What the hell are you gonna do with all 8 of those games? Also trying to sell it. Now some1 has to sell it to a customer with all 8 games. Leads into a whole mess |
Solution: You confirm ownership of the online account, Sony transfers licenses over to the new console for free. Alternatively, you log into your online account with the new PS4, it allows you to transfer games over for free.
Selling the 8 games: Person who purchases a game just pays the nominal activation fee after purchase.
It's not ideal, but it's better than no game license transfer at all.
I do forsee another problem, what if a family owns 2 PS4's? Can they not share games between systems? Can you only play it on the PS4 in the basement and not the one in the bedroom? I guess as long as games are tied to an account, not a console, this shouldn't be a problem.
