They made this clear as day. I sent this to Barrett. You know, March 27th, 2025, we all learned about virtual game cards. They showed the card moving around. They showed you what they're doing. They showed how they're screwing you over. They showed what was up.

that copy of your game at the same time as I'm playing it 100% yes oh somewhere else that's how Jen and I did Diablo for quite a while where before I had a code for her she I she would log into the my home unit where you know if you're not familiar you go into your settings your PlayStation 5 you say this is my designated home unit same thing you do with Xbox right yeah

where then she would log in as herself on that unit, she would play on hers, and I would play on my secondary one. Of course, the rub being here, if you're not familiar, is that a home unit, if the internet went off, you could just play the games you've downloaded there, no problem, forever.

With the secondary unit, it needs to ping the online every so often, otherwise it'll eventually be like, hey, you got 50 minutes to play until this thing's shutting down. Gotcha. I didn't even know that. Yeah.

well it's like again it's such a specific this is the permutations right and this is one of those things that we always run into of like with the amount of like when i'm trying to review a game and it's not even out yet but it's like you're doing this and then it's like okay i turn on the xbox but like to have a hellblade a few times where it's like oh well your xbox is still uploading the save like why is it taking so long to upload the save from work when i'm already here like blah blah blah like

usually everything works flawlessly but the way we all have to break everything because of how we run around with games and systems is different let alone for this where it's back to yeah if you're going to talk about now trying to play with a family right how do you do this and so there's fixes i mean like we're using this is happening today it's all live we gotta you gotta but like you know when they're talking about uh switch to stuff with the new mario kart world right you can share that game so theoretically you could all play that way you wouldn't need it i'm sure there's gonna be limitations on modes and things like that

But specifically like this, yeah, you're jumping around like that. But this was the move of moving over to this card thing. You lock all your cards in there. Yeah, you're going to have a bad time.

Yeah. It's, uh,

Yeah. It's, uh,

an interesting one and we're talking about use cases that i think i'm about to venture into that i like i haven't worried about before right where we're about to be where ben's going to want to play all this stuff and i'm not going to know any different because that i'd be interested to hear from parents who are but also i don't know so the way it was working before would be like you're playing a game offline or they say that both of them can play online right yeah yeah okay okay

It sucks. It's what it's going to be as everybody wrestles with digital ownership and what that actually means.

This came through, I was like, I've never, I don't even know what this fucking game is.
