List of references on Sony websites to players "owning" their digital games

Sony's official websites contain references suggesting players 'own' their digital PlayStation games, despite the company historically granting only licenses. This apparent contradiction has become a focal point in a class-action lawsuit challenging Sony's digital ownership policies.

Background

Sony PlayStation's terms of service typically state that digital games are licensed, not owned. This lawsuit highlights the growing consumer pushback against platform holders' restrictive digital licensing practices.
