Colette has finished "Clair Obscur: Expedition 33" (and on her second playthrough) and Matt has watched all of the game's cinematics. And one thing is certain: We have been forever changed by this unbelievable work of art. This week, we go full spoiler mode on the plot, lore, characters, theories, cultural impact, and existential meaning of this extraordinary game, and why a French surrealist fever dream about grief is the LEAST commercial idea imaginable, yet an undeniable smash hit for the games industry (and why the world needs it more than ever). Obviously, this episode contains super duper SPOILERS for Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. You have been warned.

If you've read a video game article on the Internet in the last two decades, chances are it was written by Luke Plunkett. His tenure at Kotaku spanned 17 years, and all the highs and lows of the digital media rollercoaster. When the bottom eventually fell out, he and other games media refugees co-founded Aftermath, a worker-owned video game news and commentary site, whose business model eschews advertising, SEO, and clickbait in favor of — get this — reader subscriptions! Luke joins us to discuss the evolution of games media, getting paid $10 to post pictures of cake on Kotaku in 2006, living on the opposite side of the world from his co-workers, and why we are entering a new and (hopefully) more sustainable era for online journalism.

213 Banks Are Deciding What Video Games You're Allowed to Buy, and It's Not the First Time (w/ games journalist Ana Valens) 1:43:10

Hundreds of NSFW games were removed from Steam last week after Valve quietly changed some policies around adult content. But journalists realized it was actually the payment processors — Visa and Mastercard — who refused to complete transactions around certain kinds of porn. Digging deeper, it was revealed that a small Australian conservative activism group was taking a victory lap around Steam's porn purge, all in the name of "protecting children" from "harmful content." And they are targeting Itch.io next, which has already de-indexed many adult games. So how did a tiny group of pearl-clutchers convince two multi-national banking conglomerates to censor the world's largest video game marketplace? Games journalist Ana Valens attempted to answer this with two reported articles on Vice's gaming site Waypoint. But those articles were taken down by Vice's corporate owners, prompting Ana (and many of her colleagues) to immediately quit. This week, Ana joins Matt to discuss this legally and ethically complex issue, why banks can now decide what art we're allowed to see on the Internet, the pressing threat for the LGBTQ+ community, and what we can (actually) do about it. If this conversation inspired you to take action, please discuss it in our Discord, check out the links below, and follow Ana's work: Both archived articles: https://archive.ph/USxe6 + https://archive.ph/x5cGQ https://yellat.money/ Follow Ana on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/acvalens.net Join our Discord community: https://discord.gg/5xz84B9RRJ Subscribe to the show on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ColetteAndMatt Email us with what you're playing and we'll read it on the show!

Nine years after its initial release, "Stardew Valley" has dethroned "Portal 2" as the highest-rated game on Steam. We discuss this huge achievement and the business of providing long-term value to players in a world of short-term thinking. But it's impossible to kick off the pod without discussing Microsoft's latest round of layoffs, with 9,000 people out of the job, many in the Xbox division. This has led to the cancelation of many promising games. The looming specter of AI certainly plays a role here. And speaking of people losing their jobs, the leaders of "Subnautica's" studio Unknown Worlds were recently told to kick rocks by their parent company Krafton, right before the release of one of the most-wishlisted video games of all time: "Subnautica 2." The community is livid, and new revelations hint at some unsavory details. And Colette shares an update on her progress in "Expedition 33." https://www.theverge.com/news/697125/microsoft-xbox-layoffs-2025 https://www.dexerto.com/stardew-valley/stardew-valley-dethrones-valve-classic-as-steams-top-rated-game-3224023/ https://www.wired.com/story/video-games-voice-actors-strike-over-artificial-intelligence/ https://gamerant.com/subnautica-2-founder-statement/ https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-07-09/krafton-delays-subnautica-2-game-ahead-of-250-million-payout Join our Discord community: https://discord.gg/5xz84B9RRJ Subscribe to the show on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ColetteAndMatt Email us with what you're playing and we'll read it on the show!

Fortnite's current Star Wars season is a blast, and a chance encounter with Darth Vader allows you to converse with him via voice chat. His responses are synthesized with AI, and the voice you hear is that of James Earl Jones, whose estate agreed to the AI cloning. The idea of a video game NPC responding to your actions and talking to you with context (rather than canned responses) is an exciting prospect for the future of games. But in this case, there are two problems: Players and streamers immediately figured out how to get Vader to drop F-bombs and say racial slurs. And while the voice was generated with permission, it comes at a time when actors unions like SAG-AFTRA are in active negotiations with video game companies about the use of AI and the future security of their jobs. The result has been an uproar about the ethics, legality, and future of the medium.

