Re: USED GAMES HAPPY DANCE!!!!!!! Sony Confrims it
Has no one pointed out the fact that Sony is leaving this up to the developers- EA or someone could pull some bad-ass DRM still.
Not to diminish the good news of this, I'm just saying that its not as perfect as we might hope.

Really the situation is just unchanged. Any developer could currently require an online pass to play a game. Heck, even Nintendo could do that- even with their bassackwards store system.Forlorn Drifter wrote:Has no one pointed out the fact that Sony is leaving this up to the developers- EA or someone could pull some bad-ass DRM still.

If it's up to publishers we can just boycott the publisher. We don't have to stop gaming because of some greedy assholes.

Re: USED GAMES HAPPY DANCE!!!!!!! Sony Confrims it
I really don't understand how there was any confusion over Sony's stance on all this when the statement is from before the PS4 event. This is something we've known since February. There's non-mandatory DRM that can be utilized, and you can expect publishers like EA, UbiSoft, and Square Enix to utilize it (they're some of the worst in the PC realm, I doubt their philosophies will differ much on console)
