PlayStation addresses DRM concerns
PlayStation has clarified its Digital Rights Management (DRM) policy, stating that purchased digital games will require a one-time online check to confirm the license, after which no further checks are needed. This addresses concerns that games might become unplayable after a set period, a policy that caused significant backlash for Xbox in 2013. The clarification aims to prevent exploitation of refund systems while assuring players they can continue to access their games.
