PlayStation DRM, Lawsuits, Price Increases & GTA 6 Ad Rumors! | Level Down Podcast Ep 145

This week on the Level Down Podcast, we break down a packed week of gaming news and entertainment updates.

Sony is making headlines after reports surfaced about a new PlayStation digital DRM license check, raising concerns that players could temporarily lose access to purchased digital games if their consoles stay offline too long. We discuss what this means for digital ownership, game preservation, and whether gamers should be worried.

We also cover Sony agreeing to pay $7.8 million in a PlayStation Store class-action settlement after accusations of monopolizing digital game sales through PSN.

On top of that, PlayStation fans got hit with more bad news as refurbished PS5 prices jumped by $100, making even used consoles more expensive.
