    If it’s admitted they’re not owned, then ‘rent’ is logically what they should be marketed under. I don’t think I’m the first around here to suggest this.

    This shouldn’t be hard for a decent lawyer, given Sony admitted this themselves.

      I do hope a lawyer makes the argument about that kind terminology, that you’re not purchasing something but renting it, and using “purchase” is deceptive.

        It’d be good to see, yeah. I think it’d make a significant difference to improving the rights of those purchasing console games in particular.
