      Well if this is true then fuck Sony I will sell my ps5 pro and just play on my pc

      No, only once. You have 30 days to refund a game, so some people can buy a game, cut internet off their console, refund it, and keep playing (it’s a bit harder than that but you get the idea)

      After 30 day, you need to check with internet so Sony can be sure you haven’t refunded the game after the 30 day window. if you haven’t, ok then no shinanigans, you can stay offline

      Now, it’s not as bad as you think, OP, but this is STILL PUNISHING EVERYONE TO FIGHT A FEW HACKERS

      I mean their fan base keeps buying their $900 consoles, $120+ pay for cloud saves, $90 controllers and $80 games.

      They know said fans will tolerate any abuse at this point….

      This is what happens when you have no competition; basically turning into Nintendo.

      We went over this last week. It’s a one time sign in after a purchase that locks in your purchase indefinitely. You do not need to sign in every month to keep games.

      What I find annoying is getting a game digitally, it not working and then not getting a refund. I had this game called Age of Sigmar: Stormfront I think it was called. It ran like trash and froze a lot within the first 30 minutes of playing it. They wouldn’t refund it. This also happened with GTA 5. Because I downloaded it I couldn’t refund something that didnt work.

      You don’t have to sign in every month. You could download a game, play it. Not touch the PlayStation for 6 months, and log on and play again, you just have to connect to the internet for it to validate your license is active. If you can’t handle that for some reason (you download games at home and take your PlayStation to a remote cabin for over a month), you should consider buying physical media.

      They aren’t going to take the games away. Just for them to remain playable. If you miss one month, you don’t lose the library forever.

      Meanwhile pc does require a once per month sign-in and has for a long time. Playstation hasn’t even gone that far

    15. Mash709 on

      You have to be signed in online once within 30 days of the initial purchase, that’s all.

      One more argument for physical games.

      Game presevation first and foremost, but saving ~$20 a game doesn’t hurt either.

      The people excusing this are missing the point. Buying no longer means owning. They want your precious data. YOU are the product.

      This is all to kill the used game market. Cant sell the games you don’t like and no more waiting to buy games second hand for cheaper. Who cares how cheap the prices are, it’s temporary and you’re only renting your games. It sucks

    19. TheVginyTcikler44 on

      So sony is basically blockbuster now? We’re just renting the games for full price.

    20. Livingexistence on

      Wait, is this the new “share a game” gate that made xbox loose thousands of sales. Also Sony made an add that had 2 friends just hand games to eachother to show how you can share games on their system back then.

      ITS NOT GONNA DELETE YOUR GAMES. YOU JUST NEED AN INTERNET CONNECTION OCCASIONALLY TO PLAY THEM. geeze people cannot read…..
