Episode Details

GTA 6 is the biggest game on the calendar — and the fight around it isn't just hype. It's about whether you actually own what you pay for.

Malcolm and Thomas break down how the GTA 6 rollout sits on top of a bigger shift: digital ownership replacing the disc, and what that costs the player. Sony's reported move away from disc-based consoles is the control play underneath it — once the game only lives on their store, they set the price, the access, and whether it stays in your library. Then they get into the leak layer: threats and demands from figures like Cyberleak, and how that noise now sits next to the release itself. If you thought this was just a trailer drop, this clip is the receipts on who holds the leverage.
