Why own when you can rent for a long period of time." Can always tell a Sony gamer.... LMAO.. You must not know you have never owned a game. Open the instruction manual and read the back of it on ANY game going back to the Atari 2600. You are buying the rights to play the game. It's always been that way regardless of what you think you may know. Companies never have and never will sell software. They sale a license to use that software. If they sold you the actual software you could do anything you wanted with it, even rewrite it and resale it.lol Anywho, OT. Sony fans would be okay with it. Just like they were made about used games til Sony announced the exact same thing be left up to 3rd parties. Sony fans have not only done a complete 180 on used games now, they are actually making excuses for Sony. as if 3rd parties were forcing this on Sony and they unlike Nintendo had no choice but to accept it. History has proven that Sony fans are always against something til its on their console then its beyond anything offered elsewhere. |
Gamers have always owned the disc and the ability to do what they please with it. Fine print on a manual is meaningless in this reguard.
Not 100% sure but I believe I read somewhere that its legal to create backups of games you have purchased.
Unlike what you think I will not support Sony if they have drm similar to Microsoft's. They, like Microsoft, need to learn not to bite the hand that feeds them.
I don't understand people who would readily give up the right to buy/sell used games. We've had that right for decades. The days of being able to just pop a disk/cartrige in and play is gone and some seem to be fine with that, its kinda sad.
