A lot of gamers still prefer physical discs over digital copies despite advancements in internet speeds and console storage. Some of the primary reasons that many players want physical copies are that they can share it with friends and perhaps resell it once they are finished - luckily, this is something that Sony isn't trying to curb, despite such rumors.
Yesterday, there was information shared on social media that Sony updated its terms of service to prohibit the resale of physical games. Nintendeal shared an image on X regarding the PlayStation Terms of Service. The user notes that "no one complies with this and it is unrealistic to think anyone ever would."
Clause 7.1, taken out of context for maximum internet outrage, reads: "You must not resell either disc-based games or digital games, unless expressly authorised by us and, if the publisher is another company, additionally by the publisher."
The information reportedly originated from YouTuber RGT85 and was subsequently shared via multiple social media sites. The news has caused confusion among PS5 owners with users questioning the legality of the clause.
