Sony reminds PlayStation users they don't own anything: "The software is licensed to you, not sold"
Yes, "even those you paid for"
Sony recently sent an email to folks with PlayStation accounts reminding them of the Terms of Service they agreed to when signing up, the lack of full rights to digital purchases, and all. The email has arrived not even two months after Sony made its decision to end physical disc production for new games on PlayStation consoles in 2028 public, which is certainly… a choice. If you've not received it yourself, it's quite lengthy, but it basically outlines all of the company's Terms of Service. Most notably, it gets into digital purchases, and how they can be rescinded – yes, "even those you paid for," as the email reads. "The software is licensed to you, not sold," after all.
