DO WE REALLY OWN OUR GAMES
You bought it.
You downloaded it.
It’s sitting proudly in your library.
But… do you actually own it? 🤔
Issue #017 takes a gander at the increasingly complicated world of physical and digital game ownership and asks a question that’s becoming harder to answer as the industry moves further towards digital licences and online services.
But that’s not all we’ve got this week…
🎮 Gaming News – Can anyone actually keep up with the ever-growing release calendar?
😂 Gaming Oddity – When players discover ways to play games that the developers never intended.
❤️ Community Gander – The players who refuse to let their favourite games disappear.
💰 Wallet Watch – Sometimes the best time to buy a game is… not yet.
⭐ Worth A Gander – Meet Claude. A strange little indie game, a suspiciously helpful roommate and only a couple of hours of your time.
⚔️ Azeroth Adventures – The story continues… and after twenty years away, Gramepa has finally rebuilt his gold, gear and collection of mounts in World of Warcraft Classic.
🚗 Gramepa’s Los Santos Story – One last drive through Los Santos. This time we’re looking past the explosions and taking a proper look at the characters, writing, humour and narrative of GTA V.
🎰 Arcade Files – A trip back to the 1990s and the unmistakable sound of a busy amusement arcade.
🎮 Gramepa Is Currently Playing – Azeroth is still consuming most of my gaming attention, while Los Santos gets another visit for the new Shorts series.
Plus:
🔥 A hot take
☕ Some questionable Gramepa wisdom
😂 A gaming moment we’ve all experienced
🎯 A new Gander Challenge
🦆 More duck-related nonsense
💬 And this week’s community poll
As always, Gaming Gander isn’t here to tell you what to think.
It’s here to give you something interesting to think about.
So have a read, have a laugh, have a gander…
…and perhaps do a little research of your own.
💬 Do YOU think you really own your digital games?
I’d genuinely like to know what you think.
A quick gander at the gaming world.
