With the end of physical PlayStation games looming, the need for clear digital ownership rights is more pressing than ever.
For its part, Sony believes your rights are very clear: you do not own your digital games, and it's unlikely you're stupid enough to believe otherwise. At least, that's roughly the argument the company's lawyers are presenting in response to a proposed class-action lawsuit.
Sony argues that its current customer-facing disclosures ensure that "reasonable consumers would not be misled" into believing they actually own their digital games. That's according to a Game File report (paid article link) citing an August 21 filing Sony's lawyers made in California's Northern District.
And lemmy is thriving because individuals like you and me gave enough of a fuck to shift over to this place.
But look if someone wants to buy a game they can just do that. I was speaking more generally, like in spots you feel principled enough hell yeah be that nuisance.
I'm not saying like fixate on individual action or think your one part "moves the needle" but that it's part of collective action. Like how are you going to find your collective if you aren't out there showing what you're about.
It's like voting. Yeah yeah, it makes virtually no different. 1 half-brick in a sock is worth a million votes. But you've still got to pitch in and be one of the little drops. There are multiple borders in the war against working class people and you just do what you can in the ones you're able to.
PS Just to be clear, none of this is meant in a combative tone. I'm reading this as a friendly back-and-forth.
