    This kind of news should be paired with the pre-order numbers of GTA6. To better understand how many of the Sony users actually care about this.

    Hint: it’s not a lot.

      You don’t need a lot of people. I don’t remember the exact percentage but it’s something like if 10% of the population is willing to show support your cause it’s enough to get a law passed. Just look at SKG initiative. It took a million Europeans to get the political ball rolling not just in the EU but also in California. What we need is a continuation of SKG where digital purchases of products actually gives us ownership over said product and not just a use license where companies like Sony can do whatever they want with your purchase.

      I’ll just add the tangent: imaging pre-ordering a digital-only release.

      “Pretty please, Take Two, can I give you my money in exchange for nothing at all of value?”

      What even is this world. What have they done to us.

        What if they run out of bytes because everyone is downloading at the same time? Preordering allows you to have your bytes to download already assigned., right?

        I like to imagine that this is the answer they give if you ask the reason to preorder a digital game several months ahead its launch.
