    Is Another Gaming Crash Coming? Nintendo’s MIG Switch Fight & Digital Ownership

    Send us Fan Mail Gaming survived the crash of 1983—but could rising costs, massive development budgets, and pressure from AI infrastructure push the industry toward another breaking point? NickMoses05 breaks down the gaming-crash debate, what makes today different from 1983, and what increasingly expensive hardware could mean for everyday players. Would you stop upgrading, wait for sales, or return to the games you already own? Plus, Nintendo’s court victory against a MIG Switch seller in the Netherlands sparks a deeper conversation about piracy, preservation, and digital ownership. With both versions of the device on hand, Nick discusses why developers deserve to get paid—and why customers want lasting access to their purchases. Also in this episode: • Gaming Gone Wild: An alleged school threat in a gaming chat, an attack on a teenager playing video games in El Paso, a Green Oaks gaming-machine robbery, and a Jackson PS5 burglary investigation. • Dude, I Got the Munchies: Carl’s Jr. Angus Maximus, Girl Scout dog treats, Walmart’s bettergoods desserts, Baskin-Robbins Biscoff treats, Red Baron microwave pizza, and Wendy’s towering T-Rex burger. • Game of the Week: A look at Halloween and its Michael Myers horror experience. • Choose Your Fate: Balrog vs. Mr. Sandman, Samus vs. Big Daddy, Bayonetta vs. Princess Zelda, Kratos vs. Wolverine, and Andre Bishop vs. TJ Combo. • After-show conversation: Defending Duke Nukem Forever and reacting to a viral Dark Souls 2 pick for the greatest game of all time.

    Is Gaming Getting Too Expensive? GTA 6, Game Pass & Digital Ownership

    Send us Fan Mail Would you pay $100 for a game—or $2,000 for your next console? And if your entire collection depends on an account, how much do you really own? NickMoses05 joins forces with a guest from The Lobby Podcast for a passionate gaming debate about rising prices, digital ownership, and where players should draw the line. We tackle GTA 6 rumors, physical discs versus digital convenience, and whether premium editions offer real value or leave standard-edition players missing out. Then the conversation gets heated over Game Pass and PlayStation Plus: are subscriptions helping people afford gaming, or changing what players are willing to buy? The debate also covers: • Why physical game collectors still want a choice. • Whether rising console prices could shut kids and families out. • PC versus console gaming—and Nintendo’s different approach. • Free-to-play games and their effect on expectations. • Gaming boycotts, buying habits, and supporting developers. • Classic gaming memories, overlooked franchises, and the potential of indie studios. Two gamers. Strong opinions. Plenty of laughs. Where do YOU stand—and what price would finally make you walk away? This episode features commentary, speculation, and discussion of GTA 6 rumors circulating at the time of recording. References to pricing, editions, leaks, and physical availability are not confirmed announcements.

    Latest Sony Physical Disc Drama, Xbox’s Biggest Opportunity & the EU Won’t Stop It

    Send us Fan Mail Sony’s decision to end physical PlayStation game releases in 2028 is sending shockwaves through the gaming industry—and retailers are beginning to fight back. Video Games Plus has published an open letter urging Xbox to make physical media part of Project Helix, giving Microsoft a rare opportunity to reverse the embarrassment of its 2013 Xbox One reveal and position itself as the console that still supports consumer choice. We also examine why European regulators say they cannot force Sony to continue manufacturing discs, how an all-digital PlayStation ecosystem could create new antitrust problems, and why eliminating physical games affects far more than collectors. Used-game pricing, lending, preservation, independent retailers and competition with the PlayStation Store could all disappear with the disc. Gaming Gone Wild features four unbelievable stories: a suspected burglar allegedly targeting two Santa Fe game stores, the tragic death of a Tennessee mother who traveled to meet someone connected through online gaming, a man arrested months after allegedly shooting his neighbor eight times following a stolen PlayStation 5 dispute, and 15 young people taken into custody after a social-media trend encouraged break-ins at Urban Air locations. Dude, I Got the Munchies includes Costco Mini Croissant Donuts, Blue Bell Chocolate Lava Cake Ice Cream, Dolly Parton Cookies ’N Custard desserts, the return of Ore-Ida Crispers, Pringles can-sized flavored hot dog buns and Reese’s Pieces with a new chocolate-cookie center. Our Game of the Week is Ascend to ZERO, the fast-paced, time-bending action roguelike from Flyway Games and KRAFTON. We break down its 30-second survival loop, time-freezing combat and wildly escalating RPG progression before closing the show with another round of Choose Your Fate. Support the show

    Sony Ends Physical Games, Xbox Fires Back & Pokémon Card Crimes

    Send us Fan Mail This week on the NickMoses05 Gaming Podcast, we’re breaking down Sony’s major move away from physical games and why the future of PlayStation may be bad news for game ownership, preservation, and consumer choice. Sony confirmed that new PlayStation physical disc production will end in 2028, and while digital games are already dominating the market, Nick explains why convenience is not the same thing as ownership. We also get into the timing of Sony’s DRM controversy, why transparency matters, and why gamers should be concerned about an all-digital future. Then we shift over to Microsoft, who seemed very happy to throw some shade at Sony by promoting physical discs for Halo: Campaign Evolved. But is Xbox really standing up for physical media, or are they just winning the PR battle while reportedly heading toward the same all-digital future? Gaming Gone Wild is packed this week with Pokémon card robberies, trading card shops being targeted, and serious online safety stories involving gaming platforms. We also hit Dude I Got The Munchies with viral food items, weird new snacks, a chocolate McGriddle, Mountain Dew’s birthday cake Slurpee, Chili’s new Big Crispy chicken sandwiches, and more. Plus, Game of the Week goes to Rhythm Heaven Groove, now available on Nintendo Switch and playable on Nintendo Switch 2, and we close things out with another round of Choose Your Fate. 0:00 Show Intro 6:27 Gaming Gone Wild 8:42 $10,000 Pokémon Card Store Burglary 14:53 Roblox Currency Online Safety Case 21:07 Gaming App Exploitation Case 27:12 $21,000 Pokémon Card Robbery Sentence 33:26 Sony Ends Physical Games 56:51 Xbox Fires Back at Sony 1:20:03 Dude I Got The Munchies 1:20:49 Viral Hair Croissant 1:24:53 Kroger Weird Chip Flavors 1:26:31 McDonald’s Chocolate McGriddle 1:28:27 Mountain Dew Birthday Cake Slurpee 1:30:19 Chili’s Big Crispy Chicken Sandwiches 1:32:32 Dutch Bros Firecracker Rebel 1:34:24 Game of the Week: Rhythm Heaven Groove 1:38:06 Choose Your Fate 1:39:16 Choose Your Fate Round 1 1:41:19 Choose Your Fate Round 2 1:42:54 Choose Your Fate Round 3 1:44:37 Choose Your Fate Round 4 1:46:09 Choose Your Fate Round 5 1:48:19 Choose Your Fate Round 6 1:54:08 Closing Support the show
