Willing to bet this only applies to DOWNLOADED software.
So they didn't amend it, it's been in the software license agreement for at least two years:

It's just like saying how there's stuff in the TOS saying you can't sue the company in question. It's been there since forever. Jesus people.

Does any of this even matter. hakor already posted the president of Sony worldwide studios saying you [I]can[/I] resell your games.
They literally can't lie about this. It would be blatant false advertising and the shareholders would flip.
Fuck i dunno I'm just dumping information here.

The only interesting thing here is how some clever people have managed to make a click bait story out of a phrase that has already existed within the agreement for more than two years.
Oh, so basically it says you can't sell the data on the disc, but you can sell the media the data is on.
So every ToS ever.
[QUOTE=milkandcooki;42834718]i almost typed up a "what about steam/origin" post but I realize PC gaming's probably going to be better off 'cause we've got GOG and shit.[/QUOTE]
Steams pretty good. It gets more hate than it deserves.
I've not sold any games for nearly a decade.
my uncle works for sony playstation he told me that the ps4 will be able to play xbox 360 AND philips cdi games
[QUOTE=Swilly;42834861]Steam has similar rules in their ToS.[/QUOTE]
Steam never said you would be able to share games the way Sony did. Not sure what your statement has to do with the subject at all.

so it's basically the dreamcast 2?
how the fuck do you not see how this is something that literally everything has
literally every form of media and beyond does this.... you can't resell movies, Twizzlers, games, bananas, etc.
you don't see anyone bitching about "Not for resale" on a pack of gum.
and literally nothing will happen if you hand your game to someone else.
misleading thread. you can still share your games, and trade them in to retailers.

Here we thought the corporations were attempting to fuck us over, but it was ourselves all along...

They really could've phrased it better.
What an obnoxious title.

[QUOTE=Bletotum;42834701]racking up tons of publicity on a claim they knew they wouldn't keep to
well then[/QUOTE][QUOTE=MajorMattem;42834686]They waited with this because they knew they could rack up pre-order sales, and so they could be the 'good guys' and trick everyone. Jesus. Those motherfuckers.[/QUOTE]
even if this was real this is really like not an issue period lol
[QUOTE=gk99;42835134]They really could've phrased it better.[/QUOTE]
legal documents are obliged to be worded very precisely. you must read them very carefully.
It's all legal mumbojumbo, if we can even give credit to the site to be real. Basically, from what I've gathered, it more or less means you cannot sell the content ON the discs, but can sell the disc itself. Could be wrong though, a good lawyer a biologist does not make.
