In this episode of the NickMoses05 Gaming Podcast, Nick introduces a brand-new segment — Nick’s Gaming Checkpoint — a rapid-fire breakdown of what’s happening across the gaming industry right now.

This week’s checkpoint covers major developments shaping the future of gaming, including widespread developer layoffs, growing support for unionization, labor strikes at major studios, mounting legal pressure on digital storefronts, and the rising backlash against generative AI in game development.

Nick also breaks down the expanding Nintendo Switch 2 library, a notable dip in Microsoft’s gaming revenue, the theatrical release of Iron Lung starring Markiplier, the shutdown of Keiji Inafune’s studio Comcept, a massive RPG release week, and early highlights from the Taipei Game Show 2026 — including the continued rise of handheld PC gaming.

Each story is designed to be clear, current, and to the point, giving listeners a clean snapshot of where the gaming industry stands and where it may be headed next.

This is Nick’s Gaming Checkpoint — no fluff, just the updates that matter.
