CES, “the most powerful tech event in the world,” kicked off its 2024 event in Las Vegas on January 9th. While CES bills itself as “the only trade show that showcases the entire tech landscape at one event,” the gaming industry has already been getting its fair share of headlines. So for our main topic this week, we’re looking at a roundup of CES 2024 news, including how SAG-AFTRA has pulled a 180 and approved AI voice acting for video games, the newly announced MSI Claw, and how Aromajoin has unveiled its new scent-based XR devices.

We'll also be discussing Valve's newly updated rules on how Steam will approach AI content, how Netflix is reportedly exploring adding in-game ads to its gaming service, and how Kim Kardashian's mobile game is shutting down after players spend millions.

Finally, Donnie takes us all the way back to January 2004 in Retro Rewind.
