There’s a perfect opportunity right now for Asha Sharma and Matt Booty to recreate this. Just saying.

Addressing The PlayStation DRM Concerns TLDR: Wait for an official comment from Sony/PlayStation, not an AI reply, before jumping to conclusions. I know a lot of people are concerned about this supposed 30 Day DRM Change on PlayStation. However, there are several points I would like people to be aware of before panicking. 1️⃣ As of writing this, the Terms of Service contracts have not changed. There is nothing in the ToS that says that you have to connect to the Internet every 30 days or less or you will lose the ability to play your digitally owned games. 2️⃣ No Official Statement from Sony/PlayStation has been made saying that there has been a change in policy in regards to implementing DRM for games you own. No, an AI Chat bot reply is not the same as an official policy change or an official update to the ToS. If this is/were an actual new policy Sony/PlayStation would make it public. If this does happen it would likely be made official at the May Corporate Strategy Meeting or the Later Games & Network Services/SIE/PlayStation Business Segment Meeting. 3️⃣ For games that you DO NOT own but that you have license access to, there has ALWAYS been a type of DRM for them because they aren't owned by you. This includes the PS+ Monthly Games, The PS+ Game Catalog Games, & the games your friend is letting you borrow digitally through Game Sharing. The PS+ Monthly and Game Catalog Games that you have downloaded to your system will stop working if your PS+ Subscription Expires and there may be a 30 day time limit for it to check to make sure you are still on PS+ or if your friend is still allowing Game Sharing for his game to you. 4️⃣ There is also the possibility that this situation might be related to some people not having their PS5 set as their "Primary Device." Remember that you can only have 1 Primary Device, if your PS4 or your old PS5, before you upgraded to a new one or to a PS5 Pro, is still registered as your Primary Device the other ones that are not your primary device have also always had a kind of DRM. This is because it has to check to make sure that the non primary console is still "actually" registered to be allowed to play your games by you, which it checks online to do. This prevents fraud and theft, not just from PlayStation but also from you. For example if someone stole your PS5 you would obviously remove that console from your list of devices and after 30 days the thief wouldn't be able to access your games. If the device they stole was your Primary Console all you have to do is switch your primary console to another one and the same thing will happen. Side Note: additionally, sometimes, games can also have their licenses corrupted and you can go into the settings to have licenses restored to specific games. 5️⃣ The CMOS battery issue affects the internal clock. This was an issue for PS4 not PS5 and it was fixed. You will still be able to play downloaded games on your PS5 even in 15 years when the original CMOS battery dies but if it does die and you don't get it replaced you might not be able to connect to the Internet to download the games you own on your digital account but the ones that are already downloaded should play just fine. However, by the time the CMOS batteries for PS5 fail we will be on to the PS6 or PS6 generation. It is likely that if this "DRM" change is actually being applied to digital games that you own (not ones you have license access to) that it is a bug that will soon be fixed. If this is an actual NEW policy change Sony/PlayStation will make it official at either the Corporate Strategy Meeting or the Business Segment Meeting for G&NS in May.
