I sympathize for those who think that Sony is breaking the law, but I also sympathize with those who regard the situation as broken, and demand the law be changed.
I do kind of get the reasoning behind digital licenses being non-transferable. But overall, with people’s libraries getting deleted as a consequence, altogether too much control is on the license holder’s side.
If it’s non transferable and can be shutdown or deleted at any time, it should be a whole damn lot cheaper than a disc that can still be sold or used a decade later.
In capitalism, the price of a thing is what someone is willing to pay. Games are marketed to kids with parents who can foot the bill or individuals who can afford it for themselves. They adjust their customer base with inflation, not their prices lol
I hate the current state of affairs but unfortunately I understand them. No one owns jack shit when it comes to IP media that isn’t general merchandise. CDs, DVDs, BluRays, digital licenses — all the same thing to Sony.
