About this episode

The episode discusses the future of physical media in the context of gaming and digital trends.

On this episode of The Nerdiest Podcast, we discuss whether physical media is truly on its way out, or if collectors, preservationists, and gamers still have reason to be hopeful. With reports of a digital-only future becoming more common, GTA VI having no true physical release, and Sony ditching disc production for PS6, it feels like we're reaching a turning point for gaming, and physical media as a whole. ❯ Follow the Podcast Socials: https://linktr.ee/thenerdiestpodcast ❯ Follow the Hosts: https://linktr.ee/nicwithnok https://linktr.ee/theglasstudios ❯ Support the Show with Merch: https://thenerdiestpodcast.com ❯ Become a YouTube Member: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbMxyCw1fpIT20SSj68J7vg/join ❯ Become an Apple Podcasts Member: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-nerdiest-podcast/id1487374349?i=1000774926714 ==== EPISODE CHAPTERS: 0:00 Intro 0:25 Weekly Recap 14:35 The History of Physical Media 41:45 How the All-Digital Age Affects Gaming 1:24:16 In Conclusion
