tl;dr: Four California PlayStation users are suing Sony under a new state law (AB 2426) that bars using terms like "Buy" for digital goods without clear license disclosures. Sony's motion to compel arbitration argues "reasonable consumers" wouldn't believe they own digital games—yet the article documents extensive Sony marketing, support pages, and terms that repeatedly refer to players "owning" digital games, DLC eligibility for "owners," and upgrade paths for games "you already own." A hearing is set for October 1, 2026. | |
