from M2 Podcast · host M2 Podcast
In this podcast episode, the hosts discuss various topics related to the gaming industry and recent developments. They begin with the news of Xbox Live Gold transitioning to "Core" under the Game Pass label, but without any changes to online access or Console Game Pass, which leaves some users confused and dissatisfied with the separation. The episode then delves into the Microsoft and Activision Blizzard takeover saga, with fans feeling concerned about the future of Call of Duty on different platforms. The hosts also explore the new battery regulation in the EU, forcing Valve to manufacture new versions of the Steam Deck with replaceable batteries, a welcome development for gamers. Finally, they touch on the upcoming Ubisoft Star Wars game, Star Wars: Outlaws, revealing that the planets in the game will be as vast as multiple regions in Assassin's Creed Odyssey. The episode also covers the case of a teenager accused of leaking Grand Theft Auto 6 and hacking Uber, being deemed mentally unfit to stand trial in a London court. 0:00 Intro 0:30 Updates 8:59 Microsoft In All Levels Of Game Pass https://bit.ly/46VnRYk 21:57 PlayStation gamers heartbroken https://bit.ly/3OmhWV5 36:00 Steam Deck Revision https://bit.ly/3NYuDUG 50:45 Star Wars: Outlaws Planets https://bit.ly/3NZXCrd 01:09:49 GTA 6 leak declared unfit for trial https://bit.ly/3DjaaVy 01:17:57 Outro Leave a LIKE and a comment, thanks for watching/listening! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PODCAST ►► https://anchor.fm/m2podcast AMAZON Music ► https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/091902c3-b83b-487c-8fe7-4c96787434fe/M2-Podcast APPLE ► https://podcasts.apple.com/podcast/id1531832410 BREAKER ► https://www.breaker.audio/m2-podcast-2 CASTRO ► https://castro.fm/podcast/6f69d373-d879-46d9-9f1c-bcf7c4bf1741 GOOGLE ► https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy8zNTYwNWZiMC9wb2RjYXN0L3Jzcw== OVERCAST ► https://overcast.fm/itunes1531832410/m2-podcast POCKETCASTS ► https://pca.st/5jghvf6e RADIOPUBLIC ► https://radiopublic.com/m2-podcast-GMZkY4 SPOTIFY ► https://open.spotify.com/show/2VedhO03IRoHERJqF6Sy87 STICHER ► https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/m2-podcast TUNEIN ► http://tun.in/pj3ZI #podcast JOIN THE DISCORD! ►► https://discord.gg/Kp5Gre6 FOLLOW THE TWITTER! ►►https://twitter.com/m2_podcast KyleHeath Socials: TWITTER ►► https://twitter.com/mrjkheath MadMikeWillEatU Socials: TWITTER ►► https://twitter.com/madmikewilleatu
