Just in time for them to take physical discs away! Edit: This is only in EU! For now.

It's totally easy to check if an account has a digital software purchase on it or not. That's just one database query. Sony is totally able to solve that.

    Easy on a technical level, yes, but also harder to define in a legal document level.

    A game counts - obvious. Does a game demo count? Does one piece of microtransaction DLC count in a F2P game? How does a legal document define those things?

    Now that scrutiny is on it, it seems like people would’ve preferred they define this granularly. But at the time, I’m going to guess they decided it wasn’t worth legal risk of having people they did not reserve the right to delete, but also needed to delete for GDPR.
