from M2 Podcast · host M2 Podcast

This week on the M2 Podcast, we break down a massive shake-up across the gaming industry. Micron officially shuts down its Crucial consumer RAM brand as AI demand overwhelms the memory market, leaving PC builders wondering what’s next. Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 faces disappointing player numbers across consoles and PC, raising big questions about franchise fatigue. Bungie resolves the Marathon concept art plagiarism scandal with a public apology and new art direction commitments. And in the biggest business news of the week, Saudi Arabia’s Savvy Games Group acquires a majority stake in Electronic Arts, instantly reshaping the future of one of gaming’s most powerful publishers. We unpack the details, the impact, and what these moves mean for gamers going forward.0:00 Intro0:51 Updates10:06 Crucial is shutting down https://tinyurl.com/nfe53z44 18:51 Call Of Duty Is Underperforming https://tinyurl.com/kym3xdd3 47:28 Bungie’s ‘Marathon’ Plagiarism Scandal https://tinyurl.com/493c9f72 56:38 Saudi Arabia will own 93.4% of EA https://tinyurl.com/3pjw3x5p 1:05:19 OutroLeave a LIKE and a comment, thanks for watching/listening!-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------PODCAST ►► https://anchor.fm/m2podcastAMAZON Music ► https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/091902c3-b83b-487c-8fe7-4c96787434fe/M2-PodcastAPPLE ► https://podcasts.apple.com/podcast/id1531832410BREAKER ► https://www.breaker.audio/m2-podcast-2CASTRO ► https://castro.fm/podcast/6f69d373-d879-46d9-9f1c-bcf7c4bf1741GOOGLE ► https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy8zNTYwNWZiMC9wb2RjYXN0L3Jzcw==OVERCAST ► https://overcast.fm/itunes1531832410/m2-podcastPOCKETCASTS ► https://pca.st/5jghvf6eRADIOPUBLIC ► https://radiopublic.com/m2-podcast-GMZkY4SPOTIFY ► https://open.spotify.com/show/2VedhO03IRoHERJqF6Sy87STICHER ► https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/m2-podcastTUNEIN ► http://tun.in/pj3ZI #podcastJOIN THE DISCORD! ►► https://discord.gg/Kp5Gre6FOLLOW THE TWITTER! ►►https://twitter.com/m2_podcastKyleHeath Socials:TWITTER ►► https://twitter.com/mrjkheathMadMikeWillEatU Socials:TWITTER ►► https://twitter.com/madmikewilleatu
