Might seem like consoles are constantly connected these days, but I can't sign into my PS3 since I just get stuck in a loop of being asked to verify my details. So yeah, this is bad for the future.
 
Gamestop out to cash in on the drama :story:

Its not a bug.

According to this, after 14-16 days (as in, once a refund period is up), then they silently switch your license to a permanent one.

So, apparently the Sony policy of deleting your digital games if you don't log in every 30 days wasn't a quirk.

This is just hilarious.

Someone straight up asked the PS Online clanker Assistant about the policy.

I can only imagine the hackers salivating at the idea of taking down PSN again for over a month and turn every PS5 into overpriced paperweights.

I find it really funny that people (mostly sony fans) are trying to gasslight people and themselves into thinking this is a hoax or it's fake news when we can clearly see that Sony is trying tp sneak thier way into doing what Microsoft did with the Xbox One execpt thier ever incompetent deaigners ended up ratting themselves out.

If you know how to use bittorrent and know how to Google Fu, you can easily get games that won't be subject to this shit, nor will end up expiring until you decide to nuke the files off your computer.

Thanks to Sony’s new draconian DRM, they saved me $600-$800 bucks. Funny how you have more ownership of your games if you just straight up torrent or direct download them,

Considering how the entertainment industry through corporate consolidation has collectively decided that not only costumers have no ownership rights for the content they buy, they straight up put limitations on how, when and where you can access this content (and God forbid it is not the original released but the butchered and censored versions they frankensteined for "the current year" audience), more than ever, piracy is being legitimized as the true safeguard that people have to preserve and own content.

I feel the same way. I pay for a few streaming services for the wife and kids. But when it comes to buying movies or watching a show on a different streaming service, I just download it. If I could buy a DRM free copy of a movie or tv show, I would do that.

If I’m buying games these days, 95% of the time, I just buy through GOG since i get a DRM free copy of the game.

Outside of that, I’ll go to the ends of the internet to torrent or download it from a site like Archive.org.

As Gabe Newell famously said, "piracy is a customer service problem."

I still can't believe the only lasting lesson these dipshits learned from the DIVX debacle was "well shit, we just didn't try to fuck them hard enough."
 
Probably late because we all got distracted by Sony’s DRM shenanigans, but it’s honestly impressive the kind of generational fumble Sony has had with the Live Service Push.

The only success they’ve had not only had shockingly little to do with anything Sony did - in fact I’d argue that Sony pushing the PSN requirement actively fucked them - but it’s the game where the devs seem to actively like pissing off their player base…

If I learned anything since then, is that if you make it shiny and pretty enough, people will throw their ownership and privacy away.

Sony finally came arround to adressing thier DRM fuckup, it's totally a check against refund exploits, forgetting that Sony has among the most restrictive refund policy so it's already a moot point and they can just kill the licence themselves if this "exploit" happens.

Thanks Mr. Hassan "Random Jeet" Nasir, independent contractor contributor to [checks notes] "Games Journalism" outlet Gamespot, for regurgitating a press statement and quoting a reddit post before deferring to fucking Kotaku for the interesting revelation that apparently people can copy allegedly copy-protected games to/from allegedly locked down PS5 consoles and allegedly transfer license files as well, and it works.

How 'bout that PS5 security, eh folks? All that locking-down-of-shit and you can still just copy game data and licenses from system to system, unchecked, and it works. Ain't that neat?
