Sony's policy on Media Content "You buy it, you own it."

4.5
When Sony announced the PS4 in Febuary, people thought they were very reluctant to give any details about the product. Many thought Sony were going to be changing a lot, but they are not. They have changed a bit, but in a good way for the community. Andrew House stated that if you bought the game, you should have the freedom to do what you want with it.

They have basically stated that there are not going to be any restrictions what so ever when it comes to your games, and what you do with them.

Sony are not trying to persuade modding they dint say nothing about modding at all they are just giving you freedom to do what you want with your games.

cil So this is Sony's answer to Mircrosoft's "if you get banned you lose all your games" policy. Sony's really dominating this one.


Yeah I mean what modder won't read this and instantly flock to **** up your console's experience?


Actually, they tweeted that being banned forfeits all licenses on 360, not Xbox one. They clarified that and said they are unsure for the Xbox One.

Zero_Point_Five No restrictions? this most likely in turn means no punishments...so they are effectively encouraging modding? nice move sony


Seeing as they are on the subject of games they mean no restrictions on what you want to do with the game...


You do realize modding is something you can do with a game, right?

911 I rent games ALL The time , so the whole used games thing will effect me , and ALOT of other people that also like to rent games to try it out or for whatever other reason.


It's affect...

Ever heard of demo's? Plus the rental market isn't going anywhere, there are measures they can put in place making the renting of games possible.


But if you're going to get a single player game that is a beat once and you are done with it, why buy it and not be able to sell it or lend it to friends? Even if they make it possible, they will still make it stressful...


You're dumb. You can lend games to friends who are on your friends list for 30 days or more on Xbox One. Plus with Family Group, anyone in your group, up to 10 people, can access your game library. Doesn't have to be same console, or even real life family members. Learn the facts.

The fact that you would even bring demos in the argument is just dumb renting a game is temporarily owning it, a demo is a segment of the game. Speaking of demos PS+ has that better to, they have timed trials were you get to play the whole game for an hour not just a random single segment that could begin in the middle of the game.
