For the past few days, passionate PlayStation fans have been waging a campaign to convince Sony not to restrict used games on the PS4.
Theyāve taken to Twitter, posting messages with the hashtag #PS4NoDRMāan acronym for Digital Rights Management, which has become the common term for technology that limits how digital products (like video games) can be used. The campaignās goal: to ensure that we can buy, sell, and borrow games on the PS4 without restriction.

Well played, Sony. The good news is: if Sony executives are joking around about this stuff on Twitter, chances are they donāt have anything super-restrictive planned for the PS4. Because if they do, and theyāre still trolling peopleā¦ well, those people will riot in the streets.
