Sony&#8217;s Shuhei Yoshida told <a href=\"http:\/\/www.eurogamer.net\/articles\/2013-02-21-the-big-interview-sonys-shuhei-yoshida-on-ps4\">Eurogamer<\/a> in a February interview that a PS4 owner could &#8220;play offline&#8221; but &#8220;may want to keep it connected.&#8221; When Eurogamer asked if gamers could resell their PS4 games, the answer was a bit more vague.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Eurogamer:<\/strong> So if someone buys a PlayStation 4 game, you&#8217;re not going to stop them reselling it?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Shuhei Yoshida:<\/strong> Aaaah. [Asks PR adviser.] So what was our official answer to our internal question? [Consults adviser.] So, used games can play on PS4. How is that?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>At the time, these answers were seen as a refutation of the rumors surrounding Sony&#8217;s next-gen console. In light of more recent revelations, namely the Xbox One&#8217;s plans and EA discontinuing their Online Pass program, these early Sony answers seem a little less convincing. In fact, there seems to be a lot of wiggle room in those answers. For example, Microsoft told reporters that the Xbox One &#8220;could play used games&#8221; but neglected to mention that they may have a fee or registration process that makes things more difficult.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/kotaku.com\/sony-wont-answer-these-questions-about-ps4-drm-and-use-510477281\">Kotaku<\/a> finally asked Sony for clear answers on the used game DRM and online connectivity issue and received the following response:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I looked into this, and at this point we&#8217;re not providing any additional clarification beyond what we stated around the PS4 announcement. If anything changes, I&#8217;ll be sure to keep you posted.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>We always have E3 to hope for better answers!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1684,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[37],"class_list":["post-22044","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-games","tag-playstation-4"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
