## Resource

The backlash over Sony's announcement to end physical copies of games in 2027 isn't going over well. Really not well. Nick and Edie talk about how, in light of the fact that companies can now reach into your libraries and remove your "owned" content (because they also did just that recently), what that will mean for us as gamers. If buying isn't owning, is piracy theft? Join our Discord and chat with us all the time: Help support us on Patreon!
