Edge: DRM-free PS4 is a PR play – expect similar policies across both consoles, say sources

Sony is pretty clear that 3rd parties have their say.. and when edge ask developers about it what they heard their publishers are going to do... people on this site go banana.. posting 1000 times about what Sony said while Edge isn't asking Sony... -_-"

We have no idea who they asked actually. So why should we believe anything they said?

Sony came out on stage and made a public annoucement about it. Now, you want people to believe Edge's source over official statements?

Sure, buddy. Sure.

??? The official statement is it's up to the publishers.. Edge is picking up noises from developers and their publishers.. Why are people bringing Sony back into this while they said it's up to the publisher? Has any Publisher said anything about their DRM policy? Has any of them said no we are not doing it? is that why people are so tense?

Quite simple. Your thread title implies that Sony lied. 

While they said it's up to the publishers. That it's the same policies that are already in place on the PS3. Did you see a lot of DRMs or the current consoles? Yes, there are going to be some greedy nonsense being pushed by some of the bigger publisher, but the fact that it's not mandatory suggests that it won't be as widespread as people like you seem to want to believe. There are many developers that aren't for that kind of practice.
