TWIG: Bad Reviews, Bogus Pros, and the Steam Machine Leak – Gaming Podcast

Video Gamers Podcast

About
Gaming hosts Josh, Ryan, and Ace are back with TWIG (This Week in Gaming) to break down a wild week of news and nonsense. We dig into
Code Violet launching to brutal reviews, unpack a bizarre story of a woman allegedly faking an esports career, and react to Steam Machine price leaks that have the internet buzzing. What do these headlines mean for the future of video games, consumer trust, and the industry at large? Plus, we hit even more rapid-fire stories shaking up the space, from surprise announcements to ongoing controversies, all while keeping an eye on how these moments shape the video games we play and talk about. It’s a fast, opinionated TWIG episode packed with takes, laughs, and exactly the kind of gaming chaos you tune in for on the Video Gamers Podcast.
