The detailed sourcing directly attacks Sony's legal claim that a reasonable person wouldn't expect to own their digital purchases on the PlayStation Store.

I had a PS4, with a couple of digital games, then I sold it and I didn't have ps for a few years, recently I got a PS5 and my account didn't exist.

Seems like Sony remove your account and your games if you don't login in 3 years....

This feels like owning a yogurt.

    You can't spell class action without ass. Or something to that effect, anyway, fuck Sony.

    Just can't win. They want to extract as much as humanly possible from every human. Like wtf, who cares, we just want to play games we spent money on and not risk you sneaking in and stealing them from our accounts.

    It's not hard at all to be a decent fucking person. I hate large companies with such passion, I'll NEVER stop sharing your pirated bullshit. Fuck you sony and all the others like this.

    If they meet in any reasonable court, Sony is fucked.

    Well, any person who has made a PSN account in the past 15 years is bound by arbitration. An arbiter that Sony pays. An arbiter that will not get paid again if they rule against Sony.

    So... probably not reasonable.

    Forced arbitration provisions have been thrown out before. So have contract clauses that ban class actions.

    A company can put whatever they want in their agreements, whether it is enforceable is a completely different story, and things are tossed out by courts all the time.

  • Sony needs new leadership. Feels like they're going to be the next Xbox.

    "Do we really "own" anything? How absurd. Memento mori, dust in the wind."

    The jury applauds, Sony wins
