This week on the M2 Podcast, we dive into one of the biggest shifts the gaming industry has seen in years. We discuss the lawsuit accusing Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron of manipulating RAM supply and how soaring memory costs are driving up prices for Xbox consoles, PCs, and gaming hardware across the board. We also break down the growing fight over digital ownership as publishers argue private game servers are piracy while consumer advocates push to preserve purchased games. Then we examine Sony's decision to end physical PlayStation game discs in 2028, Microsoft's rumored all-digital Xbox future, and whether Nintendo could become the last major platform keeping physical games alive. It's a deep dive into where gaming is headed—and what these changes mean for players, collectors, and the future of game ownership.
