Rumor: Sony had a DRM system for the PS4, but it's now on hold

Guys don't deceive yourselves, Sony stated they will let thirds choose if they want it or not on their games, it's up to them, as thirds want to make money with used games sales, they want a DRM system on Ps4 as well as on XOne.

This is what I believe will happen too. 

It will be interesting to see what third parties will include this DRM in their games.   Ubisoft and EA are likely candidates since they already implement drm in most of PC games.

I think "leave it to publishers" won't change anything in the grand scheme of things. If MS is doing it full force on the Xbone then 3rd parties will do the exact same thing on the PS4, sure it's optional, but that won't stop 3rd parties from taking advantage of it. Sony 1st party games and indie games will be safe, but those represent a very low percentage of a console's library, so in the end it will be the same as the Xbone (unless you go exclusively on 1st party and indie games).

I know many publishers will take advantage of this, specially the bigger ones like Activision,EA and Ubisoft.  But I don't think all publishers will implement DRM.

 I'm waiting for Sony to announce the policies for their first party titles.  Most of the games I play on my PS3 are first party.

Supporting companies that want to take my right of freely reselling my  games, is out of question for me.
