This week on Good Playing With You, we break down Fortnite’s most controversial update yet as creator-made islands introduce loot boxes and gambling-style microtransactions, raising serious concerns about monetization in one of gaming’s biggest platforms. We also dig into Steam Machine price leaks, with rumors ranging from $600 to $1,000, and debate who Valve’s new hardware is actually for.

Then we tackle Meta shutting down multiple VR studios and laying off hundreds of developers — is this just a reset, or is VR officially dead?

Plus, we cover a wild Monster Hunter Wilds performance bug where owning more DLC actually improves frame rates. In our Hollywood roundup, we react to Amazon’s God of War TV series casting, the first look at Tomb Raider starring Sophie Turner, and the newly announced Fallout Shelter reality competition show. Packed with debate, reactions, and weekly gaming news.
