fuck sony. i was done when my PS3 didn't transfer to the PS4 and everyone else should have been done with them as well

(im talking about how i couldnt play the PS1, PS2, or PS3 [and PSP games if we're being honest] games that I paid for and downloaded on my PS3 and PSP)

despite the fact that you could buy the things in the PS4 shop.

it do be making me very angry, arrr

Probably is because UK and the Scand nations actually enforce customer protection laws against tech companies pulling this shit.

Hopefully they pay attention to this happening.

This is extremely worrying. When Ultraviolet died, they made a lot of effort to transfer your movie licenses.

Since then, nobody really has tried anything shitty like this except Walmart, but at least with Walmart, the digital copies were free, so you couldn't really be mad. Even though people traded the codes and still lost out.

This is straight up "fuck you, we got ours"

I hope they get sued or this is gonna become more common everywhere.

I'm sure somewhere in the T&Cs when signing up for a Sony account there's a line in there on page 420 stating any digital content is removable at Sony's discretion or something like that.

Sucks for anyone who bought movies but it's likely going to be a fair next.

Sony should at least offer a token refund amount or some kind of discount or something, even if it's ultimately insulting

They all have them, but not everything in a T&Cs is legal and can't be sued for.

BTW if anyone ever wants to play old Ass Creed DLC that you bought years ago ever again, better download it now cause it's going away forever.

And people said I was a dinosaur for still buying blu-rays.

Honestly: if you bought a digital movie and it gets removed I'd say you're entitled to pirate it.

Sounds highly illegal. They are basically begging people to pirate their games without saying the words specifically.

Do they clearly and prominently advertise on the store page that you are renting it and the licence expires on x date?

Because otherwise the expectation is that the licence doesnt expire because theres no expiry date advertised. Its not clearly labelled as a temporary rental.

So should we rent it instead? When a lot of movies first drop the price points are almost the same to buy or rent.
