In Episode 192 of the Spectator Mode Podcast, the crew dives into a mix of gaming chatter, tech talk, and a dash of nostalgia. We kick things off with what we’ve been playing and watching lately before moving into a bizarre discussion on putting electronics into confined spaces while they’re still powered on.

We then explore the uncertain future of Xbox following a wave of layoffs and what that could mean for the brand moving forward. In the second half, we tackle the controversial Stop Killing Games movement and Pirate Software’s bold stance on game preservation.

Finally, we wrap things up by reminiscing about Split/Second, one of the best arcade racers of its time, and whether there’s still a future for the arcade racing genre.
