But what about people who play time-limited PS3 games after their authorized expiration date! Won't someone think of the software companies?

I wonder how far out the expiration dates are? Surely they must all expire within a year or two? Can you get a time-limited game and say you want it for 50 years?

If Sony can't hold up their end of the deal with software license holders, then they need to work out a deal with the software company. It shouldn't involve end users at all.
