Digital game ownership is becoming harder to ignore, especially as more publishers push players toward all-digital libraries. We discuss what players actually own, why stronger consumer protections may be needed, and whether access to purchased games can ever truly be guaranteed.

We also break down why Echoes of Aincrad has become so polarizing and whether Lenovo’s Legion C700 proves that dedicated cloud gaming handhelds still have a place in the market.
