Wait, how does this work? I mean, I get that it's possible, but how much do they let you do with a game without buying it? I would think that if you are commanding (this is the taking over option right?) then you are essentially playing the game.

They said it's the full game. So presumably limited time.

While it could be limited time I don't see why they would. It's not different from physically going over to your friends house to play their game, you're just able to do it remotely. It's not as though it's simultaneous connections to two instances of the game, you're just given control of their PS4. Very similar to an app called "LogMeIn" that allows remote access control of a PC from a phone or other PC.

A dedicated online group could share a very small number of bought copies between a large number of people. Unlike sharing game keys there'd be no risk to adding your copy to the pool.
