I own 4 PS5 games, all are physical, all were bought used and I can sell them on if I want. This November I opted not to renew PS plus.
It amazes me this is still possible but I'm not complaining.

In addition, remember how Sony bought OnLive then shut it down? Fuckers.

Sounds like class action baby
Nah, they have a clause in their EULA which allows this, it's ridiculous. Piracy is the only solution.
Just because they write it into their EULA it doesn't make it legal.
Unfortunately this particular clause has been tested pretty throughly in court and current courts (*in the United States of America) have decided that your average Joe has alternative options and can/has consented to the licensing clause of the Eula. The only thing that might change (and should change by the way) is Sony/others being able to use the term "purchase/buy" without specifying in clear detail that you're purchasing a temporary license to the product and not a copy of the product. This is laid out in the Eula, but should also be either directly labeled near the purchase button or prompted and accepted during checkout. Wouldn't change things but at least people can't then bitch when the leopard eats their face.
Playstation plus price increase, taking bought media away, banning accounts for no reason. What's next for Sony?
"ownership" lol
In the current stage of late capitalism we do not actually own anything, we cannot question the sanctity of "Capital" and we are already monitored in many ways 24/7
