PlayStation Repeats Digital License Warning as 7-Day Boycott Targets 2028 Disc Phaseout

Summary
Sony again told PlayStation users that digital games are “licensed, not sold” as a seven-day player blackout began on August 23.
The email restated terms saying software is non-transferable and licensed only for private, non-commercial use, and users reported receiving it even after months of inactivity.
The boycott was organized after Sony said physical game discs would be discontinued from January 2028, with participants urged to log out or switch off consoles until August 30.
Whether the protest changes Sony’s digital-only push is unclear, with organizers framing the weeklong action as a limited way for players to register opposition.
