About this episode

Join the Professors for Course #47 as we tackle the biggest news in gaming! We kick off with GTA 6’s rumored early PC window alongside Epic Games mandating full "vibe coding" for their delayed Disney shooter. Next, we debate if Battlefield 6’s $30 shortcut kit crosses into pay-to-win territory and investigate rumors of Nvidia pulling the plug on the RTX 5090. Then, we dive into Microsoft’s massive moves—from Xbox Labs and media expansions to Project Helix handhelds and Gears of War: E-Day’s launch numbers. Finally, we break down Sony transferring over 400 VR patents to Meta and a wild CS2 qualifier where a team rage-quit to foil match-betting cheaters.Heru and Plague would love your feedback!
