Show notes

Laine and Joost return from hiatus older, wiser, and slightly more disillusioned. After swapping life updates (burnout, sabbatical travel, bike repair, Belgian sauce gossip), they dive into the state of the games industry: mass layoffs, market decline, and the collapse of the forever-growth fantasy. Plus: Apple loses in court, Steam gets sued (again), GTA VI becomes the industry’s last great hope, and Laine spills the tea on fighting the ESA over game preservation rights. It’s only Season 4, episode 1 and it’s already a ride.
