Sony Reconfirms That Game Sharing On PS4 Is A Thing

New rumors claiming that Sony had gone back on its promise to allow gamers to resell their used games gets debunked by the firm’s boss of Worldwide Studios via twitter.

One line in the UK edition raised concern, stating that software you buy is,”licensed, not sold,” and added, “which means you acquire rights to use the Software, as described in these Terms, but you do not acquire ownership of the Software. If you do not comply with these Terms, we can terminate your Software Licence which means you will no longer have the right to use the Software.”

According to Eurogamer, Sony Entertainment Network clauses were also updated. Clause 7 reads, “You must not resell either Disc-based Software or Software Downloads, unless expressly authorised by us and, if the publisher is another company, additionally by the publisher.”

However, a Sony rep has told the site, “As SCE [Sony Computer Entertainment] announced at E3, consumers will be able to sell or share their PS4 disc products.”

But perhaps the strongest confirmation that gamers will still be able to do whatever they please with their used PS4 games came from Shuhei Yoshida.
