## Resource

Xbox is testing a system that lets players insert a supported Xbox One or Series X disc and claim a digital entitlement for that game. Paddle Paddle Paddle is a $2.99 co-op rage game made by solo developer Mateo Covic, known as Zoroarts. It has a 90% positive Steam rating and more than 55,000 total refunds. Does grading create meaningful digital collectability, or just multiply artificial scarcity?
