Sony is defending itself against a lawsuit over PlayStation digital games by arguing that 'reasonable' consumers understand they do not own the digital games they purchase. The company stated in court that PlayStation buyers already know they are buying licenses, not permanent rights to the games.
In the ongoing legal battle, Sony asserts that digital game ownership is not plausible and that customers who pay $70 for a digital game on the PlayStation Store are actually purchasing a license to use the game, not owning it outright.
The company's legal stance is seen as an attack on consumer rights, as it challenges the notion that digital purchases should confer ownership similar to physical goods. Sony's defense hinges on the claim that consumers are aware they do not own the digital games they buy.
This legal argument is part of Sony's broader defense strategy in the lawsuit, where the company is countering claims that digital game purchases should be treated as ownership rather than a license agreement.
