Xbox Reboots, Steam Controller Chaos, and Twitch’s New Mogging Meta S7E16
from M2 Podcast · host M2 Podcast
This week’s episode dives into a massive shakeup across the gaming industry, from Microsoft rolling out a new controller-focused “Xbox Mode” for Windows 11 while simultaneously shutting down Copilot AI development on Xbox in an effort to refocus the brand. We also break down Valve’s chaotic Steam Controller launch, the new anti-scalper reservation system, and why demand for PC gaming hardware is exploding again. On the culture side, Twitch unexpectedly changes its rules to allow randomized video chat games like Omoggle, igniting a bizarre new era of livestream “mogging” competitions and viral creator moments. The episode explores how platform holders are scrambling to redefine gaming ecosystems, community engagement, and hardware strategy in 2026’s rapidly shifting industry landscape.0:00 Intro1:25 Updates14:56 Valve commits to restocking its Steam Controller https://tinyurl.com/5cp6ztbs 24:38 Steam Machine Price Reportedly Leaked https://tinyurl.com/muc26aub 36:49 Streamers Can Mog Each Other https://tinyurl.com/4pz3ydhw 58:44 Microsoft ends Copilot AI https://tinyurl.com/5nje5rz4 1:12:15 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
