YouTuber RGT_85 falsely claims that it is now illegal to sell your PlayStation 5 games.

YouTuber RGT_85 claims that it's now illegal to resell your PlayStation 5 games after reading Sony's Terms of Service (TOS) agreement.

Insider-gaming.com picked up on his story and wrote an article about it.

https://insider-gaming.com/sony-is-banning-the-resale-of-physical-ps5-games/

But now the article has been deleted after users pointed out that this TOS agreement has been in place since 2013.

Web archive shows it has been on their website for years.

June 2nd, 2015.

Software Usage Terms

Final Fantasy VII cover has the same agreement.

More evidence that gaming journalism is a joke, so many people ran with this and didn't do any research at all.

This is the clown that "broke" the story. These people care more about being first than being right. And it doesn't matter that its been deleted and retracted, a ton of other outlets, youtubers, and fanboys are running with it and it's spreading fast.

Wonder why everyone's so eager to spread anti-Playstation FUD. How much do you wanna bet that people out there will run with it and refuse to admit that it's been debunked?

I bet RGT_85 won't say anything unless more people start calling him out.

Of course, just like when DeekeTweak's fake graph was debunked and he admitted to being wrong, stupid Xbox fanboys were still like "the evil ponies bullied you but it's ok, now we know the truth" and they still use that graph to this day.







On the flipside, the media always tries to spin bad Xbox news into positives as much as they can. When Phil did that KindaFunny interview where he said they lost the console war and were 3rd place, there were a bunch of articles like "Here's what Phil really meant - and no Xbox is not last place". Or they only talk about how he's so great and brave for being so honest, and not about anything he actually said.

Another organized FUD campaign against the PS5 right before Christmas to spread negative news about it.

Last week they organized the "next-gen Xbox" to bury the bad news about Xbox sales, recycling old tweets from September. Every forum were talking about it like it was brand new info

Report the video and his channel, if enough of us report it. It might get taken down

Because PS is #1. The media always tries to tear down the #1 entity in most industries. I remember when the sports media would spread doom and gloom about the NFL a couple of years ago.

Seeing as it's not the case in every industry (MS is fiercly protected by media, for example), maybe it's just about who controls media the most.

This PSPlusTracker account on Twitter seems like a PlayStation centric account, but its run by one of the most obnoxious Xbox fanboys. And of course he uses his following to spread misinformation....

Sony and Playstation is the only example I can think of.

Who is the number 1 getting attacked in the cinema and music industry? Where are the Amazon fans attacking the Walmart fans? Disney attacking Netflix?

This only happens in industries with Microsoft because they can't shut up about their competitors (Apple, Google and Sony).

Imagine being so obsessed with fighting on behalf of Microsoft and Xbox that you spend the leadup to the holidays making up fake controversies against Playstation.

This is so anti-consumer. What's next, we need Phil Spencer's signature before starting a game?

 

[anonpuffs]

what's more important is how come none of the governmental agencies have cracked down on that kind of language? barring resale of games is some actual anticonsumer shit and was ruled against by the supreme court in Kirtsaeng v. Wiley.
