Sony Tells Court PS Digital Purchases Grant Licenses, Not Ownership
The company made the statement in court filings responding to a lawsuit over PlayStation digital purchases.
TLDR
Sony stated in court filings that reasonable consumers know digital PlayStation game purchases grant licenses rather than ownership. The company called it implausible that buyers believe they obtain ownership of the games. Multiple posts on X reported the filings, with some users calling the argument semantics or false advertising. Separate posts showed Xbox users converting physical discs to digital licenses on that platform. No resolution to the Sony lawsuit appears in the posts.
