In this episode...
--> Sony is facing a class action lawsuit filed in California's Northern District Court for failing to properly disclose that paying for a downloadable game does not grant permanent ownership.

--> After ditching discs, PlayStation continues replicating XBOX's very bad 2013 by going all in on TV.
--> A swath of angry spouses on social media believe that Grand Theft Auto 6's in-depth relationship mechanic is equivalent to cheating on your real-life partner and worth breaking up over.
