@Ryan25700722538 @Elvick So in other words, you effectively own the copy in question

[Dilly Dork @DillyDork]

As someone who bought games both digitally and physically, I never once knew I was only buying a revocable license. If I had known, I would have stuck with physical completely

[RONIN 💿 @TheLastRonin714]

Sony argues that “reasonable consumers” already understand they don’t truly own their digital games. Fine—change the confirmation button from “Purchase” to “Rent” & see how sales are affected. Consumers will immediately hesitate, exposing how misleading the current terminology is

[Dilly Dork @DillyDork]

@Mxssinho @keir_92 @JoeDaniel81 @Djmoyer23 And what makes it different between then and now is that there has always been a physical release alongside the digital. When it’s all digital, the sense of ownership is officially gone, and now you’re doomed to only purchase on the PS store

[Dilly Dork @DillyDork]

@Mxssinho @SmplyCmplicated The warning is super tiny and right next to the big bright button that says Confirm Purchase

[Dilly Dork @DillyDork]

@JoeDaniel81 @Djmoyer23 @SmeltedFist Key word there is tiny

[DiscussingFilm @DiscussingFilm]

The new LEGO Mandalorian special includes a reference to Gus Fring's death in ‘BREAKING BAD’.

[Dilly Dork @DillyDork]

@Djmoyer23 @JoeDaniel81 @SmeltedFist You expect everyone to read and understand this?

[Dilly Dork @DillyDork]

@AryaTheOpossum @OncleJazzie Which is the problem. They can take away your purchase and demand you buy a “superior” product for more money

[Dilly Dork @DillyDork]

Love how this meme was probably made by a chud who couldn’t get a girl, and now most versions of it just have everyone being cool with each other

[Dilly Dork @DillyDork]

@rieper47 @Djmoyer23 Back then it was made clear and concise not to redistribute illegal copies. You still own that copy of Ocarina of Time, you just cannot create new copies and sell those. Here and now, they are saying you don’t even get to own the game anymore

[Dilly Dork @DillyDork]

@Tome_demasiado And how exactly would they revoke my physical copy of Bloodborne?

[Dilly Dork @DillyDork]

@rieper47 @Djmoyer23 That would effectively lead to plagiarism, as you are reselling the product in an illegal manner, which is not the main focus of this original post

[Dilly Dork @DillyDork]

@rieper47 @Djmoyer23 The only way to effectively revoke a physical game, is if said game exclusively needs to always be online, as the game will no longer function when the servers get shut down. Concord is a very recent example of that

[Dilly Dork @DillyDork]

@OncleJazzie Yeah, it was available digitally on Steam, Xbox, and PlayStation. Just a couple years ago, Ubisoft revoked everyone’s licenses and delisted the game. Now it only exists in its physical form

[Dilly Dork @DillyDork]

@rieper47 @Djmoyer23 What game might this specific agreement be for?

[Dilly Dork @DillyDork]

@NeuralException 20 years ago, I was 6. I would have not had any idea any of this was happening. I was more concerned with watching the next episode of SpongeBob, as was a large number of consumers were back then

[Dilly Dork @DillyDork]

@rieper47 @Djmoyer23 And how many people do you think on average actually read the entire EULA?

[Dilly Dork @DillyDork]

@Djmoyer23 I didn’t read it because of the big, bright button that says Confirm Purchase just being right there, which was the only thing I was looking for, as I just wanted to get my ass handed to me in Street Fighter

[Dilly Dork @DillyDork]

@OncleJazzie Except when they’re revoked like Assassin’s Creed 1

[Dilly Dork @DillyDork]

@Djmoyer23 @JoeDaniel81 @SmeltedFist And most people do not read the agreement since they’re normally 30+ pages long on average. “I just wanna play Demon’s Souls, I don’t wanna read” is the mentality of the average consumer

[Dilly Dork @DillyDork]

@Zackbeva27 You can’t revoke a physical license unless under the specific circumstance that the game is entirely online
