  #159 - PlayStation Abandoned Physical Games

  Jul 18, 20261h 14m

  Luis calls for a meeting with Dan to discuss the recent news that PlayStation will cease producing physical discs starting in January 2028. They discuss how the overall games industry is going especially with how Xbox and Nintendo compare. Luis contemplates becoming a retro gamer and not buy any new consoles going forward (except Nintendo if they keep including physical media). No timestamps, this is all one giant topic of the show.
