Episode 587: Stop Killing Games: The Law That Could Change Everything

California's Stop Killing Games bill just cleared its first major hurdle — and if it becomes law, publishers won't be able to just flip the switch on your games anymore. We break down what the bill actually says, why the gaming industry is quietly panicking, and whether it'll even survive long enough to matter. Then: Subnautica 2 launched in Early Access and immediately broke Steam records for the franchise — 1 million players in 2 hours, 2 million in 12. But behind the numbers is a wild story involving a studio lawsuit, a founder getting fired, and Krafton throwing its weight around. Is this a genuine comeback or a chaos success? Plus — Forza Horizon 6 finally got a proper reveal, and we have thoughts. And we go off the rails (in the best way) into zero-point energy. Someone announced a Casimir Effect chip that supposedly generates 1.5 volts. Jake's in. Raz is not.
