Ilhan Omar gives a history lesson: “The last time the Alien Enemies Act was invoked it was used during World War ELEVEN.”
So ResetEra user Andshrew and now also confirmed by DoesItPlay, appear to have figured out what's going on with #PlayStation's DRM. The good news is it's only a temporary DRM, not permanent. Here's how it works. When you buy a digital game, you are issued a temporary 30 day license for offline play. This license automatically transitions to a permanent license that will be free from future online check-ins, any time you connect after the 15th day of ownership, just after the 14 day refund window. But you have to log in or be connected to the internet for it to switch. You will not lose the license to the game if don't connect within or after the 30 day temporary license window, but you will be unable to play the game after 30 days, till you do, after which it'll turn into an indefinite DRM free license. Previously you'd be given an indefinite offline play license from the get go. So why did they implement this? It's possible people found an exploit where they could grab the indefinite license file for a game using an exploitable console, and then refund the purchase so they got the game for free. Hence Sony's current method of mitigating said issue is by time limiting the initial license issued. By issuing a temporary licence during the refund window, users can no longer pirate a permanent license and simply refund the game. As long as you log in any time a day after the 14 day refund window of any digital game purchase, it will turn into a permanent DRM free digital licence. At least this is what these two users have investigated and concluded. ResetEra link. #post-154305715" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">resetera.com/threads/sonys-…
DoesItPlay confirmation. xcancel.com/DoesItPlay1/st…"Oh, it's just 30 days!" "What, you're not gonna connect to the internet in 30 days?" Yeah, it's just 30 days now. Next is: Verify your Identity at the end of that 30 days or lose access to your account. This should BURY PlayStation, but Gamers aren't angry enough.

.@Bungie Principal Comms Manager @A_dmg04 needs his safe space because the community commenting on Destiny is just ...too rough for him. Also gives vibes that he knows his time is short, walls are closing in: "...as long as I’m given the opportunity to." This approach is so tiring. People do not OWE corporations kindness or money. Impress them w/quality experiences, or GTFO. Your game is failing. You block feedback and then cry when it collapses. Fries in the bag.
