SSD Price Drops, Game Remakes, and Facial Recognition in Gaming S4E29

In this podcast episode, the hosts discuss the significant drop in solid-state drive (SSD) prices, making them more accessible to consumers. SSDs, which were once considered expensive and reserved for high-end PC users, are now commonly found in gaming consoles and computers. The episode highlights examples of drastic price reductions, with some bestselling SSDs falling by 60 percent or more in just a year. The hosts also explore concerns about game developers like Ubisoft making overly long and bloated games, citing the example of Star Wars Outlaws potentially adopting elements from Assassin's Creed Valhalla. Additionally, the episode covers a fan-made remake of the beloved game The Simpsons: Hit & Run, which faces copyright issues preventing its distribution. Lastly, the podcast discusses the upcoming DreamWorks All-Star Kart Racing game, featuring popular DreamWorks Animation characters and introducing new twists to the kart-racing genre. The Entertainment Software Rating Board's proposal for a facial recognition-based parental consent mechanism for video games is also mentioned, drawing parallels to Tencent's previous use of facial recognition in China to regulate gaming among children.
