      Yes, paying $100 for a voidable license to play a video game is fun, isn’t it

      There’s a reason they don’t want ‚ownership‘ to go to courts.

      Even with if they claim you own a ‚license‘, per conventional ownership, you still ‚own‘ that access to a product, that they should not just be able to revoke since you ‚own‘ it. the principles are embodied quite well in the first sale doctrine.

      Well, I’ve have taken the “if purchasing isn’t owning then pirating isn’t stealing” to heart. No more digital purchases for me… the call of the seven seas and my new NAS will provide going forward.

      Never been happier to not buy digital movies/shows.

      I am worried about my digital Sony games now.

      Valve has a policy, every game and company must abide by it. You can delist a game from the store, but can’t remove from an user’s library – never.

      That is common sense, and should be applied to every digital purchase by law.

      (and more from a consumer perspective)

      Or ‚if buying isn’t owning….‘

      Prior to online streaming services, piracy was rampant, due to the pricing models and inconvenience of the media (unskippable ads on DVDs, rental availability, etc.). Now streaming services embracing the enshittification model of the internet are sending people back to piracy in droves because of their idiotic, myopic greed.

      I thought it was going to be a bunch of no-name indie movies; but it’s not.

      Between this and an the AI companies pirating everything without consequence…I just can’t justify purchasing media anymore.

      Shit like this is why the movie industry needs the added avenues of release without DRM like how music currently has it with sites like Bandcamp and Qobuz. Seems like it is the only form of media that still is holding a tight grip with staying on DRM only distribution methods that don’t actually let you keep a copy of what you purchased, just a license to watch it (and also have it revoked through fine print and bullshit they could use less of). Presented as a lifetime offer. Not your lifetime, though. The lifetime of the product itself on a loan to you.

      Sorry but digital platforms all have a “BUY” and a “RENT” button.

      Terms of service be damned. BUY is a purchase for ownership. I am not renting or leasing your digital product. You sold it to me.

      I’ve made the conscious decision to not “buy” anything digitally for about a year now. Sucks to be proven right

      This is the first time it is happening to this scale. Sony is the first one to fully remove content. Fandango at Home (aka Vudu) lost licensing for a studios movies last year. They removed them for purchase but anyone who had purchased the content still had it available to view. Sony are just being a-holes here.

      Physical media is not the answer, guys. Laws need updating for digital goods.

    30. SmooshedLion on

      Respond here if you bought one of these movies on Sonys service which has not been active and selling content from 2021.

      Cmon. How many people does this affect, a few hundred? Buy from a trusted source

    36. MrGuvernment on

      Too late to do chargebacks?

      it is sad that to this day in our „Global Economy“ that studio’s are still so stuck on countries and regions for their content and licensing.

    37. boogswald on

      I was not worried about this sort of thing, but now it’s obvious I will not purchase anything from Sony digitally any more.

    39. e1epi on

      Two things I do with this information.

      1: if I’m buying media I make sure to get the physical copy.

      2: don’t buy SONY products or services.

    40. HeidenShadows on

      The caption at the bottom of the announcement was even more annoying.

      „Play has no limits“

      Uh huh until they take them away.

    41. TheThirdStrike on

      This is why I buy physical games.

      Might not be the best version of the game, but it is still there and playable..

      If they can revoke your right to play it, you never actually bought it.

      Meanwhile, I’ll play just sit here and play *Super Spike V’ball* while drinking with my buddies and never worry about losing access to the game I love.
