Playstation keeps reminding us that digital ownership is not ownership.

Obligatory if buying isn’t owning then piracy isn’t stealing

[-] Pons_Aelius@kbin.social 19 points 11 months ago

Yep. Rental is the more accurate term.

[-] boredtortoise@lemm.ee 13 points 11 months ago

Yeah. Digital ownership is very convenient. Sony's model is loanership or something

[-] HKayn@dormi.zone 11 points 11 months ago

It's all loanership, no matter which platform.

...and what you buy in a DRM-free form.

"You will own nothing and be happy"

Except they forgot the "be happy" part.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

That's because they don't care about that part. Others being happy doesn't buy them a private jet. Selling the illusion of ownership very much does.

In this case. But if you owned the keys to a room in a public accessible vault, you could properly own and have access to it.

Since its public, not even Sony could take it away.
