TV host and industry pundit Geoff Keighley has said on tonightâs Bonus Round TV show that, according to his sources, Sony is looking at some form of digital rights management for the sale of used games.
ââŚThe one thing that is amazing to me is that right now weâre not hearing a lot from the game publishers about what their view is on this. The console companies are becoming the bad guys. And, you know, Microsoft is getting beaten up a lot on it. Sony, I think, has been seen as this kind of white knight so far thatâs not going to restrict used games. Based on some of the things Iâm hearing, I donât think thatâs entirely true, because I canât see publishers allowing one system to do one thing and one do another.â
Itâs not the first time such a rumour has popped up; we told you the same thing over a year ago, and Sonyâs vague, open-ended statements on the matter to date have done little to ease peopleâs fears.
