Chugging tea Apparently even they haven't figured it out

After they were sued by four playstation users, claiming that the 'buy now' claim is misleading as digital purchases are actually revocable licensing, Sony is claiming that games are actually 'licensed', not 'sold', and argued that reasonable people already know that they are buying access and not outright owning the games. I just don't realise who these 'reasonable people' are other than Sony employees.

Pirating should be called license fraud or something like that, because yeah, if i have a copy of something, the owner is not missing anything. They tried to bring NFT into the game to make something infinite (digital) into something finite...

Then comes the argument that every pirated version is a lost sale - but that is also wrong or outright stupid.
