This Holiday Season, Remember You Can Never Be Too Mad At Playstation
The article argues that Sony’s move towards digital licensing leaves PlayStation users with access to games rather than ownership, raising concerns about what happens when licences expire. It says this matters because physical games are becoming less common, leaving players with fewer ways to keep or lend the titles they have paid for.
It also warns that games could be changed or removed from digital libraries, potentially without players’ consent. The article cites Sony’s reported 127 million monthly active PlayStation 5 users and points to past content changes in game re-releases, as well as Sony removing films from digital libraries after licences expired; it presents the prospect of politically driven changes as a concern, not an established outcome.
In short
- PlayStation digital purchases are licences, not ownership.
- Expired deals could affect access to games.
- The article raises concerns about unannounced content changes.
