0:00 Sony has decided to stop selling physical games. >> Dude. >> What? >> No more physical media, no more physical games being sold by Sony as of 2028. >> like PlayStations? Don't you have to put physical games in there? >> Whatever's out there, it's out there. That's it. They're going to make it all digital. >> The new game, so like the biggest thing right now is everyone's talking about Grand Theft Auto, right? Six. Coming out uh in November. Rockstar is not selling physical copies of the game. You're only getting a digital code. >> Yeah. >> Wow. >> Yeah, because they don't want to deal with >> of Legends or whatever. You download, you have to download the thing. >> It's like a lot of games that you just download. >> Most games nowadays, you just download them. >> Yeah. >> What's that one site where you pay a >> Steam? >> Yeah, Steam. It's like that. >> But yeah, you so you just download it from there. And gamers are pissed because they like being able to have the to own it themselves up cuz you can't take it away. >> Can't take it away.
0:50 >> So some cat just um he had a Sony online entertainment account and he bought Lord of the Rings years ago and he had Lord of the Rings taken from his account. >> What? >> Cuz the contract expired. >> He had the trilogy, yeah. >> And and then he wasn't able to watch it anymore and Sony sent him an email saying like, "Hey, we're sorry about this inconvenience." cuz it went viral on social media. "Here's a link to buy them again." >> Yeah. >> So like that's where we're going. You you you will own nothing is the idea. >> Here's a link to just buy it again. I could have done that earlier. >> Cuz let's say that they released a new special edition. They want to wipe out the previous edition, so you have to buy it again. >> They they it's about the licensing, right? So like Sony licensed Lord of the Rings and then that contract expired after a
1:40 certain amount of time, so Sony couldn't host it on their ████ anymore. So then this guy can't access it anymore because the contract went somewhere else. >> That happens to me all the time with Amazon. >> There you go. >> Yeah, cuz I bought like the like vintage You know I buy a lot of stupid 70s movies. >> Yeah. >> And those leave the platform all the time. >> didn't know that. So when you buy the digital version and it's on the platform, it just is cuz I never buy it. I always rent it. >> Yeah. >> It does It's not like how it used to be where like if you bought something and they decided to stop selling it, you still have it. Now, you just don't have it. >> So, do you get your money back? That's not fair. >> It's a thing that guy didn't get his money back for any Lord of the Rings. >> When you lose, you know how you you lose a DVD and you forgot you even had it? It's kind of like that. You don't even notice that it's happening. >> Yeah. >> But, it's slowly happening. >> Yeah, there's movies that I'm like, "Oh, I can't >> I want to see this and it's a >> Then just leave it rented. >> people are pissed cuz this is going to happen to games now. And then you have
2:31 obviously huge gaming industries out there. You have game stores everywhere, right? Like we have game stores all over Vegas. >> Yeah. >> And those are going to go kaput as soon as like new games start coming out and they can't even have them anymore. >> So, they want to do um streaming only or >> They want to do download only. It's all about the streaming culture. So, it's like download only, but you don't actually own anything. And then the other thing too is some of this stuff gets DRM ████ locked by territory. >> Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. >> Just like Netflix, yeah. >> If you're traveling, if you don't have the connection to internet, you can't even ████ >> That's the worst one that you have to be on the internet. That's so dumb. >> why there's this huge uh like movement towards more analog stuff. >> Yeah, there is too. >> the minute you lose internet, you lose everything. Cuz like if I want to listen to Michael Jackson, it's cool that I can listen to every single album he's ever
3:21 made. I can find playlists on him on Spotify or whatever. But, if you don't have internet, you can't do that. But, when you actually own a vinyl or CD, you can play it anywhere you want. And even with pictures, if you own the Polaroid, you have the picture. If you run out of ████ cloud memory or whatever, all of a sudden you have zero access. Or if you buy a new phone, you didn't transfer it correctly, there it goes all your ████ pictures that you ever had. >> Gone. >> Yeah, it feels weird. It feel It feels like a your life is rented to you. >> Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, >> And that's where I think it's all going. It's like you don't get to own anything anymore. Like they're >> The goal. >> The proprietaryness is on is for them to constantly resell it to you. >> For land as well? Like they don't want you to own homes? Yeah, all of that. >> Cuz I remember when people would just buy like let's say they need Photoshop, they buy Adobe Photoshop or whatever. >> Oh, yeah. >> And then they're like, "Okay, I bought I
