Sony's Scariest Patent Ever
Posted by Jason Dunn in "NEWS" @ 01:57 PM
"A patent may allow Sony to ensure that no game would be playable from any console other than the one in which it was first read. Joystiq is reporting that this patent is the source of the many rumours that will mean as much to gamers as DRM is for music fans. The technology would allow an authentication code to be read and then rendered unreadable, making the software unplayable on any machine but the one which first read it."
This seems so insane it's almost laughable, but I put nothing past Sony - they have nothing but contempt for their customers. I already disliked Sony, but now I really loathe them.
