The relevant section is blunt. "The Software is licensed to you, not sold," the EULA states. "You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and personal license to play or use the Software for your private, non-commercial use on the system or device it was intended for."

The terms also restrict renting, modifying, or obtaining games through unauthorised means. Nothing in there is new, technically. Sony's EULA has always said this. The timing is what makes it land differently right now.

    Misleading ass slop article written by a bazingabrain "web3 gaming" fed (look at the author bio under the article) but actually prolly written by AI

    The email was a whole copy of Sony's EULA

    Even the article admits "Here's the thing: Sony didn't send this email to stir the pot. It's almost certainly an automated compliance or account activity notification."

    A 1/4th of the article is advertising
