Witchers, Wallets & Worlds: Gaming’s Unexpected Power Moves

This week on the podcast, we break down one of the biggest surprises in gaming as The Witcher 3 gets a brand-new expansion, Songs of the Past, a full 11 years after launch—raising questions about what it means for The Witcher 4 timeline and CD Projekt Red’s long-term strategy. We also dive into Valve’s controversial Steam Deck price hike, discussing whether the beloved handheld is pricing itself out of its sweet spot and what it could mean for the future of the rumored Steam Machine. Then, we explore Warhorse Studios’ ambitious open-world Lord of the Rings RPG, why Kingdom Come: Deliverance fans should be excited, and whether this could finally be the immersive Middle-earth game fans have always wanted. Finally, we close with 007: First Light, the highest-rated James Bond game in nearly three decades, and whether IO Interactive may have just built the future of Bond gaming.0:00 Intro0:41 Update15:08 ‘The Witcher 3’ Revealed Expansion https://tinyurl.com/27ntd8tu 25:55 Steam Deck Price Increase Announced by Valve https://tinyurl.com/4m2apnmf 38:53 Lord of the Rings Open World RPG https://tinyurl.com/3h935kf8 47:21 007: First Light is the Highest-Rated James Bond Game in 30 Years https://tinyurl.com/fw3tssd6 55:18 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#podcast JOIN THE DISCORD!  ►► https://discord.gg/Kp5Gre6KyleHeath Socials:TIKTOK           ►► https://www.tiktok.com/@mrjkheathTWITCH          ►► https://www.twitch.tv/kyleheathTWITTER        ►► https://twitter.com/mrjkheathYOUTUBE       ►► https://www.youtube.com/MrJkheathMadMikeWillEatU Socials:TIKTOK           ►► https://www.tiktok.com/@madmikewilleatuTWITCH          ►► https://www.twitch.tv/madmikewilleatu/aboutTWITTER        ►► https://twitter.com/madmikewilleatuYOUTUBE       ►► https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1MoIvzyMDvH_5Ta
