Ep. 18: Sony Didn't Kill Physical (We Did)

This week on The Game Adventure, we tackle a brutal week for the industry, diving into the Xbox restructure and the human cost behind it. I also call out Ubisoft for their lazy Day-One DLC in the Assassin's Creed Black Flag remake, celebrate Sega's "Resurrect the Catalog" initiative, and get on my soapbox to explain why Sony's decision to kill physical discs by 2028 isn't the apocalypse everyone thinks it is. Plus, a massive catch-up on all the July subscription games you might have missed!
