In what is probably another attempt to keep people in the dying playstation ecosystem or Sony trying to do something about the PS5's private keys leaking, Sony has implemented a new system where all digital games you have onto your PS4 or PS5 where they have a 30 day licence to be allowed to play it that must be renewed via internet. Failure to do so will render the licence void and deny you from playing the game until you reconnect to the internet.

Discuss how there will be little uproar for a day or two at most and people making tons of articles and claims about the hypotheticals that other megacorps will do the same thing Sony just did while also ignoring Sony doing this in the future.
 
as a 100% offline gamer i am glad i havent bought any of the current modern systems. ps4 pro was the last sony system i bought.

i dont want to have to share my gaming anayltics with companies. they dont need to know how many hours i play each game and what i am doing in the games.

people think its just about piracy but its not. its about them collecting all this additional data on how you game.

That alone tells me how clueless you are. And way to jump the gun on reporting fake news. Not sure why the specific Sony hate either because even if this were accurate (which it's not), Xbox has had "check in" requirements for a long time. Both PS+ and Game Pass games have always had a "check in" requirement.
 
Crap DRM measures.

Glad I don't buy PS content/products at all.

Funk Sunny of a Beach.

It's a glitch/bug occurring only for some people. None of this is happening on any digital games I have purchased. Not a single one.

@BlusterBong Laughing with zero rebuttal is what's actually pretty funny. There are already reports of this being an unintended bug. And and as I stated above, this is not occurring on ANY of my PSN purchases new or old. Nor is it happening on my sons PS5, or my son in laws, or my best friends sons. But go on, laugh all you'd like. I'll keep this all in mind when you and your source are proven to be full of it. :)

Many gaming organizations: "this is an exclusive that requires money."

Me: "this is my exclusive: it's called my cash and you will not have it, as I have mods on very modifiable games over the years."

Not my idea initially.

Being a clown screaming fake news and "works on my machine" is already hard to belive. You arn't making your case any better.

its only appearing on ps4 systems it seems

It's also very much real as if your CMOS dies, it also kills your ability to play the game.



PS5 is also affected, it just doesn't tell you the durration of the licence and errors if it expires.

Edit:Amongst some retweets from the major breakers of the news, someone showed this happening before it started cropping up

this is some real YouTube "specific users get inflicted by new "feature" while others don't", methinks.

Great. They didn't learn from the Xbox One, apparently.

That is what they'll tell everyone when this backfires hard. It's an age old story. Try out a new "feature" on a subset of users to gauge the reaction, and then when it all goes south, pretend it was just a bug or a mistake.

Don't be so quick to believe that this isn't 100% intentional. Companies do this kind of shit all the time.
 
What a great groundbreaking feature! Imagine, I die alone in my room an no one notices, just Sony asking throught Playstation "Hey man are you alrghtey? You don't look so good, better take a break." and then finally calling the cops.

You screaming conspiracy theories about why it's happening isn't making your case any better. From everything I've seen on several sites most are leaning towards agreeing with me on the matter. Time will tell, but your topic title is not accurate whatsoever. "Sony now requires you to connect online to play your games, period." Period? That's why it's not happening to the majority, and not on PS5, or that it was a PS+ title in the image from X?

Speaking of subscription titles. You conveniently glossed over the part that Game Pass & PS+ games have always required a "check in" after being offline for a specific amount of time. 😂 Clown.

Time to get people to stop fighting and agree on things.

Anyone here agree in common that:

-windows updates are awful

-mods can potentially be great for games

-the armored core series on the original sony playstation console was fun

-raising prices and denying consumer freedom with their own personal purchases of a product for the sake of extortion should be denied in general

?

I wasn't the one crying about internet stickers and claiming that "it's just x, y, and z!" When it's obvious what will happen if left alone, bug or not. Also, glad the title caught your attention, it did it's job like any title to a user submitted news thread post has to.

Can we talk about something more fun? Like Boomers vs. Zoomers?

I'd say Boomer wins here; zoomers have low health, except that Boomer is in an RPG and must take turns.

It's been a while since I've seen that amount of deflection and evasion from someone. But let's pretend your claims (and those in the X post) are accurate. It's still a zero issue. They have the digital game you need Internet to download it. You're acting like people who buy digitally don't have any means to access the internet. 😂

Look at all of the comments on X and elsewhere. Majority are claiming bs on this. And crying? Never happened. I pointed out facts of the situation and you did nothing but deflect and make a lame "crying" comment because you had no intelligent rebuttal to offer. Blocked. Moron.
