Pirate away. If you don’t know ask. Fuck the system.
You can’t steal what you can’t own.
If I won’t own them, I’m not buying them. This is them shooting themselves in the feet.
yeah but they don’t own their feet
This kind of thinking is why they’re taking so much heat
Its not enough they are ditching physical media, they’re being this brazen about it.
People need to stop supporting these companies. Stop buying Nintendo. Stop buying Sony.
Plus Microslop
I heard sega is thinking about releasing a handheld that takes carts 🤞
Oh cool, still i don’t trust them since they implement Denuvo on some of their games.
Where’d you hear that? :o
Scrolling somewhere… sorry I don’t have more info
I can prove in home that I don’t own any playstation past the 4.
Let’s see who loses.
Then why do they have the word “buy” on the PS store🤨
Because you buy it. It being a limited license of course, not a game.

Next time: Acquire license
Even if they succeed with a weird judge to prove this… It’s not the point. We want to own stuff, so either make “owning” available or we stop buying/renting.
Also, there is the common online sentiment “If buying isn’t owning, then piracy is not stealing” and I can’t help but believe that this will permiate even deeper into the gaming culture.
If I’ve already bought it I won’t even hesitate to pirate it.
Having backups of owned digital media is just good practice.
“Sony pushes the idea that “reasonable consumers would not be misled” into believing they own the games in their digital library”.
Wasn’t this the same basic legal outcome Fox News received when they were sued and it was determined that ‘no reasonable viewer’ would think Tucker Carlson was anything but entertainment? That worked out well.
But people who are easily fooled by such things are exactly the ones who need extra protection. Many laws exist to protect the weaker members of society.
Imagine how well digital games would sell if they showed up in your cart like: 1 x Revokable License for God of War $69 See Terms and Conditions* [Confirm Payment]
- Terms: we will do whatever the fuck we want. Conditions: whenever we want.
There’s a reason they say “Buy” instead of “Pay”.
It’s been going on for generations, but it’s no less dishonest for all that. Software sellers write complex EULAs for which the only valid answer is “Agree” because the store won’t take an open box back and the software won’t install unless we pretend to agree, so even us legitimate software enjoyers are pirates in our hearts. Meanwhile normies don’t even think about it that much. Fuck this whole system, but double fuck an online service that says “purchase” but will steal it back later. Fuck that.
1x temporary license to play. Duration of license unspecified.
Pretty sure in the past it was at least considered a lifetime license.
*Lifetime for the time the product/service is alive
If they end the thing, they can just pretend they did a rewrite and invalidate the current version/not develop it any further and maybe offer a migration discount (lol).
I’d prefer the model of “Buy version X for at least x years of feature updates and Y days of security updates”.
Its crazy how everybody got used to rental prices as high as physical copy.
Most people don’t know they are rentals
If I don’t own them, no reason to pay for them ever.
If buying isn’t owning, then piracy isn’t stealing.
Good thing I buy games on gog so I own them and I could copy them to a DVD if I really wanted to.
