Fears mount that PlayStation has "re-armed the CBOMB" issue which stops you playing purchased games, amid 30-day DRM and AI chat bot confusion
PlayStation users are reporting a new DRM issue that requires digital games to be connected online every 30 days to remain playable, potentially re-enabling the 'CBOMB' problem. While initially suspected to be intentional, some sources suggest it may be an unintentional bug introduced while fixing an exploit, though Sony has not officially commented. The issue impacts both PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 consoles, with concerns raised about long-term game preservation and the reliability of AI customer support bots.
