Episode #0002 – Game Subscription Services and Your Rights as a Gamer

In this episode we discuss the conversion of PlayStation Now to PlayStation Plus, the multitude of gaming services and what they offer for your hard-earned money, whether or not you actually own your games, your rights as gamers/consumers, and lastly DRM (Digital Rights Management) and how each gaming service and/or company utilizes DRM.

Thanks for tuning in and we hope to hear from you on our forum and in our Discord!

Join the conversation! We’d love for you to tell us what gaming services and/or subscription services you use, how you feel about your rights as a consumer when it comes to purchasing digital content, and what you think of the modern gaming platforms as being the future of gaming!
