Sony has argued that it’s unreasonable to suggest buyers believe they own digital games they purchase, stating that consumers understand they’re merely licensing the content.
The company made the claim in a legal filing, asserting that the idea of "obtaining ownership" of digital titles is "not plausible." The argument comes amid ongoing scrutiny of digital ownership practices in the gaming industry.
The filing responds to arguments that Sony’s policies mislead consumers about their rights over digital purchases. Sony’s stance emphasizes the licensing model that underpins most digital game sales across platforms.
