over alleged wage theft, and examine comments from CD Projekt Red, who admit it's fair that players lost faith following Cyberpunk 2077's launch while hoping to earn that trust back.

To finish, we explore whether the downfall of AI has already begun, and take a look at perhaps the strangest game concept of the year: "Congratulations On Your Purchase!", a title designed to show off just how much money you've spent.
