The gong has returned.

Party tricks. Saudi Princes. Steam pricing.

Somehow, Mike & Rami talk about all three of these topics on the same episode.

So many stories, so little time.

Listen to Mike and Rami waffle their way through a variety of video game industry stories, including tales that reduce them both to tears.

"Survive until 2025", they said. Things will get better, they said.

2025 was bad, and there's not a lot to say 2026 will be better. Mike & Rami discuss what's coming up for the games industry.

Apparently "success" in video games, is when you have loads of concurrent players on Steam -- at least that's what players think.

Of course, they're very wrong. So then, what is it? Sounds like a good topic for Mike & Rami to natter about.

Mike Rose & Rami Ismail are still, inexplicably, working in the video game industry after too many years of soaring highs, and soul-crushing lows.

In this intro episode, the two industry veterans begin their "Still Here" voyage, and hope you'll be excited to come along for the ride.
