The relevant section is blunt. “The Software is licensed to you, not sold,” the EULA states. “You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and personal license to play or use the Software for your private, non-commercial use on the system or device it was intended for.”
The terms also restrict renting, modifying, or obtaining games through unauthorised means. Nothing in there is new, technically. Sony’s EULA has always said this. The timing is what makes it land differently right now.



no way this is not gonna backfire for them somehow or somewho
It won’t. Even with GoG, you have limited rights. This has been the same since the ps3 era.
Umm way longer then that. Its always been this way with video and software.
