Sony’s PlayStation Store Pulling Access to Purchased Studiocanal Movies Next Month

Sony's PlayStation Store will remove access to Studiocanal movie titles that users in Germany and Austria previously purchased.

No word on if they'll be refunded but movies they purchased digitally will be removed from the service leaving customers that bought them unable to access them.

That's wack as hell. Hence the reason I'm adamant on physicals.

Alexa, play “Never gonna give you up” by Rick Astley

Not Sony but still foul. If you bought Assassins Creed Liberation on Steam in September it’s a wrap for your ability to play the game at all.

 

[ColdSlither]

I'll say this. The moment I can get a physical PS5, I'm getting it and selling the digital to my brother.

Best Buy got physical Vanguard on sale for $20. The digital version of the exact same game is still $60. As much as I'd like to play it, I'm waiting until the digital has a price drop because that's how much against physical media I am at this point. I'm 31, grew up on physical media, and refuse to be one of these clowns tryna hold on to the old ways cuz of the boogeyman snatching ownership rights.

The hassle of keeping up with all them discs aint worth it. I can live with the possibility of my rights to a game being revoked years and years after the last time i even played the shyt anyway ol' issa collector's item ass nikkas

Yeah not gonna lie iI am a fan of Digital, quicker and little fear of scratches or breaks.
The heartbreak I had when a tiny scratch on my NFL 2k5 basically totaled the disc smh....tragic.

This isn’t fuel for your anti digital agenda

There is no anti-digital agenda from me. I love digital media from trustworthy sources. I buy all my books digital from Amazon for example. I only use Spotify and YouTube Music to listen to music. Audible for audiobooks.

Due to the nature of video games on consoles the companies that sell them are not worthy of consumer trust to be good stewards of maintaining access to items they took money from people to allow them digital access to. Those companies only concern is the short term monetization of what they sell. Long term when it becomes inconvenient for them to maintain customer access they will shut that off.

No online game will last forever. Don’t matter if you buy it physical or digital.

It’s not even reasonable to expect them to keep servers open perpetually unless there’s a monthly fee or heavy monetization associated with the game.

Are the full games even on the disc anymore? Cause if I got to buy the physical and still have to plugin online to even be able to play the game then its no different than having a digital copy to me.
