The relevant section is blunt. "The Software is licensed to you, not sold," the EULA states. "You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and personal license to play or use the Software for your private, non-commercial use on the system or device it was intended for."

The terms also restrict renting, modifying, or obtaining games through unauthorised means. Nothing in there is new, technically. Sony's EULA has always said this. The timing is what makes it land differently right now.

For me in 2026 all the consoles are emulated, and PC games are all run with Proton.

The more they tighten their grip the more loyal customers slip through their fingers.

And if you're ATLUS stupid to use some dogshit like Denuvo your games are just flat out pirated.
