Spectator Mode Podcast 207: GameStop Closes Stores | PC Gaming Just Got Super Expensive

By Keith MitchellJanuary 13, 2026

We’re back! After taking a month-long break to recharge and deal with the holidays, the crew returns to break down a few topics that matter in the gaming world. In Episode 207, we recap 2025, talk about what we’re looking forward to in 2026, discuss the rising prices of PC RAM and GPUs and how it impacts PC gaming, and cover GameStop closing even more stores. Plus, we hit a few other topics too… because of course we still manage to go off the rails.

But hey, that’s why you love us.

So yeah… welcome back!
