Welcome back to Spectator Mode Podcast! In episode 198, we kick things off by catching up on what we’ve been playing and watching before jumping headfirst into the big topics. First up, is exclusivity still important when it comes to consoles, or is that old news? Then we shift gears into a Marvel Rivals conspiracy that’s just as strange as it sounds. From there, we break down the news about the head of IGN stepping down, what that could mean for the site, and the ripple effect of mass layoffs in the gaming industry.

It’s a packed episode, full of hot takes, questionable theories, and plenty of laughs along the way.

Timestamps:

  • 00:00 – Intro / What have we been playing and/or watching
  • 26:59 – Is exclusivity Important in consoles?
  • 48:11 Marvel Rival to address EEOM Soon? Psst… It’s a conspiracy
  • 1:11:12 The Head of IGN is gone? What does this mean for them? The Mass layoffs, etc
  • 1:25 :02 – Outro

Thanks for listening and watching! If you enjoyed the episode, please like, comment, and subscribe to support the show.
