Call For Questions For DF Direct Weekly #234
🕑 Added 2025-10-02 18:00:37 +0000 UTCHi everyone, apologies for the lateness of the Call For Question post, but here we go. It's going to be a big one, I guess, as Microsoft's reorganisation of its Game(s) Pass offering is our lead discussion point in the next show. I'm sure you have lots of opinions about that, of course, but let's try to have some non-GP questions too!
Other topics? Hopefully we'll have some time to look at two Steam Deck native ports - Baldur's Gate 3 and Cronos - and we'll also be discussing the new PS5 Slim, as "torn down" by Austin Evans. More topics, you say? How about John's experiences in Japan and his takeaways from the Tokyo Game Show?
We may also comment on the GPD Win 5 review from The Phawx, though I should say that my own review unit turned up today! Oh, and finally, AA batteries for the Dual Sense. Yes or no? That news item may well end up in the Direct too.
In the meantime, many thanks - as ever - for your prospective inputs into the next Direct!

Hello DF team! I've been watching you for at least 10 years, so I finally decided to join the patreon. The whole idea about leakers kind of rubs me the wrong way. In a way, I'm always excited to read about news and rumors but at the same time I don't understand why these leakers do what they do. They are probably under heavy NDAs and are being paid a decent salary by their respective companies. Why would anyone betray their own company and leak information that hundreds of engineers are working on? And these youtube channels who leak information ahead of time take pride in receiving this information and spreading it. I suppose some leaks are done deliberately, but I would also assume many are not. I frankly find it an odd way of making a living: spreading information that hundreds of people are trying so hard to protect. What are your thoughts on this matter? Kind regards - Kim

Hi team! I hope you are well and thank you for all your hard work. I just wondered if there will be upcoming coverage for the Rog Xbox Ally alongside the Rog Xbox Ally X? I’m conscious that the Xbox Ally is more widely available and budget friendly than the Xbox Ally X, so it would be really great to see if it’s worth peoples time and money.
