@BearForceCubHQ@lvyzge@Sony@PlayStation No shit that’s why we are pissed about physical going away. I’ll be “left behind” fuck it.. your generation is stupid, not to believe in real ownership. Also it’s not against the law to copy or back up the files, it’s against the law to distribute it.
@BearForceCubHQ@lvyzge@FoxxyUncMoxxie@Sony@PlayStation If I sell you a product I can’t come into your house and take it away so I would argue that yes they are scamming you. And no you are not getting a product. You are getting temporary access.
@lvyzge@FoxxyUncMoxxie I don’t think they want that.. which is why physical is being demolished. They have much more to gain when you don’t own what you spend money on.
@ShacksSCB@Sevvy_707 I mean if you want to get a game the day it comes out pre-orders just make sure you have a copy held for you. At this point seems like it’s needed when you buy physical.
@JamieThinksAlot@IGN Dude blocked me so I figure I would just drop these here.
Who is toxic here? I’d say the person saying they are better than others. Lol
You don’t own digital unless it’s DRM free and locally stored. Don’t listen to these clowns who don’t know enough about the subject matter.
@JamieThinksAlot@IGN It’s not toxic to believe in ownership, and attempt to stand up for it. It is toxic to drop news without any path forward on digital rights, all while creating a monopolistic ecosystem, order your employees to remain silent, while the suits ignore long time players.
@JamieThinksAlot@FolloWilliaMe@IGN Emulation isn’t illegal and it’s considered at legitimate way to back up your own copies. Yet in the TOS emulation of purchased games is not allowed. Having a gaming hiatus for a few years (inactivity) can result in account deletion- with no way to reclaim your digital goods.
@JamieThinksAlot@FolloWilliaMe@IGN Bro you accuse everyone of being negative but looking at your profile you are one sad negative person.
If you have to sign a TOS that allows them to reclaim your purchased property then it’s not actual ownership.
@JamieThinksAlot@IGN Also have you ever even used PlayStation support? It’s just not good, no negativity just factual. I mean FFS there was cases of people buying stellar blade and not being able to return it because they launched the demo for the game. Before it ever came out. Crazy
@JamieThinksAlot@IGN There are cases of it happening. Being honest is not negative, I cannot help it that you perceive the truth that way. However you don’t own when you buy a licenses. Once again PlayStation says it in their TOS.
@JamieThinksAlot@IGN You can think whatever you want but it’s already happened and it will happen more. I never said they were, but it is anti consumer to lock out 130ish countries from buying games, and if I buy something they reserve the rights to take it back. Ownership shouldn’t be conditional.
@JamieThinksAlot@IGN As for your original comment I dare say the 200+ physical ps4/ps5 games I own, years of PlayStation plus, engagement on the platform & yes in some cases digital purchases, is worth something. Yet this is what we are seeing from “new wave” fans and PS themselves. “We’re worthless”
@JamieThinksAlot@IGN Also what if you get hacked, or if the ban was a mistake? You’re basically SOL with no way to get it fixed because support is bad. They have essentially zero return policy, which is crazy. It’s literally just not a very consumer friendly model.
@JamieThinksAlot@IGN What are you not understanding? It’s in the TOS that is why Sony just removed purchased movies from people’s libraries. You don’t own digital you own a limited license. There is a reason game companies don’t want to change the language in the TOS to favor buyers.
@JamieThinksAlot@IGN Last I checked if I purchase a mattress and remove the label that you’re “not suppose too” the mattress company can’t come take it out of my home leaving me without a bed or the money I paid them.. the only digital things you own are locally stored and DRM free.
@JamieThinksAlot@IGN This is not true they reserve all rights to revoke and once again your saying that you own a digital game. How can you simultaneously own and have it taken from you… either you own it or you don’t.