4:11 bought the program." And then more models come out and they're like, "I don't really need all those models. I can just keep doing my little projects on my little computer not connected >> to the internet. >> Yeah. >> But then it becomes so expensive. You're like, "Well, why don't you just rent the Adobe Suite for a cheap price of 50 bucks or whatever it is." And you're like, "Oh, that sounds pretty cool." But now if you don't have internet, you can't even use it. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. And you And you You can't? No, you can't. >> ████ no. >> For Creative Cloud? >> No. >> You can if you have like a copy copy. >> Yeah, that's true. Cuz even for music, I use EastWest Opus, which is like you can get any musical instrument at any time. >> Yeah. >> But if you're not logged on the internet, then you can't use it. >> Yeah. Or like a half the functions don't work or something. >> Cuz you don't own it. It's not on your computer. It's on their cloud and you're borrowing things. So you're downloading them for a bit. But [snorts] But another reason that people feel so strongly about this is
5:01 that in the case that let's say that like Lord of the Rings for instance, say the culture changes and then some things in there are now politically incorrect, the movie's going to change. >> Yeah, self-adjusts. >> Yep. >> Or if you're George Lucas, you just change it on your own. >> Put a different version out and that's the one you have. >> update that version. >> So that's why people are like, "No, have physical media so that they can't change ████ on you." That moves with the culture or the preferences. >> That's true. >> Cuz imagine having like our Constitution that's only in digital format. They just keep changing ████ You're like, "Wait, when did the laws do that?" "Oh, you didn't know? That happened like 2 years ago." You're like, "Wait, what?" >> Imagine having a copy of American Pie and they take the pie ████ scene out cuz some white lady got offended by it. >> Well, that's the gripe right now with how they're scanning books and destroying them. >> Yeah. >> that? Yeah. >> Yeah. >> That's the thing. >> That's the scary part. >> It's really scary. >> Why would they have to destroy it? >> Cuz now they own the they they regulate
5:52 what copy >> It's only one copy left? >> No, they're just like, you don't need it because if you want I'll email it to you. But how do you know if they change the book when they email it to you? >> it's control supply and demand like De Beers diamonds. >> It's like how we got black people in the Odyssey. >> [laughter] >> Can't believe this ████ >> Yeah, it's crazy. >> And oh, but you know what I guess like a slight upside to this. There are small businesses like there's this one company called Limited Run and they make physical versions of games that never had them. So they'll yeah, so they'll they'll do they'll do it's called Limited Run cuz they'll just sell a limited amount, but they'll make they'll make physical versions or collectible box sets for horrible games that are really bad and people think it's so funny and entertaining that they buy them. And they're priced way higher because they're they're more like novelty collectors items, but I see companies like that being more on the rise where
6:42 they're like, "Oh, okay, you guys still want physical? We'll make them and we'll make them at a limited quantity and and inflate the price." >> That's the thing is the piracy community is about to eat. >> Oh, the piracy is going to be back big time. >> It's it's First of all, it never went away, but it's about to balloon. >> Yeah. >> I don't think these companies understand what they're doing. They're pushing people away. It's like my beautiful NFL. I have to have like seven streaming services now if I want to watch every game. >> Yeah, all the games. They're all they're all separate. >> And NBA's I think even worse. So it's just like you push people to the high seas when you do that ████ You don't understand that you're doing. >> Another generation super savvy on pirating again. It'll be like 90s gen. >> Put it down in your new hard drive. You could download so much now. >> Well, but exactly, that's what people are going to do. They're going to be ripping ████ like never before. >> They stopped because it was more convenient to just go with whatever streaming stuff. Like I stopped too. I
7:32 completely stopped pirating because I'm like, it's so much easier just to turn it on like that, you know? >> But then not if it's not easy. >> Exactly. It's a you take away the ease and you're you're raising the demand for piracy. >> [laughter] >> If I got to have Peacock to watch a Thanksgiving Day ████ game, I am going to the high seas. I am bec- I'm putting on the eye patch, dude. >> Yeah. >> You guys are ridiculous. >> games are a big deal for not making them physical because sometimes they'll just limit access to games randomly for whatever reason. Oh, we're updating the system. Oh, we have to like do some maintenance. You just can't play it. You know, have you ever had Call of Duty? There's some days you just can't ████ play it. Just doesn't exist. >> Or you get you're you're done with work and you finally get to sit down in your chair and like there's a 420 GB update. You're like, oh, ████ [laughter] You're I guess I'm not playing tonight, dude.
