Titans of Tunes Vs. Indie Artists: The Battle Continues ![Podcast Dialogue]

This week’s podcast is a discussion around the recent comments from Ubisoft executive Philippe Tremblay concerning the future of game subscriptions . Specifically:

“One of the things we saw is that gamers are used to, a little bit like DVD, having and owning their games. That’s the consumer shift that needs to happen. (…) So it’s about feeling comfortable with not owning your game.”
