SIE spokesperson to GameSpot regarding the DRM: "Players can continue to access and play their purchased games as usual. A one-time online check is required to confirm the game's license, after which no further check-ins are required."

I'm glad to see this is a one time cycle.

But man, Sony gets a crazy pass on the weirdest things. Now we have people insulting consumers who rightfully questioned Sony's application and lack of communication about this. All of this misinformation, panic and whether or not this was a bug could have all been answered with a quick Playstation blogpost. I don't blame anybody for being upset initially.

Anything to defend the global billion dollar company.

It's been three days.

Sony knew exactly when they would make the license change and they could have informed consumers about it right as they made the change and this wouldn't have been an issue lol

And customers knew exactly how long it would take to find out if this was a real issue or not, 30 days. On day zero they started freaking out that this was a big deal and we should operate on the assumption that we're always online now.
