Physical Media in Gaming

from Switch 2 The Past Hosted by Was Cool Productions

With the latest news of Sony announcing no physical media for their games starting in 2028 and Rockstar only releasing GTA VI as a download code, the era of physical media in gaming seems to be coming to a close. From two avid physical media supporters this is of course concerning for Mike & Neil as they remember unwrapping Pokemon Red on Christmas morning, something that a download card really can’t match. Join the boys for this very special episode, and look for the CD-ROM of this episode at your local GameStop in 2028.
