Xbox Layoffs (1,600 Now, 1,600 Later) Divests 4 Studios, Is This the End for Physical Media # 499
The big moment has finally happened: XBOX announced its huge restructure on Monday, laying off 1,600 employees effective immediately and another 1,600 throughout fiscal year 2027. They've also divested of four studios and already started the process to possibly do the same with Arkane Studios as well. Layoffs are happening all across their studios; IPs are going with the divested studios. XBOX CEO Asha Sharma even admitted that the XBOX business is not doing well, and that's part of this too. Sean and Marc discuss it all, and will this truly RESET XBOX? <br /><br />Also, PlayStation is not without its bad decisions this week, as they not only are closing the PlayStation 3 and PS Vita online store, but they announced that, as of 2028, there will be NO MORE Physical Disc games made. Essentially ripping a hole into the physical vs. digital debate once and for all. But will this decision actually stick? <br /><br />You can also watch this episode in video form on the W2M Network Youtube Channel, please give us a like, comment on the episode, and give the channel a subscribe and follow as well: <a href="https://youtube.com/live/rJxUQbtyD8w" rel="noopener">https://youtube.com/live/rJxUQbtyD8w</a><br /><br />🎙️ New to streaming or looking to level up?

With the rumors and reports continuing to swirl regarding the bloodletting that is due to ensue next week from Xbox, even more information has been released this week, narrowing down the studios that could be affected even further.

As XBOX evaluates everything, actual employees are already reporting they are looking for work. Bad news all around for the green brand. <br /><br />Sony also had its share of bad news with the major Bungie layoffs and the removal of purchased digital content due to licensing agreements, and more rumors that the PlayStation 6 will be rather expensive, and apparently they still want live service stuff too. <br /><br />Plus, Grand Theft Auto costs $80, and the special edition is $100. Persona is getting a live-action show from Netflix, NBC Universal may get into gaming, Unreal Engine 6 is really going heavy on A.I. and more. <br /><br />You can also watch this episode in video form on the W2M Network Youtube Channel, please give us a like, comment on the episode, and give the channel a subscribe and follow as well: <a href="https://youtube.com/live/WTnJuo1STPY" rel="noopener">https://youtube.com/live/WTnJuo1STPY</a><br /><br />🎙️ New to streaming or looking to level up?

Steam Machine Price Revealed, XBOX Closing Studios Maybe? # 497
After a very much unintended week off, Sean and Marc are back discussing the latest in what's going on in gaming and a few big stories from the week before, too. <br /><br />Valve not only revealed the Steam Machine pricing at an incredible $1049 (USD) for the 512GB version and $1349 (USD) for the 2TB version, but there are also official reviews out there for the set-top PC, and the thoughts are all over the place. Showing some of the strain that the machine may be able to play the latest games in the AAA space, but it could be a great thing for indies. So, is this something either Sean or Marc would consider purchasing it at any point? And what about for others at large? <br /><br />Also, XBOX CEO Asha Sharma has now ended her own honeymoon period with XBOX players by posting another internal memo called the Next 100 Days XBOX Reset. In it is some damning state of XBOX by looking at the realities of where they are and where they need to go. Also in there are hints at layoffs with rumors of several studios being closed. Could XBOX even get a chance at resetting at all? <br /><br />Plus, Grand Theft Auto VI is about to be available for pre-order, the game industry is now over $200 billion, Capcom is making more Resident Evil news, Sea of Thieves is getting a movie, more studios with layoffs too sadly.<br /><br />You can also watch this episode in video form on the W2M Network Youtube Channel, please give us a like, comment on the episode, and give the channel a subscribe and follow as well: <a href="https://youtube.com/live/hTx40v2pQH4" rel="noopener">https://youtube.com/live/hTx40v2pQH4</a><br /><br />Listen as a podcast and give us a review on these platforms... <br /><br />Apple: <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/ag/podcast/video-games-2-the-max/id886092740" rel="noopener">https://podcasts.apple.com/ag/podcast/video-games-2-the-max/id886092740</a><br />Spotify: <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/2wjd0u3xO7TdAm4gKRM44L" rel="noopener">https://open.spotify.com/show/2wjd0u3xO7TdAm4gKRM44L</a><br />Amazon: <a href="https://www.audible.com/pd/Video-Games-2-the-MAX-Podcast/B08JJPTZTW" rel="noopener">https://www.audible.com/pd/Video-Games-2-the-MAX-Podcast/B08JJPTZTW</a><br />Podchaser: <a href="https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/video-games-2-the-max-181386" rel="noopener">https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/video-games-2-the-max-181386</a><br />Podcast Addict: <a href="https://podcastaddict.com/?podId=2465904" rel="noopener">https://podcastaddict.com/?podId=2465904</a><br />IHeart Radio: <a href="https://www.iheart.com/podcast/53-video-games-2-the-m-28438312/" rel="noopener">https://www.iheart.com/podcast/53-video-games-2-the-m-28438312/</a><br /><br /> Check out other W2M Network Shows <br /><br />Latest Otalku Cafe Episode (Anime): <a href="https://youtube.com/live/ihas4852dT8" rel="noopener">https://youtube.com/live/ihas4852dT8</a><br /><br />Radulich in Broadcasting's Toy Story 5 Review: <a href="https://youtube.com/live/Ic9s3LYENwg" rel="noopener">https://youtube.com/live/Ic9s3LYENwg</a><br /><br />Follow on X (Twitter), Blue Sky, Instagram & TikTok<br /><br />Sean on Twitter (X): <a href="https://twitter.com/W2MSean" rel="noopener">https://twitter.com/W2MSean</a><br />Sean on Bluesky: <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/w2msean.bsky.social" rel="noopener">https://bsky.app/profile/w2msean.bsky.social</a><br />Sean on TikTok: <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/" rel="noopener">https://www.tiktok.com/</a>@sgarmer05<br />Sean on Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/sgarmer05/" rel="noopener">https://www.instagram.com/sgarmer05/</a><br />Marc on Twitter (X): <a href="https://twitter.com/HumanityPlague" rel="noopener">https://twitter.com/HumanityPlague</a><br /><br />Follow Us on all W2M Network Social Media <br /><br />Follow us on Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/w2mnetwork" rel="noopener">https://twitter.com/w2mnetwork</a><br />Follow us on Twitch: <a href="https://www.twitch.tv/w2mnetwork"...
