ICYMI - We Don't Own Games Anymore, We Rent Them

ICYMI - We Don't Own Games Anymore, We Rent Them

PlayStation discs are going away entirely by 2028, and Kris Abel makes the case that the industry is repeating a mistake music already made, minus the concerts and festivals that kept that transition from feeling like a total loss. Something as basic as playing your own game at a friend's house is about to require logging out of their account first.

The conversation shifts to Hollywood, where YouTube-trained directors are quietly beating traditional studios at their own game. One low-budget horror film built around a wish-granting toy has already pulled in $400 million globally, while a major franchise blockbuster struggles to match it.

Then there's a new tech toy on shelves that may be the strangest item to launch all year. Shane's reaction alone is worth the listen.

Topics: digital game ownership, PlayStation 2028, YouTube directors, Obsession box office, Chester Cheeks toy