After a week of tariff confusion, exceptions, backpedaling, and wait-and-seeism, Nintendo announced that Switch 2 pre-orders are back on the table with no price increase for the console itself. Peripherals are another story. So, given the uncertainty, economic climate, and lack of Switch 2 launch games, will you be pre-ordering? Plus, we tackle the breaking news of Discord's CEO stepping aside in favor of an Activision-Blizzard money man, with an IPO looming in the near future. The Internet is bracing for "enshittification," but given Discord's current business model, how worried should we be?

And then the pricing was announced, and online sentiment went from excitement to concern, and even anger. So what is the value proposition of the Switch 2? What would you pay to upgrade your Switch 1 games? And how does this all factor in to a marketplace where thousands of Steam games are still $10-$15, and unhinged tariffs are just starting to hit? We break down everything announced in the Switch 2 Direct, our feelings about it, and the sentiment from our listening community.

New Metroid Prime 4 footage, a return to some funky weird franchises, and a brand new way to share digital games with family and friends. And if you can't get enough Nintendo news Direct-ly, there's now an app for that.

197 Our Favorite Reveals From the Future Games Show 59:47

Hey, you. Have you heard of the Future Games Show? Neither have we. But it sure did reveal some bangers this week. From AAA epics and indie darlings, we pluck out the trailers and demos that caught our attention. Plus, Netflix revealed it's creating a cozy MMO called "Spirit Crossing," which sure does have some Studio Ghibli vibes. We discuss what this means for the streamer, which has typically only licensed mobile games from app stores, rather than create original IP. And Colette shares her first impressions of the co-op friend-em-up "Split Fiction."

196 All Your "Pokémon GO" Data Now Belongs to the Saudi Government 1:19:12

Niantic, makers of such hits as "Pokémon GO" and...the rest...has sold the location-based creature-enslaving walk-em-up for $3.5 billion. One catch: The buyer is Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund, a portfolio that's increasingly invested in tech and games. The Saudi government doesn't have the best track record on human rights, and its new access to millions of Pokémon Trainers' IRL location data has some players freaked out. We discuss the geopolitical ramifications (cuz we r eXpErTs). Plus: A classic Bethesda RPG is probably being reborn in Unreal Engine 5, what if Link had a keytar instead of a sword, cats doing cat things, Steam's most-played demo is also its most-hated, and the weird physics reason your ancient Super Nintendo is running slightly faster now.

Our exploration of outstanding Steam demos and upcoming indies continues. Colette kicks the tires on three more excellent games. Also, what will the Internet do with "Command & Conquer's" source code? And will Discord become "enshittified" if it files for IPO? Meanwhile, "Monster Hunter Wilds" is Capcom's fastest selling game ever (8 million copies in 3 days). There's only one problem: It runs like ass and looks like a PS3 game. Matt explains the technical drama, Capcom's unwillingness to acknowledge the issues, and why despite all this, he can't stop playing.

193 'Marvel Rivals' Made $3 Billion. So Why Did the Entire U.S. Team Get Fired? 1:06:37

The free-to-play hero arena battler "Marvel Rivals" has hit hard since its release in December, scooping up 40 million players and almost $3 billion in net revenue. So it's totally logical and not weird at all that its Chinese publisher NetEase just laid off the entire U.S. design team. We discuss the weird geopolitical landscape, and why the relatively young games industry still lacks labor protection amid massive profits. Also, Colette goes hard on "Sworn," a new roguelike that borrows heavily from "Hades" in all the right ways. https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/despite-its-big-success-marvel-rivals-director-and-others-have-been-laid-off/ https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/marvel-rivals-has-passed-40-million-players-as-netease-reports-net-revenue-of-2-9-billion/ Join our Discord community: https://discord.gg/5xz84B9RRJ Subscribe to the show on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ColetteAndMatt Email us with what you're playing and we'll read it on the show!

Good Guy Valve is at it again, this time with some handy yellow text that will be very helpful when considering your next Early Access purchase. And the wiki site Fandom dot Com suffers another exodus as the official Warframe wiki moves off the crappy ad-infested site. Plus, the gayest match 3 game ever, and hitting the road with Indiana Jones.
