Sony recently sent an email to folks with PlayStation accounts reminding them of the Terms of Service they agreed to when signing up, the lack of full rights to digital purchases, and all.

The email has arrived not even two months after Sony made its decision to end physical disc production for new games on PlayStation consoles in 2028 public, which is certainly… a choice.
