LOL!!!!
1) Just because X company (let's say Campcom) made a deal to publish Y game (Lets say Resident Evil) in a PS1, doesn't mean Sony should have all rights over Capcom's games and Sony should be able to do as they please with it, Capcom makes the game = it belongs to Capcom, NOT SONY, I don't know how you rationalize Sony should be able to basically own it.
2) How do you think PlayStation, Xbox, Steam or any of the game developers for that matter would be able to stay in business if they refunded everyone who "bought" a game, beat it and 2/4/6 months later refunded it?... Even if the refund was partial they'd go bankrupt quickly since they invest money on other things and don't have it all laying around being available to refund everyon on the world who's done with their games...
By the way, if you read the terms of services, you don't "own" the games you "buy", you are basically renting it.
3) Yeah, let's all stop buying games from Sony/Microsoft, let's boycott them and make these companies go bankrupt, then PlayStation/Xbox brands will just be another Sega/Atari which do nothing but crappy ports of old games for other systems... That surely will make things better for everyone...
Nice logic there buddy...
1) (if Sony made a deal to publish and license, transferring legal ownership for the right to distribute using their product and channel, then they have the right to ensure that game is of service for the consumer for whatever platform, emulated or not, was ascribed to the contract, for the protection of "consumer confidence, and the copyright agreement that exchanged market and manufacturer processes") (published for psp, and emulated using the psp spread sheets, one and the same law, blah blah)
2) (Right now, the businesses are getting into lifetime contracts for the purchase account, as long as the service is available or etc.................at the same time they are recycling context, and limiting the number of devices for the license that is purchased...............buy, buy, buy............and less, less, less.........ingenuity for the purchasing power of the consumer (this is an issue the government needs to handle, along with the consumer protection agencies, if the businesses don't want to get ahead of this matter) (I'm sure this won't be an issue until the next technological breakthrough, I mean, I'm not taking about implants, or, criteria of first and second stage, necessity of life and necessity of right to private entity arguments, etc. blah blah)
3) That depends on the willingness of the powers to collaborate, all that really needs to happen is a fully equipped console that can play downloaded ps2/xbox/gamecube/dreamcast games at full speed using the mame cores, and that is a no cost solution for information that has become "public domain". then, a discount can be issued towards the purchase price for using the, forsaid digital distribution channel..........with the prospect of partial refund for hardware failure versus the expense of acquiring the software...............by all means we should have full rights to some version of a free trial and a refund in exchange for our digital right (s)
4) (Sony big's push that allows all of its games on various platforms to be pipelined to the ps4 via its streaming service, really tugs, the limits, of promoting piracy or/and, bringing another layer of digital rights to the consumer)
(whatever evil that was there, in addressing this issue officially, turned away microsoft's exclusive digital console aggrement with the "Xbox One", and whatever baggage followed that, maybe the bandages will hold for another generation before they fail?)
