Send us Fan Mail In this episode... --> Sony is facing a class action lawsuit filed in California's Northern District Court for failing to properly disclose that paying for a downloadable game does not grant permanent ownership. Now the company's lawyers are arguing that if you truly own your digital games, only one copy of any given game could ever be sold, and "reasonable" gamers know that's not the case.  --> After ditching discs, PlayStation continues replicating XBOX's very bad 2013 by going all in on TV. --> A swath of angry spouses on social media believe that Grand Theft Auto 6's in-depth relationship mechanic is equivalent to cheating on your real-life partner and worth breaking up over. --> Also: Top 3 New Releases, Very Important Poll Help support ShrfSnax (a.k.a.
