Sony Reminds PS Users They Don't Own Digital Games (games.gg)

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.

You have to buy a Google phone (i.e. pay iPhone 17 Pro money for an iPhone 11-powered phone), so Google already double dipped.

1: You can buy used, which means not giving money to Google

2: In what way is this "already double dipped"? Double dipping would be selling your data after selling you the phone, but you reserved that for "triple dipping"

I consider it double dipping to charge 2026 prices on 2019 performance. They're saving the money not using performant parts and they're still charging full price. The old Nexus phones were the same way, except they were cheaper than flagships.

Used is a thing but it's kind of sketchy. And an older phone isn't going to be supported as long.
