195: Adam Boyes and the Art of Extraction

Author: Jeff Gerstmann | Daylight Media March 4, 2026 Duration: 2:56:32
Adam Boyes (Vivrato, PlayStation, Iron Galaxy) joins us to discuss the finer art of extraction in Arc Raiders. We’re also talking a lot about the Marathon Server Slam and how that’s really turning me around on this whole “extraction” thing. Also: highlights from the Steam Next Fest including Awaysis, some Resident Evil 9 talk, the grand opening and grand closing of Highguard, the state of the industry, the future of AAA games, the true end of the console wars, Xbox’s chances in the years ahead, Johnny V’s Pokemon boxers, and who the hell is funding all these video games, anyway?

For years, Jeff Gerstmann has been a distinct voice cutting through the noise of the games industry, and that continues here. The Jeff Gerstmann Show-A Podcast About Video Games is exactly what it says, but delivered with a depth and perspective that only comes from decades of being in the trenches. Each week, Jeff draws from a deep well of personal experience, discussing not just the latest releases and industry news, but the broader culture and strange business decisions that shape the medium. The conversation often extends into the essential fuel that powers these marathon sessions-energy drinks-adding a layer of personal, offbeat humor. This isn't a rehearsed presentation or a corporate overview; it feels like getting analysis from a friend who has seen it all, for better or worse. Tuning into this podcast means hearing unfiltered opinions, historical context, and the kind of nuanced discussion that treats video games as both a serious art form and a frequently absurd hobby. It’s a consistent, thoughtful, and often funny download from someone who genuinely loves talking about games, hosted by Jeff Gerstmann and presented by Daylight Media.
