EP. 183 - Is Physical Media Finally Dead?

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.