8:22 >> And then now it's no longer a tinfoil issue to think you're downloading something that's harmful to you. You know what I mean? It's no longer like, ooh, boogeyman. It's like, no, there's a lots of things they could slip into updates that, you know, in some ways expose your system to threats. >> Do you guys think this is a more of a back in my day type of conversation and the young >> young kids love where it's going? >> I worry that that's just going to be it's going to be the norm in that way where we're just old men yelling at the sky. >> Yeah. >> But I think there is a resurgence in physical media that the young people are at the forefront of. >> They are. >> Are they? >> Yeah. >> They're the ones who started it. >> Good. >> They're buying records, they're buying videotapes, they're buying DVDs because it's that's cool. Cuz you know like with everything, the thing that people stop doing becomes cool to >> It's lame, yeah. It's >> You're lame and we like streaming services and all that and so that's lame. >> We find it convenient. I have a big thing a binder of DVDs that I never even touched. >> That's novel to this new gen now and
9:13 they're back to buying them. >> Yeah, remember when we had to carry a binder >> Yeah, that's right, yeah. >> and we went to like drive around in our car and we had to bust it out and we're like, do you want to hear Jodeci? Or like >> Yeah. Well, in the last few years, uh I think almost every year record sales have outsold, uh what is it called? >> iTunes. >> CDs for the first time. >> Oh, oh, wow. >> yeah. >> Vinyl. >> Vinyl records outsold CDs. Cuz if you think about it, >> Well, nobody's buying CDs. >> You go to Urban Outfitters, it's all vinyl. You know what I mean? Like that's already uh what is it called? Classified as the cool >> With that absolutely s█████ player that they always have? >> [laughter] >> So bad. >> talking about the one that comes in different colors? >> So bad. >> If it wasn't for the whole control thing, I could imagine being a part of like like a time share model of renting and then you just like you get to try 10 different cars cuz you're you're not
10:04 like you're just renting them all or like homes and everything and you get to be all over the world cuz you're just constantly you're like a part of a I don't know like a membership where you could just hey this week I want to live in Hawaii and then you just you just swipe your membership card and then you just plug in, you fly you get to live there for a couple weeks. That'll be kind of cool. >> There's a car club in Long Beach that works like that. >> Where you share cars? >> Have 20 exotic or picture cars in the warehouse. If you're a member, you just say which dates you want to take them and you can take them and bring them back. >> The so the the the pitch is convenient, but you never ride the appreciation, right? Cuz if you have the whole collection of cars, let's say there's 100 cars in there. Right now it's 30 bucks a month, I'm just guessing. Then later on it's 50 bucks, 100 bucks. As those cars appreciate over time the member the pay the payment yeah, you have to keep paying higher and higher
10:55 and higher. >> Yeah. >> Meanwhile, the guys that actually own the cars, the car that used to be 200 grand that's now a million, they can use that equity to go buy other cars to rent more to you. >> It's like Logan Paul selling pieces of his Pikachu illustrator and then he never paid out. >> Yeah, but then I if I pay one fee they're doing all the work and now I got access to a thousand cars instead of 20. >> Yeah, but you just keep having to pay. So it's like a >> If it fits your lifestyle, it works. >> It's like a tick that gets to just keep sucking on you cuz you're the host and they just keep sucking and sucking and sucking and sucking. >> Yeah, but if I don't have to do anything [clears throat] >> Yeah. >> and they do all the work, do you think that's a good that's >> it works for people cuz it's so convenient and that's the pitch. Like rent in the house. Look at convenience. >> Yeah. You don't get the appreciation, but your landlord takes care of all the ████ >> But it's like we were talking about recently with cars. Like imagine you you
