With the end of physical PlayStation games looming, the need for clear digital ownership rights is more pressing than ever.

For its part, Sony believes your rights are very clear: you do not own your digital games, and it’s unlikely you’re stupid enough to believe otherwise. At least, that’s roughly the argument the company’s lawyers are presenting in response to a proposed class-action lawsuit.

Sony argues that its current customer-facing disclosures ensure that “reasonable consumers would not be misled” into believing they actually own their digital games. That’s according to a Game File report (paid article link) citing an August 21 filing Sony’s lawyers made in California’s Northern District.

      In case you’re not joking or for others who don’t know:

      “vs code” is “Visual Studio Code”, which is a common code editor many use to program.

      In case you are joking.

      Why the hell is everything such a pain to do in vs code? You have to know the magic commands to type for everything it’s insane

        I was joking; “you lost me” in the sense of “I’m not following there” not “I dont know where I am”. I actually quite like it in the form of codium (fuck Microsoft). I do appreciate the response.

        I write in Ruby and VS Code is incredibly annoying to work with. It always assumes I want some ugly language’s formatting; no thank you.

          Seriously. I write in c# mostly these days and I’m like, screw your conventions. I want my snake case and non capitalized variable names. It makes sense to me. And vs code tries to push var/new so you can’t tell what a variable is typed as easily. It’s so annoying.
