Gamers Too is a video game industry commentary show with the energy of people trying to get through the week by laughing at how ridiculous everything has become. It starts with headlines, then immediately lets reaction take over. That reaction matters. The show is most alive when a corporate announcement sounds too polished, too expensive, too exploitative, or too stuffed with fashionable words to pass without mockery. PlayStation price hikes become a window into rising costs and general life irritation. Roblox becomes a reason to talk about kids, money, and how early platforms try to lock in attention. Disney and Epic’s rumored extraction-shooter project turns into a running argument over what genre words even mean anymore. No Man’s Sky gets treated with a mix of awe, jokes, and long-memory skepticism, because the show remembers the old story while still noticing the newer one. PAX East, Horizon spin-offs, co-op survival games, stealth releases, rhythm-game updates, and town builders all appear as part of a broad gaming-news diet. The show is not limited to games, though. Formula 1 contracts, Olympic oddities, Super Bowl plans, guild drama, house repairs, work exhaustion, and break-room encounters with major news all crowd the margins. Those margins often become the episode’s personality. Gamers Too is blunt about layoffs and corporate behavior, but it is not a sterile industry report. It is a loose, rapid, sometimes chaotic recap that values the human reaction as much as the information. The voices are not clearly identified in its episodes, but they sound comfortable correcting each other, derailing each other, and dragging a stray joke much farther than a polished show would allow. That gives the podcast its appeal. It feels like a gaming-news conversation that has not been sanded smooth for a press kit. Listeners get useful context, but they also get frustration, boredom, sarcasm, and tiny domestic updates. The result is scrappy, funny, and sharply suspicious of the business side of play.
Made for: Gamers Too is for players who follow industry news but prefer skeptical banter over polished recaps. It especially fits listeners who enjoy layoffs, pricing, AI, platform strategy, and release news discussed with blunt humor and side tangents.
What sets it apart: The show’s edge comes from letting the reaction stay messy: news items are read, questioned, mocked, misread, corrected, and dragged through real-life distractions. It feels less like a formal roundup and more like informed friends refusing to let corporate gaming language sound normal.
