While this may slow pirates down temporarily (as they’ll surely find a way around it), it will definitely annoy consumers, not to mention retailers. What would happen to pre-owned game sales? What would happen when games can’t be loaned out amongst friends?
Those are two important hurdles lying in the path of any such plan. Contacted for comment, Sony tells Kotaku “We are looking at a few options”, but are “not ready to confirm our next steps yet”.
