No it's not "pretty much" like PS3. Or it is.
We don't know. It's possible that since Sony isn't doing the integrated used game blocking Microsoft is doing that they will employ it themselves... we have seen 'online passes' being sold before, but they could just as easily make it a "used game pass" and add a fee to every used game sold just like on the Xbox One. Sony said that all you have to do is give your game to your friend.. well that is with THEIR games. Now they are saying publishers can set their own policies...
MS made it easier for publishers to set policies, while Sony is basically allowing them to do the same while keeping their hands clean for the vocal internet people.
And BTW if this happens, instead of relying on a huge network run by the biggest company in the world, you are relying on publisher servers who seem to be dropping like flies lately.. The funny thing I have been noticing about the reaction to microsoft's DRM is "what if my internet goes down". Yeah how often does that happen? And when it does, you just happen to need to play a game within the next day? What you SHOULD be worries about is THEIR internet going down. Like if Valve ever decides to pull the plug on Steam, and your entire library disappears... That is the shit you should be worried about, not your own little world of not being able to play games for a few hours because your Shaw connection fucked up over night.
Amyway, we just don't know anything for sure yet, so I wouldn't assume either way. The only thing I do know is that publishers are greedy cunts
