**Title: I Bought GTA V on Steam â Now Sony Wants Me to Pay *Again*?!**
You know what's more criminal than Trevor on a rampage? The absolute scam that is cross-platform licensing â or more accurately, the total lack of it. I bought *Grand Theft Auto V* on **Steam**, and like a fool, I assumed â in the year 2025, mind you â that I might be able to play it on my **PlayStation** without having to re-mortgage my soul.
WRONG.
Apparently, buying a game *once* isnât enough anymore. I forked over my money to Rockstar via Steam, downloaded 90GB of compressed American chaos, and now I find out that if I want to play the *same exact game* on my PlayStation, I have to buy it *again* through Sonyâs little walled garden of overpriced mediocrity.
Letâs get this straight:
* The game is the **same**.
* The publisher is the **same**.
* My money is **real** either way.
And yet somehow, Sony and Rockstar have the gall to pretend that Iâm supposed to buy a **second copy** like itâs 2006 and weâre swapping discs with our friends behind the school gym.
What century are we living in? I can watch a movie I bought on my phone, tablet, smart TV, fridge, and probably a calculator if I try hard enough. But games? Nope. If you want to switch platforms, you'd better have your wallet ready because apparently âdigital ownershipâ is just a fancy way of saying âtemporary platform-specific rental.â
Why is there no unified licensing system? Why canât Rockstar link my Social Club account across platforms and just let me play the damn game I already paid for? The only thing âcross-platformâ here is the *disrespect* for customers.
And don't give me the "different ecosystems" excuse. If they can sell me shark cards on both platforms, they can sell me a license that *travels with me*. But no â weâre stuck living in a digital feudal system where Sony is the greedy lord and Iâm the peasant who dared ask for access to land I already paid for.
Enough is enough. I donât want crossplay. I donât want cloud saves. I want **cross-ownership**. One game, one purchase, **everywhere**.
Until then, Sony and Rockstar can enjoy my middle finger â because they sure as hell arenât getting another cent. Until GTA 6.
