There is a class-action lawsuit against Sony claiming that it doesn’t make it clear, when clicking buttons marked “Buy” and “Purchase” while paying for PlayStation games, that in fact the customer is buying nothing resembling a property right, just a limited, revocable licence to play the game. Sony wants the suit thrown out on the grounds that “reasonable” customers would not be misled into believing that they own what they buy. To counter that, a group called the Consumer Rights Wiki has compiled a list of instances, up to 44 long and counting, where Sony does quite clearly say that buyers “own” what they buy. <https://www.tomshardware.com/video-games/playstation/consumer-rights-wiki-documents-at-least-44-instances-in-which-sony-says-you-own-your-games-project-is-direct-assault-on-sonys-claim-in-recent-ownership-lawsuit> The fundamental issue itself isn’t new; what’s new is it is coming to a head now that Sony wants to do away with the sale of physical media, leaving buyers with nothing they can call their own, if and when the company should decide to make a product simply disappear, as it has done in the past.