11:45 own a car you so you think and then you want to turn on your your air conditioning to to extra cold and you have to buy a subscription service to it. >> Yeah, that's crazy. >> I think that's where we're going. >> Yeah. Oh, absolutely. Yeah. >> Yeah. >> You want your car to be safe? >> Yeah, right. So you like you think you own your car, but then you don't own the features in your car and that's kind of wack. >> I airbags don't go off cuz you didn't pay for the subscription? >> You you didn't pay last month. >> We're moving that direction guaranteed. We're going to definitely go in a direction where like suddenly you can't go over 75 in an area cuz your car won't let you. Because that area specifically has a higher rate of problems. And so they're like, "We're you trying to curb, you know, the accidents that have been happening in this area, you know. Do your part." They're all going to get controlled. >> They might do, man. >> First people who will vote for that are the moms who are like, "I'm just so scared that for my neighborhood." >> Women will vote for it. So you already lost half the ████ population. Like
12:35 >> ████ women. >> What they're afraid of what in their neighborhood? >> Of everything. Of everything. You know what I'm saying? Like it's about emotional ████ instead of like logical. >> All women love to be slaves, dude. >> Exactly why every vote gets landslide because when you have all the women combined with the emotional guys, that's already majority. >> That's 75% right there. >> Exactly, yeah. >> ████ women and guys who write poetry, WE'RE ████ SLAVES. >> [laughter] >> DUALITY of men, guys. If you scare them just enough, they'll they'll give up all the rights. >> Yeah. So you already never going to win, you know what I mean? As a dude. >> Make me feel safe, I'll give you everything. >> Like imagine being a guy and we we watch a cool video of like these little black baby dolls being thrown around in Jap- Japan and then they talk about like the soliloquy of mankind or something in that video. >> [laughter] >> For example. >> video. >> Yeah. >> You know, I am against all this, but I
13:27 do like just renting stuff, man. The more I own, the more I'm like, "F███, there's more things I got to take care of." >> You're the reason why we're going to lose that vote in this room. >> [laughter] >> I know. You want to write a >> Your campaign is too strong, man. I'm convinced. >> You're You're going to be mayor soon. >> I like the convenience, too, but I don't like to be like forced into that. I want to know that I chose it. >> No, I That's the thing. I know my physical DVDs are in my closet. I choose not to get them. >> [laughter] >> Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. It's choice, you know? You should be able to be credited for choosing. >> But have you ever bought a lot of things and then you regret it cuz now you have to clean them, take care of them, store them, put them somewhere? And then you're just like, "You know what? I ████ barely used this surfboard. I I should just rent it every time I go surfing." >> You're not wrong. >> That's my struggle with ATVs at this exact moment.
14:17 >> [laughter] >> I even asked Bart. I'm like, "Hey, should I get ATV?" Yeah, because I I just want one really bad, but I know I'll never use it. >> Or you could just go rent one, ride, have fun. >> But but then But then you you're Are you going to do guy math? And you're going to be like, "I should have just bought it. I should have bought it." Cuz I could have I If I So, if I do this 10 times, I could have just bought one. >> Because I want the joy of looking at it in my garage. >> [laughter] >> That's different. That's irreplaceable, dude. That's irreplaceable. Yeah. >> stupid. >> That's why my buddy has a stupid big boat in his garage. >> Yeah. >> But that's why if you left it up to women and gay guys to vote on whether guys could buy ████ they'd say no. >> That's true. >> Cuz they don't want to see that boat. >> Exactly. >> But I know that feeling when you walk up to it and you're like, "F███, yeah." >> Exactly. Like >> Tell a girl to go rent pillows. See if she'd be down with that. >> [clears throat] >> Dude, ████ that. >> Go rent bed trays. >> You know what worries me? Is You What
15:07 worries me is they would. >> Rent furniture? Yes. Rent pillows? See if it was a women-owned business. >> No, but think about it like this. ████ are seasonal even about pillows. >> So, I I can swap them out? >> It's an advantage cuz now I can swap them out more regularly and I can save money and then with girl math ████ Right. You're right. >> And then guys with hand tattoos are like, "Yeah, babe, that's great." I'm gay. I'm ████ gay. >> The soliloquy of man. >> Yeah, ████ Anthony.
