PlayStation believes "reasonable consumers would not be misled" by its current disclosures

With the end of physical PlayStation games looming, the need for clear digital ownership rights is more pressing than ever.

For its part, Sony believes your rights are very clear: you do not own your digital games, and it’s unlikely you’re stupid enough to believe otherwise. At least, that’s roughly the argument the company’s lawyers are presenting in response to a proposed class-action lawsuit.

Sony argues that its current customer-facing disclosures ensure that “reasonable consumers would not be misled” into believing they actually own their digital games. That’s according to a Game File report (paid article link) citing an August 21 filing Sony’s lawyers made in California’s Northern District.

    And lemmy is thriving because individuals like you and me gave enough of a fuck to shift over to this place.

    I dunno about thriving, but it’s here and it’s kinda sorta close enough to Reddit that I don’t use Reddit anymore. But Reddit still exists. Similarly, GTA 6 will probably break sales records whether I buy it or not.

    The other thing is that conceptualizing it as “voting with your dollars” points out the problem straightforwardly. Some people have millions/billions/trillions to vote with.
