from Pixel Spectrum · host Derek Van Dyke

Miss our panel at PAX East 2026? No you didn't!Licensed videogames have a long and weird history. They ran the quality gamut from shovelware to masterpieces, and filled the libraries of consoles up until they fell out of favor. On this panel, we discuss how videogames based on licensed properties came in and out and back in to fashion over the years.I was joined for this panel by my sister and Castle Bravo cohost Charlotte Landale, my friend and former podmate Matthew Finneman aka Finn, and our good buddy Cam Hawkins.Make sure to follow Charlotte @dollblood.garden, Finn @nolanerdcast.bsky.social, and Cam camfinalmix.bsky.social.
