The Wii U and 3DS eShops shut down in early 2023, taking with them thousands of games that aren't available physically or on other platforms. TV streaming is suffering an even worse fate of entire TV shows being cancelled and removed from their services, including canning unaired (but completed) seasons to save money with tax write-offs.

Vinnk and Sean discuss how the digital apocalypse has spread to all media, but how services like Nintendo Switch Online can offer a faint glimmer of hope.
