Physical media is dying — and GTA 6's "physical edition" (a box with just a download code) might be the final nail. In this episode, the Disgruntled Army breaks down the Top 10 games and moments proving ownership in gaming is disappearing: Sony's confirmed end of PS5 disc production in January 2028, Ubisoft's infamous "get comfortable not owning your games" era, The Crew getting completely deleted from players' libraries after they paid for it, FF7 Revelation's still-unconfirmed physical release, and why the next-gen Xbox might not even have a disc drive at all.

We're diving into the receipts: the lawsuits, the petitions, the corporate quotes that aged like milk, and what this means for collectors, preservationists, and anyone who thought "buying" a game meant actually owning it.

🎮 Topics covered:

• GTA 6's physical edition controversy
• Sony's disc production shutdown (Jan 2028)
• The Crew lawsuit & Stop Killing Games movement
• FF7 Revelation's physical release uncertainty
• Ubisoft's digital-only push
• Next-gen Xbox & PS5 Pro disc drive decisions

Palworld just dropped its biggest update ever — 1.0 is finally here, and Ed & Grant break down whether two years of Early Access hype actually paid off. Then they turn to the internet's favorite summer punching bag: Christopher Nolan's $250 million Odyssey, and whether Hollywood butchering 2,800-year-old mythology is actually a crime or just..Hollywood normalcy

In this episode:
🐾 Palworld leaves Early Access with 72 new Pals, the World Tree region, a new sky island, and a genuinely massive patch — is it enough to pull players back in?
⚔️ The Odyssey's historical accuracy backlash — boar-tusk helmets vs. Hollywood's "generic ancient broom helmet," modern American accents in ancient Greece, and the Viking longship that shouldn't exist for another 2,000 years
🎭 The casting controversy that ate the internet before anyone saw a single frame
🏛️ Does a movie "owe" historical accuracy to a myth that was never historically accurate to begin with?

Ed and Grant go back and forth on where creative license ends and disrespecting the source material begins — with a few tangents you'll want to stick around for.
