Comment on Sony Reminds PS Users They Don't Own Digital Games

  Not in this way. I can literally still play my UMD games on my old PSP, and Sony can’t do shit about it.

    But that has nothing to do with anything. The rules are still the same.

      No, it’s literally not. Sony can take away your license for a digital game for any or no reason. They cannot take away your license for the physical good outside of very specific cases (and they will require a court order to do it, unlike revoking a digital license).

        Sigh. Whatever.

        The license doesn’t change. You are arguing about the ability to revoke it by taking it from you physically. That is two very different things.

        The license did not change. If you download a game and turn off the internet, guess what, it isnt going away. If you clone the drive and restore it, it isnt going away.

        These are just weird semantics. There is no reason (and it has happened before) that the same thing couldnt happen with a physical device as long as you connect it to the internet. They could revoke the key from a physical disc just as easily buy banning it from the device if they wanted to.
