AI Summary

Sony recently claimed that “reasonable consumers” understand they do not truly own the digital games they purchase, prompting a consumer‑rights wiki to compile over 30 instances where Sony told customers the opposite—that they do own their digital purchases. A class‑action lawsuit has been filed alleging the PlayStation Store fails to clearly disclose that digital purchases are merely revocable licenses, not permanent ownership. The lawsuit argues that once a player buys a game, DLC or cosmetic pack on the Store, access can be withdrawn at any time, meaning the purchase does not guarantee indefinite access. The consumer‑rights group continues to track each contradictory statement from Sony.
