On Spectator Mode Podcast episode 205 we discuss about Activision stumbling with Call of Duty :Black Ops 7 and not letting players pause the single player campaign. We look at the confusing PS Portal updates that sparked a wave of comparisons to the Steam Deck. We also dive into the return of Valve’s Steam Machine and what this could mean for the future of PC gaming in the living room.
On a more serious note, we talk about another round of layoffs at Crystal Dynamics and how these decisions continue to impact the gaming industry. Plus, we cover Arknights: Endfield, Six One Indie’s Indie Game Awards, and what we have been playing and watching.
