game studios will fire the devs after the game is done and then tell the players they should buy the deluxe edition for a hundred bucks to play a week early but you need to be always online and don't own the game.

Great plan, but I'd bet the 'lobbyists' have gotten to the first
I'd like to remind Sony that this is why I do not and will not own a PlayStation.
I get why they need to do this*, but come on let the law figure it out, not you.
- Someone would claim rights to the software in a way that would allow them to do whatever they want because they own it.
Are there physical Playstation games that DOESN'T Have EULA?
Because I'm not dealing with this shit
The only solace is at least the majority of AAA games coming out now are so ass that i don't want them anyway.
