Lock if oldd news

 

 

I’m not exactly sure what’s going on, but it appears there is some type of authorization that goes on with reselling PS4 disc based games. More info below.

Yes it is quite depressing. We now live in a day where when you pay 60 bucks (60 whole fucking dollars like cmon thats alot, most countries it's even more.) and you don't even own the god damn game. Makes no sense, but that's how it is.

Edit. NVM read what's going on with this. But Microsoft and Sony KNOW they would cream their pants if more rules like this were actually accepted by society. Like cmon that whole ps3 debacle with how you cant mod the console because it's licensed to you, like cmon.

you own the disc. you dont own whats on the disc. Its been like that for decades (probably longer than youve been alive)

This has been the case with all software for basically all of time. It just depends on whether or not companies actually enforce it.



Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.

I realize that, same goes for music and movie cds, I took what OP said as you don't own the disc either anymore. My bad.
