Digital Dystopia

Episode 269 Sony's statement that "reasonable consumers" know that they don't own their games has brought the topic of digital ownership back to the forefront. What does owning a digital good look like in 2026, and how do the laws regarding digital ownership need to change to ensure a prosperous digital-only future for consumers? As always, we conclude with the games we're playing (Big Walk, Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls, Bloodborne). This episode was recorded in September 2026. Intro and outro music composed for Gametalk by Dylan Chase.
