How Digital Gaming Changed Everything
The gaming industry is becoming more digital every year. Physical game stores are disappearing, digital downloads are replacing discs, and platforms like Steam, Epic Games Store, PlayStation Store, and Xbox Store now dominate the market.

In this video, we explore the benefits and risks of digital gaming, including digital ownership, DRM, online verification, physical game collecting, microtransactions, live-service games, and the future of the gaming industry. As gaming moves toward an all-digital future, it's worth asking whether convenience is worth the trade-offs.
