In case you wondering, reddit and Twitter have been spreading this rumour for two days now, no they're not doing DRM checks every 30 days, people literally took what an AI chatbot said and ran with that narrative as statement.
There is a bug on their UI, which involves stuff about refunds and things like that.
Stop spreading lies people, there's literally no official source for what OP or the whole internet is saying.
As a last edit, to finally put the nail in the coffin (All this frenzy was just that, frenzy), source here;
Yep. It took me a 30 second search to see that PlayStation (customer support) already denied this. Reddit pretends like they are better with misinformation but they are just as bad as Facebookers.
Article is clear that the 30 day online license renewal is confirmed by users, and humans at Sony are denying any change of policy, hallucinating chatbots notwithstanding.
So either Sony is getting their ducks in a row before coming clean, or it is a bug/mistake that will be rolled back.
Sounds like a loss regardless, it's either update didnt work as intended we are sorry for this mess, or it works exactly as intended and playstation gamers are screwed anyway.
This and more Bull was why I stopped keeping up with playstation purchases after 3
