On this week’s show we break down the IAPPA Brass Ring winners, why Hupalupa’s guest-first design stands out, and whether an immersive museum belongs in LBE. We unpack CEC’s CEO shift, BW rants about costly IP skins on proven earners, and scan global openings from VR arenas to clawcades and F1’s mega play in Vegas.
